Fatty Fish

A lot of people with occasional skin issues stay away from fatty foods. And while that line of thinking may hold true for some foods, fatty fish, especially sardines and salmon are especially good for your skin because they contain good fats, specifically omega-3 fatty acids. Research suggests that these acids can help combat the effects of sun exposure as well as support healthy inflammation markers, while keeping the skin more resilient to the effects of environmental exposure. 

Walnuts

If you’re a vegan or vegetarian, we’ve got great news for you: walnuts can provide some of the same benefits of fatty fish in a meatless form. That’s because walnuts can boast some of the most potent forms of omega-3 fatty acids in the nut world. Plus, they’re a lot easier to snack on during the day than grilling up some salmon or popping open a can of sardines. This is great news because most researchers agree that around 98% of the population is omega-3 deficient.
