5 Skin Nourishing Foods for the Lazy Dude


 

As the saying goes, “You are what you eat,” so you can’t just devour junk food and expect to have great looking skin. I also realize guys dont want to go waste a bunch of money on skincare products so  you can put your best face forward with a better diet and here’s how:

Food #1: Avocados
This creamy, green fruit is abundant in essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin, inside and out.

Food #2:Almonds
Almonds are great for your complexion by providing 150% of your daily need for Vitamin E. The rich oils in Vitamin E moisturize skin while fighting skin damage and signs of early aging. Almonds are also a great source of protein for you buff guys.

Food #3: Mangoes
Mangoes have more than 80% of your daily requirements for vitamin A, which is why they’re such a great face food. Vitamin A repairs skin cells, and also works as an antioxidant that fights damage that can prematurely age your skin.

Food #4: Oysters
Whether they’re an aphrodisiac or not, oysters are a love fest for skin. They fight pimples because they’re rich in zinc. The mineral affects sebum production, a deficiency may contribute to acne.

Food #5: Baked Potatoes
Set aside the greasy French fries. Eat one baked potato (with the skin) to get 75% of your daily copper need. Too little copper in your diet can reduce your skin’s ability to heal and cause it to become rigid and lifeless.
