The Web-MD Website also cites the importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (found in Salmon, Sardines, Eggs and Nuts) which ‘help keep the top outer layer of the skin strong and intact so that external pollutants are kept out’ according to Dermatologists David Bank, M.D., Director of the Centre for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, New York. These are just a few examples of the vitamins and minerals found in our food, but clearly highlight the importance of a varied yet balanced diet if we want to keep our skin as healthy as possible.
It’s not only what we eat that has an impact on the texture and appearance of our skin – what we drink is important too. Adequate hydration is essential in keeping our skin looking at its best, a factor clearly explained by Julius Few, M.D., Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Chicago, in an article for Women’s Health Magazine. He states that there are a number of structures in the skin that support collagen, and that requires an adequate amount of water to work effectively.
