Fruits with a blue or purple hue are some of the best foods that are good for your skin. That includes blueberries, plums and blackberries. That’s because they’re chock full of antioxidants, which are plant compounds that fight free radical damage. Free radicals come from chemicals in the environment, as well as a poor diet. Purple and blue fruits can counteract the damage they cause, which can keep you from experiencing the cellular changes that lead to skin cancer.

Hooray, right? Despite what you’ve heard about chocolate causing acne, it’s actually good for your skin, provided you choose the dark kind that is at least 70 percent cacao. When that’s the case, chocolate boosts flavonol intake, which translates to firm, glowing skin. Just don’t overdo it. Chocolate still has calories.

Yogurt makes a great snack so you’ll be happy to discover that it’s also really good for your skin. The protein in yogurt helps keep your skin firm, which can combat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Watch for fruity versions, which are often very high in sugar. Opt for plain Greek yogurt and top it with fresh fruit for a hit of natural sweetness you won’t be able to resist.

4. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are another great source of antioxidants, specifically lycopene. This is a nutrient that helps boost skin health and protects pigmentation. Tomatoes are the best source, which is good news because they are super versatile. Eat them in a salad or put them on a sandwich. Cooking the tomatoes boosts the lycopene content, so don’t be afraid to eat marinara and pizza sauce too.

5. Flax Seeds

These little seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which play a role in controlling the appearance of fine lines and age spots.
