Brightly colored berries contain antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals that can damage the DNA of healthy skin cells. Blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any food — and new research has found a link between the antioxidants in these berries and decreased incidence of UV damage.






This delicious parfait offers an easy way to load up on antioxidants, as well as the omega-3s in flaxseed and walnuts, another important skin nutrient.
