Everyone yearns for clear skin without having to rely on tons of products just like they’ve walked out of a skincare commercial. Unfortunately, it’s not possible, so we try any product that claims to help us get a flawless complexion. Even though wearing sunscreen daily and regularly moisturizing and exfoliating is an important part of our skincare regimens many of us often forget how diet can affect the skin. Certain foods contain antioxidants, vitamins, and other essential nutrients that help to keep the skin clear. Take a look at the infographic below to know about the important role vitamins play in skin health.
