Everyone wants to know how to have healthy looking skin and it is just a matter of eating the right food and having healthier habits and lifestyle. It also depends on the type of your skin. This is important because your skin says alot about your health and may be about your personality. It is also an important part of your beauty.

You may already know some of the tips to have a healthier skin like having enough sleep during the night and drinking enough water. About 7-8 glasses of water per day is good enough to keep your skin well hydrated. This is important for the vitality of the skin.

Avoid smoking! I'm sure you already know this one but of course, I had to say it. Together with its other dangerous effects on your body, the effect of smoking is reflected badly on your skin and will make it age earlier.

Eat enough proteins (meat, chicken, eggs milk), fresh fruits and vegetable and less fatty and sugary foods. Don't forget essential fatty acids which are present in  flaxeed oil or walnut (can be used as salad dresings), salmon and sardines.

Skin care tips for the oily skin:
