| | 1 / 5 Taking care of your skin goes way beyond the creams and lotions you religiously apply on your skin everyday. Make sure you get enough of these complexion-boosting nutrients in your diet, say experts.
Fight skin-aging
Vitamin C and E are powerful anti-oxidants that help reduce the skin-damaging effects of free radicals from sunlight, pollution and smoke. Free radicals compromise skin's structure -- collagen and elastin -- leading to loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Vitamin C also helps soothe inflammation and heal wounds.
Good sources of vitamin C include fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. Vitamin E-rich foods are nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and spinach.
