4. Cottage Cheese



Dairy is good for your bones and face. But it's the selenium in cottage cheese, not the calcium, that makes us wild for the creamy curds. Selenium, an essential mineral, teams up with vitamin E as a powerful free radical-fighting antioxidant duo. Plus, it'll protect against skin cancer and fight dandruff.

5. Acerola Cherries



Your average cherry doesn't supply a lot of vitamin C, but that's not true for Acerolas. One of these cherries supplies 100% of your daily allowance for vitamin C, which is great news for your skin. As an antioxidant, vitamin C fights skin damage and wrinkles. It also plays a central role in the production of collagen, the structural protein in your skin.

6. Oysters



Whether they're an aphrodisiac or not, oysters are a love fest for skin. They fight pimples because they're rich in zinc. The mineral affects sebum production, a deficiency may contribute to acne. Zinc also helps boost elastin ( the skin's elastic protein ) production with the help of vitamin C.

7. Baked Potatoes



A plump, steaming baked potato is good for your skin. Eat one baked potato (with the skin) to get 75% of your daily copper need. This essential mineral works with vitamin C and zinc to produce the elastin fibers that support skin structure. Too little copper in your diet can reduce your skin's ability to heal and cause it to become rigid and lifeless.
