Tomatoes
One of your skin's best defenses, tomatoes contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene. Many suggest that lycopene may be responsible for helping to protect the skin against sun damage.

Lycopene is best absorbed by the body when it has been cooked or processed,so eating tomato sauce, tomato paste, and ketchup is likely to be more effective than just eating raw tomatoes when trying to safeguard your skin against harmful UV rays. Lycopene is also fat soluble, which means that it is absorbed more easily when consumed with fat, such as eggs, avocado, and olive oil.

Red Meat
Even though red meat does contain saturated fat and cholesterol, lean red meat is one of the good ones because it's so high in protein and zinc. Recent studies suggest that red meat may be even better at treating acne than antibiotics.

The protein in red meat has the highest concentration of two amino acids,  glycine and proline, which are needed to produce collagen. The mineral zinc is also crucial for collagen production.  Plus, zinc is a natural anti-inflammatory.  And vegetarians can find high concentrations of glycine in seafood, proline in cottage cheese and cabbage, and zinc in lentils, kidney beans, and raw oysters.

Green Tea
Green tea is an antioxidant powerhouse. Its strong anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects are attributed to its high concentration of catechin compounds. Studies have shown that green tea can be used both orally and topically to help protect the skin from sunburns and UV-associated skin cancers.

Drinking one cup of green tea twice a day over the course of six months may actually reverse sun damage and significantly improve any problems you have with redness and broken capillary veins.

Green Beans
These low-calorie beans can help you grow thicker hair and healthier nails. Green beans are one of the richest sources of silicon, not to be confused with silicone, which is found in bad lip jobs and breast implants!  10 mg per day seems to be adequate for strengthening hair and nails, according to recent studies. Organic green beans retain more silicon from the soil.

Walnuts
Walnuts are incredibly high in omega-3s along with salmon.  If you're concerned with redness, swelling, blotchiness, acne breakouts, or wrinkles, walnuts may be your new best friend.  Plant-based omega-3s, such as the ones found in walnuts, are naturally anti-inflammatory; they can help seal moisture into your skin and protect it from chemicals and other toxins. In particular, the alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in these omega-3s can work to combat the dryness associated with aging that leads to wrinkles. But don't stop with walnuts; you can also increase the amount of plant-based omega-3s in your diet by eating almonds, olive oil, and flaxseed, too.

Yogurt
Yogurt is a natural probiotic, which means that it helps replenish the "good" bacteria in your body and keeps yeast in check. This can come in handy if you have gastrointestinal issues or you're prone to yeast infections, but what does it have to do with feeding your face? Yogurt is an excellent food for dealing with acne breakouts, eczema, and even dandruff. Just be sure to choose a low-fat and low-sugar yogurt, since sugar can aggravate inflammation.
