When you first go out, your skin is the first thing a person will see, and not only that you skin helps to keep you healthy, so it is important to take the time to look after your skin at the same time. Not only that there are lots of things that can effect our skin, for example, what we eat, what we drink, the chemicals we have in our foods, whether we exercise, whether we smoke, whether we wear sun screen, do we relax and also whether we get enough sleep at night.

Antioxidants

When you’re looking after your skin, eating antioxidants like Vitamin A, C and E have been said to help decrease the risk of things like the Sun and other environmental changes from damaging your skin. Not only can antioxidants help to decrease the damage done by environmental changes it can also help when it comes to inflammation. There are a variety of different sources of antioxidants such as:

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is incredibly important in your diet because it can ease the dryness especially if you have dry or combination skin, but also it helps to defence your skin against UV rays. If you spend a lot of time in the garden or you have a job where you are in the sun for long periods of time, then making sure that you have a good amount of vitamin E intake.
