Other Skin Clearing Foods
Eggs
Who doesn’t love eggs? Especially the yolks, which are full of skin clearing selenium, zinc and protein, among other vitamins.
Sweet Potato
There is evidence to suggest that high cortisone levels, one of the main hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress, can lead to breakouts. Regulating fluctuating blood sugar levels can help us to combat stress by lifting our moods. Try eating vitamin-packed complex carbohydrates, which release sugar slowly over time, like sweet potato. The root vegetable also contains beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A when it is digested, and can help to improve the circulation of oxygen to the skin.
Pumpkin Seeds
Try sprinkling a handful of pumpkin seeds over your salad. Each kernel is high in vitamin E, zinc and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, making them a good veggie skin clearing substitute.
