If we weren't obsessed with beautiful and radiant looking skin, do you think we'd have as many skincare products in the market? No, right? Well, we do love to look young and gorgeous all the time and honestly, no one can blame us for that. So, while you could opt for all the right products in the world, sometimes what you actually need are the right kind of foods. Yep, when you eat right, your skin stays right too.

What we're trying to say is that if you eat the right kind of foods, it could potentially slow down the signs of ageing on your skin. That means there'll be fewer spots, blemishes, wrinkles, fine lines and so on, on your skin. Isn't that great? So, if you're wondering what kind of foods you can incorporate into your diet to have amazing-looking skin, here are some foods you can opt for.

Yoghurt: The best thing about yoghurt isn't even how nutritious it is but how amazing it tastes. Packed with protein, phosphorus, riboflavin, Vitamin B12, and calcium, yoghurt can actually work wonders for your skin too. Plus, it has tons of good bacteria that can aid your digestion and help flush out toxins from your body. Team it with some fruits for added flavour and you're bound to love eating it.

Carrots: Although you may prefer carrots in the more traditional 'gajar ka halwa' style, chomping on them in their raw form is actually how they work best for you. Loaded with antioxidants, minerals and beta-carotene, carrots are known for their ability to help add glow to the skin and help make it more firm and smooth.

Extra virgin olive oil: There's a reason why dietitians are so obsessed with olive oil. Packed with monounsaturated fat, polyphenols, phytonutrients and Vitamin E, olive oil has the ability to prevent premature signs of ageing.

Tomatoes: Often used vastly in the Indian cuisine, tomatoes are rich in Lycopene which is a pigment that can get rid of dead skin cells from your skin and can give you a more radiant and beautiful glow. You can easily turn them into a salad and consume them on a daily basis.

Well, if you're looking for gorgeous skin, we suggest you incorporate these foods into your diet STAT and you'll see the difference in no time. Stay tuned for more updates.
