Dermatologists Say These Are The Best (And Worst) Foods For Your Skin

For Sensitive Skin, Resort To Seeds

Seeds are rich in fatty oils and vitamins that benefit skin health. During a 2011 study, participants took flaxseed oil supplements for twelve weeks and experienced smoother skin, less sensitivity, and increased hydration.

According to DermatoEndocrinology, seeds contain high amounts of vitamin E. This vitamin keeps your skin’s proteins (collagen) strong, which prevents aging. Seeds with vitamin E include sunflowers, safflower, and flax. Dr. Janet Vafaie, a dermatologist and member of the American Academy of Dermatology, adds chia seeds to her smoothies for skin-repairing antioxidants.
