Skin-friendly snacks

Just found this list of healthy snacks that are also good for your skin in Self magazine.

• Eggs; they have protein, which promotes collagen growth, which in turn promotes resilience in your skin. Apparently one hardboiled egg fulfills 10% of your daily protein requirement! Who knew?!
• Nuts; Self recommends walnuts and pistachios in particular, as they are rich in skin-friendly omega-3 fatty acids. Nuts can be high in fat, though, so don't overindulge!
• Dark chocolate; cocoa has antioxidants, and the more antioxidants you ingest, the better your skin will look. So now we have a valid excuse for eating chocolate! Mmm, chocolate.
• Strawberries and blueberries; these are great for your skin because they have vitamin C, which is a big antioxidant. They also help fight skin cancer.
• Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, which helps your skin shed old cells and keeps you fresh and glowing.
