may be a perfect reflection of
your inner health. According
to Dr. Michelle Yagoda,
NYC facial plastic surgeon,
aesthetic integrative beauty
expert and co-creator of
BeautyScoop, "Foods rich in
lean proteins and omega-3
fatty acids are especially
effective at delivering
smoother skin. They aid the
skin in retaining moisture and
fortify the skin's natural
moisture barrier."
Yagoda says a diet with
ample beauty super foods can
enhance skin texture,
hydration, firmness and
smoothness. She suggests a
diet of foods rich in:
1. Lean protein (salmon,
tofu, soy, sardines)
2. Omega-3 fatty acids
(almonds, salmon,
sardines, walnuts, flax
seed)
3. Antioxidants for rapid
skin repair like vitamins
A, C and E (carrots,
JOY FEELINGS MAG
sweet potatoes, butternut
squash, berries)
4. Minerals like
magnesium and zinc,
which facilitate
hyaluronic acid
production to provide
unsurpassed skin
hydration (soy, kale,
carrots, pumpkin seeds,
whole grains)

version of a healthy diet for
glowing skin, at the very

favorite clear skin tip.
Vargas, celebrity facialist and
founder of Joanna Vargas
Salon and Skincare
Collection, says, "Drink a
green juice every day. It will
be a great replacement to
your afternoon coffee, and it
will literally transform your
skin in a matter of days. It
helps oxygenate the skin and
stimulates lymphatic
drainage, so it's de-puffing
too!"
