What to eat to make your skin smoother

The water content of human tissue fluid is 72%, and the water content of an adult's body is 58%-67%. When the body loses water, the skin becomes dry and the secretion of sebaceous glands decreases, causing the skin to lose elasticity and even develop wrinkles. In order to ensure water intake, girls drink about 1200 ml of water every day.

Eat foods rich in vitamin E regularly

Vitamin E plays an important role in preventing skin aging and keeping the skin delicate and smooth. Japanese scholars have discovered that vitamin E plays an important role in anti-aging of the skin, because vitamin E can destroy the activity of free radicals, remove free radicals in the body, and thus inhibit aging; vitamin E also has the effect of preventing lipofuscin from depositing on the skin. Scientists have discovered that the production of lipofuscin is related to lipid oxidation, and vitamin E can prevent lipid oxidation. Foods such as cabbage, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil contain a certain amount of vitamin E.

Eat more iron-rich foods

To keep the skin shiny and rosy, it needs sufficient blood supply. Iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin in the blood. You should eat more foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, egg yolk, kelp, seaweed, etc.

Increase your intake of foods rich in collagen and elastin

Collagen can make cells plump, thereby filling the skin and reducing wrinkles, and elastin can increase the elasticity of a person's skin, thereby making the skin smooth and elastic. Foods rich in collagen and elastin include pig's trotters, animal tendons and pig skin.

Be mindful of your intake of alkaline foods

The fish, meat, eggs, grains, etc. that we eat in daily life are all physiologically acidic. Heavy acidic foods will increase the levels of lactic acid and uric acid in body fluids and blood... When organic acids cannot be excreted from the body in time, they will erode sensitive epidermal cells and cause the skin to lose its fineness and elasticity. Therefore, eat some physiological alkaline foods, such as apples, pears and vegetables.

In addition to the above tips, the skin should be protected from external stimulation. The scorching sun in summer and the cold wind in winter will make the skin rough, so protective measures should be taken in time. Do not wash your skin too frequently, avoid contact with acidic or alkaline substances, choose appropriate cosmetics and cleansing products according to your skin, and massage appropriately.
