Foods for dry skin

Posted on Mar 11th 2008 10:21PM by Martha Edwards
Winter may be winding to a close, but dry skin is far from a thing of the past. But, like with most body issues, what you eat can make a big difference. If you are having trouble with dry skin, Fitsugar recommends you load up on these foods:
  • Omega-3s, found in fish, avocado and flaxseed
  • Foods with Zinc
  • Foods rich in sulphur, like eggs and garlic.
  • And, of course, water.
Other suggestions? Use a humidifier, turn down the heat in your house, bathe as seldom as you comfortably can and invest in a rich moisturizing cream. Also, avoid diuretics like caffeine and alcohol -- they'll dry out your skin.
