The variety of fruits and veg to choose from helps.

I can't underestimate the importance of water in your diet; many dermatologists say that you should be drinking the number of ounces equal to half of your body weight. Shocked? I was. But I've greatly increased my water intake. My skin looks far better and I'm losing weight without trying!

These are great tips. I already drink plenty of green tea and eat almonds, fruits and veggies and I can see a difference in my complexion when I don't consume these as often as I should.

I take a lot of these, but don't necessarily feel that I look younger for it. I do it for the health benefits though!

Good tips. I take tons of vitamins, as the US RDA recommendations are insufficient. Especially for women.

I agree with the advice for the vitamin C. Good article.

Great info! When I eat more E and C, my skin really shows a difference after a couple of weeks. (Much brighter and more "awake" looking.)
