You might be wondering why the ingredients list on so many of your favorite skin care and beauty products are looking more like the foods you find on the shelves of your local grocery store. According to nutrition and skin care experts, it's a sign that the beauty industry is becoming more natural. "Normally the way we consume vitamins and minerals is through food, so it only makes sense that these would be beneficial in our beauty products too," explains registered dietitian, Paige Bente. Still, she points out that no amount of vitamins in any skin cream or foundation is going to make up for a diet that's lacking in vitamins.

"While there are a variety of foods we eat throughout the year that are wonderful for our skin, autumn foods are particularly high in vitamins and minerals that are good for our complexion," Bente says. This is good news for those who are fans of everything from pumpkin and apples to turkey and kale, as many of these beloved fall foods arm our skin with all the right nutrients. Here are the top foods of the season for scoring clear, glowing and hydrated skin.
