When Winter comes, dry skin comes along with it. Since there's less humidity is the air, my skin gets so uncomfortable and itchy. Besides using a rich moisturizer, turning down the heat, and using a humidifier, eating these foods can also help improve dry skin.

  1. Foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids: salmon, flaxseed, tuna, avocado, nuts
  2. Foods that contain zinc: oysters, crab, beef, and beans. Zinc helps heal wounds.
  3. Foods rich in sulfur: garlic, onions, and eggs. They help to keep your skin smooth.
  4. Water. Not sure how much you need? Then check out Fit's Calculator.
  5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These diuretics will suck your skin dry.

    I consume everything on the list on a daily basis, including the bad stuff like caffeine and alcohol. I drink coffee in the morning, and red wine the evening.

    yeap, alcohol will do that to the skin, but also a good hangover cures all of my blemishes and spots right away, and my skin is like velvet.
