Feb 25 2008 - 7:30am

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 [1], turning down the heat, and using a humidifier [2], eating these foods can also help improve dry skin.

  1. Foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids: salmon, flaxseed [3], tuna, avocado [4], nuts
  2. Foods that contain zinc [5]: oysters, crab, beef, and beans. Zinc helps heal wounds.
  3. Foods rich in sulfur [6]: 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 [7].
  5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These diuretics will suck your skin dry.
