lead to eczema. Foods high in omega-3s include salmon, tuna, and trout. If fish isn’t your thing, look for flaxseed, avocado, and walnuts.
Zinc Foods
If your skin is dry and cracked, look to foods containing zinc.
Zinc helps heal wounds by repairing damaged skin while also protecting it from future abuse.
Foods like oysters, beans, turkey, crab, and lean beef are rich in zinc.
Vitamin A Foods
Vitamin A goes a long way when soothing dry, flaky skin and is easily found in dark, leafy greens. Vitamin A can also help repair skin damage, which is helpful if you find yourself in the wind or sun a lot.
Besides leafy greens, pick up some carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and pumpkin — how convenient that these are all seasonal, fall veggies!
Vitamin E Foods
This powerful vitamin helps skin retain its natural moisturizers and bolsters UV defense.
Foods high in vitamin E include nuts and seeds, avocado, wheat germ, ground flaxseed/flaxseed oil, dark leafy greens, and broccoli.
