Some of the best foods for your skin health are foods that are rich in beta-carotenes. Those are foods like carrots and yams, that you probably already knew about.

And those actually give your skin that beautiful healthy glow that you associate with the people that hang out in health food stores. But you also want to make sure you're hydrated. Water is one of the best ingredients for your healthy skin recipe, because water actually helps to flush your skin regularly. It keeps you hydrated, makes sure your skin is plump and not drawn and wrinkly. It's also important to know about the worst foods for your skin.

Caffeine can cause you to be slightly dehydrated, and sometimes your caffeine comes with extra doses of sugar and dairy, which can also take on that inflammatory response.
