Smooth your skin

For smoother skin, fill up on these
- Canned light tuna.  This kitchen staple is packed with selenium, an antioxidant  that  protects skin cells  against sun damage.
-Dark Chocolate. Research shows that women who consumed a daily drink containing 2 tablespoons of high flavonoid cocoa powder for 12 weeks had skin that was significantly smoother and retained more moisture.. You can obtain the same effect with a daily ounce of high flavanoid dark chocolate.
- Black  tea with citrus peel. Tea drinkers enjoy half the risk of skin cancer - especially if they sip two of more cups each day.  The polyphenols in tea may help proect  against high UV radiaation.
Brew tea with citrus peel to boost its anticancer powers even more.
- Carrot juice . one cup of carrots juice is equal to 1 pound of carrots and it provides 22 mg of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that several studies show can help protect skin against sunburn.  The more you drink, the more protection you build up.
