Dietary Tips for Radiant Skin
Staring at your face in a high magnifying mirror can be intimidating and often leads to an obsession of finding flaws, such as age spots, crows feet and wrinkles.

Dry and itchy skin can become frustrating, especially when none of the products you use are as effective as they claim to be.

What if the key to glowing and radiant skin was eating certain foods?

One key essential to incorporate in your diet is eating the "good" kind of fats into your diet. Avocados contain monounsaturated fatty acids that not only help lower cholesterol, but also contain anti-aging antioxidants.

Your skin will shed over 35,000 cells every minute of every day; and since a new layer is continually revealed, having enough healthy fats is essential to helping your skin from becoming dry.

Nutritionist and health educator Cynthia Sass, MPH, MA, shares important dietary tips to help you have radiant and healthy skin.
