Hello Catherine,

Thank you for contacting me with your question and high praises to you for deciding to make your food choices a part of your healthy skin treatment. I'm going to answer your question very thoroughly so that you have every option to choose from. These food choices will then have a tremendous impact on your skin health and over time, rebuild your skins internal structure to a healthy and strong state.

Water: Drinking a minimum of 8 to 10 glasses of water a day will show positive results on your skin.

Omega-3s: Healthy omega-3 fatty acids help maintain cell membranes so that they are effective barriers--allowing water and nutrients in and keeping toxins out. Omega-3s also seem to protect skin against sun damage. Good food sources include oily fish, sardines, Pacific oysters, lake trout, flaxseeds, walnuts and eggs.

Grains: Instead of refined carbs, eat more whole-grain carbs, which don't cause the blood sugar spikes that lead to the glycation (sugar breaking down) of skin proteins that accelerates dryness.

Vitamin C: It's involved in collagen production and protects cells from free radical damage. Good sources include peppers (red/green/yellow), oranges, strawberries, lemons and broccoli.

Vitamin E: This vitamin helps protect cell membranes and guards against UV radiation damage. I recommend eating wheat germ, avocado, fortified cereals, nuts and seeds.

Beta carotene: Beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) is involved in the growth and repair of skin tissue and protects against sun damage. You can get ample beta carotene from foods like sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, mangoes and apricots is entirely safe and great for your skin.

Selenium: This helps safeguard the skin from sun damage and dryness by protecting skin quality and elasticity. Food sources include Brazil nuts, tuna (canned light in water), crab and wheat germ.

Glucosamine: Available as a dietary supplement, it increases hyaluronic acid levels, which helps skin hold onto water and gives it plumpness.

What can actually damage your skin?

Sugar: Sugar can be very detrimental to your skin. It increases acne and may speed dryness by causing glycation--the result of sugar breaking down and bonding with protein molecules. This reduces the elasticity of the collagen and leads to tougher, dry skin.

Greasy foods: Foods that are high in saturated and trans fats have been shown to damage skin.

I would also recommend talking to your parents about taking a break from hydrocortizone use and trying some our face and body creams that naturally take care of such conditions as your eczema. Invite them to explore our website to read why they work so quickly.

Please keep me posted on what's happening Catherine and until then....take the best of care!

Warm Regards,
Nanette
