Carrots
Carrots can help with dry skin which is particularly useful during the cold weather.
Doctors continued: “Packed with vitamin A, carrots contribute significantly to skin health by aiding in cell turnover and preventing dryness, so it’s perfect timing to incorporate carrots into your diet to help your skin battle the colder winter months.”
Blueberries
Blueberries can support the production of collagen, the experts said. Collagen increases the elasticity of skin which can make it appear younger.
The doctors said: “Blueberries are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that can help boost the strength of collagen fibres in our skin in order to give it a healthy glow.”
