The saying "you are what you eat" holds true when it comes to skincare. If your skin is dull, dry, blemished, or shows signs of aging, you can renew its tone, elasticity, and appearance with good-for-you superfoods. Add these seven foods to your diet, as well as your skincare regime, to get great skin.

Seven Foods to Eat For Gorgeous Skin

1. Pumpkin seeds - If you've got flaky skin, dry skin, or acne, pumpkin seeds contain a secret skin-healing ingredient that's hard to find: zinc. Pumpkin seeds also contain biotin, which improves hair and skin, and super-beneficial omega acids.

2. Oatmeal - Not only is oatmeal a good-for-you breakfast, it's good for your skin. Oats improve your gut health by boosting your digestion. When your digestive system is working properly, your body eliminates toxins that could pollute your skin (think blemishes or rashes), leaving you with a radiant complexion.

3. Avocado - Loaded with good fat and vitamin E, avocado makes skin super moist and soft. Vitamin E nourishes skin cells, promoting natural repair. Vitamin E also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. If you have dry skin, you need this. Omega oils, the good fat found in avocado, promote collagen growth, so skin remains elastic and wrinkle-free.

4. Cinnamon - Not only is cinnamon a perfect oatmeal topper, the spice increases blood flow and circulation, giving dull skin a makeover from the inside out. By boosting nutrients, oxygen, and circulation, you get naturally radiant, glowing skin.

5. Turmeric - This deep orange spice is the it superfood of the moment for chefs as well as dermatologists. Turmeric has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. The spice increases skin elasticity, reduces a dull complexion, and minimizes wrinkles and fine lines. Turmeric absorbs more with the aid of black pepper, so add a few pepper flakes to your DIY mask or your turmeric-loaded stir fry to get the most benefits.

6. Citrus - To banish dark spots, load up on skincare products that contain citrus and eat plenty of grapefruits and oranges. Dark spots occur when your skin gets UV exposure. By eating citrus -- and applying it to your skin -- you'll see allover brightness, a more even skin tone, and a natural glow.

7. Miso - Anything with probiotics is a darling of the skincare industry right now. Probiotics are packed with beneficial bacteria that combat acne and puffy skin. Fermented foods like miso also reduce eczema and rosacea flare-ups. Order miso soup or prepare a miso salad dressing to get in your daily dose of revitalizing probiotics.
