Pumpkin Perfection
Look for bright colors when making food choices to keep your skin looking gorgeous.
The bright orange color of this squash indicates that it’s loaded with beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant. This gets converted to vitamin A which helps neutralize nasty free radicals that prevent wrinkles, keeps our skin youthful and moisturized. This is perfect if you are experiencing some dry skin blues as the weather continues to cool.
Pumpkin is also packed with vitamin C, another skin-saving antioxidant that protects collagen and keeps our immune system in tip top shape.

Sweet Potato Gorgeous
In one sweet potato you will find more than 200% of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. By now you know vitamin A is important for having amazing skin, because it promotes the growth of new skin cells and increases the rate at which this happens – and that leaves you with a glowing complexion.
From a sweet potato, you’ll also get three grams of fiber which keeps your digestive tract happy, healthy and functioning properly during the season of eating. A healthy digestive track can help keep your skin blemish-free.

Kale is Kewl!
This leafy green veggie is the top of the crop when it comes to beauty foods!
Kale is full of antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals. It is a major source of vitamin A which is used in many topical prescriptions to boost skin beauty. Vitamin A is amazing because it changes the structure of the skin and actually increases collagen. This keeps your skin strong, firm and wrinkle-free!
I recommend eating kale every day to maintain a youthful and glowing complexion, especially during the holidays when you may indulge in a few holiday cocktails and various sweets.
This Kale Salad with Cranberries and Toasted Walnuts is amazing. The walnuts boost your intake of omega-3 fatty acids which fight inflammation and help skin hold moisture.

Carrot-ene is great for your skin
Carrots are not only good for your eyes but they encourage lovely smooth skin.
Our skin is up against a lot of environmental factors like sun radiation and toxins, which combined with stress, leads to a weakened defense against damaging free radicals that attack the integrity of our skin. Carotenoids, found in carrots, are your protection from these everyday pollutants and will prevent wrinkles.
Dessert doesn’t have to damage your skin either! Here’s a sugar-free and gluten-free dessert to try: no-bake Carrot Cake Bites. Offering these fabulously guilt-free, sweet treats will make you a very popular party host or guest.
