We all know that eating right can have major benefits on the body, especially your skin! Find out which foods are most worthwhile in building collagen and elastin, keeping your skin firmer, tighter and wrinkle free for longer. Eating well is the best kind of skin care - Skin care from the inside out!

The dermis layer of your skin in composed of elastin and collagen which are responsible for the elasticity and resilience of your skin. As you get older your collagen fibers stiffen and the elastin in your skin becomes thicker and loses elasticity.

Eating quality protein food daily like fish, sardines, skinless chicken, eggs, salmon, trout, nuts, seeds and beans can help fight extensive skin wrinkling as these foods contain a lot of the amino acid glycine which makes up more than 1/3 of collagen.

Keep in mind that iron, zinc, vitamin C and manganese are also needed for collagen formation so please stock up and eat as many bright colored fruit and vegetables as you can.

Eat lots of protein rich food like eggs, salmon and legumes for tighter and firmer skin.
