While we are focusing so much on the products that we use on our faces, it might be a idea to put more focus on the foods that we eat. They won't just keep us healthy and strong for longer, but if we eat the right foods, we might also keep looking our best.

Avocados.
These fruits don't just taste amazing but they also contain a fatty alcohol that will fight inflammation, protect your skin from the sun and help repair damaged DNA. If that's not enough reason to get yourself some avocado, I don't know what is.
