If you're not convinced a healthy diet is the way to go, consider this: The better you eat, the better your skin looks. I don't know about you, but I sure don't like a compromised complexion. If you don't either, try incorporating these healthy goods into your diet -- they'll work from the inside out and are as good for your skin as any cream you can slap on it, says Cheryl Forberg, author of Positively Ageless and contributor for Prevention.com.

• Omega-3-rich fish, such as salmon, anchovies, and sardines. Flax seed counts too. Full of wonderful oils for the skin, omega-3s promote softness and minimize fine lines.
• Lean dairy products, such as yogurt and kefir. These contain loads of calcium and protein and work to repair cells and promote the growth of collagen.
• Healthy fats, such as olive oil and nuts. Get your vitamin E and more omega-3s here if you want softer skin.
  
• Fruits and vegetables, especially berries, like blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Can't go wrong with these picks -- they'll secure the integrity of your skin.
