Have you considered that we can actually keep our skin looking and feeling great, no matter what your age, just by taking care of what we eat.

To add a really healthy, warm glow to your skin, you first need to look at vitamin A, as vitamin A plays an important roll in helping your skin cells to grow and mature properly, according to Dr Joshua Zeichner MD, who's the director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research at the dermatology department at Mount Sinai Medical Centre, New York. Foods rich in vitamin A are carrots, spirunlina and goji berries.

Omega 3 oils can help you in your race to turn back the clock on wrinkles, that's because Omega 3 oils do two very important things. Firstly they makes your cell membranes stronger, and this helps prevent your cells absorbing harmful toxins, and secondly they keep moisture from getting out, and this helps prevent your skin from drying. Chia Seeds are very rich in essential Omega 3 oils, other good sources are Bee Pollen, Goji Berries and Spirulina.

In order to keep your skin wrinkle free and smooth, your body produces something really amazing, it's a protein called elastin. It's elastin that keeps your skin tight and flexible, and for your body to produce good quality elastin in the right quantities, you need to have plenty of selenium. Selenium is a trace mineral and an excellent, natural food source of it are goji berries. This may explain why so many of Hollywood celebrities are big fans of them including: Madonna, Liz Hurley, Miranda Kerr and Helena Bonham Carter, to name a few.

Goji Berries also contain something else that helps your skin: vitamin C, (Goji has 50 times the vitamin C of oranges) and vitamin C supports the growth of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein which actually smoothes out wrinkles... giving your face a more youthful and fuller appearance, and there's research to prove it too. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that volunteers who consumed 4 mg of vitamin C daily for 3 years were 11% less likely to have a wrinkled appearance. Other super foods packed with vitamin C include chia seeds, wheatgrass, bee pollen, and spirulina. The key to good skin, like many things, is to a large extent down to good nutrition.
