We’ve all heard about the 8/8 rule (eight 8oz. glasses of water per day) and its importance in creating healthy looking skin. But doesn’t all that water just make us go to the bathroom more?

Not only will you increase your water intake, but you’ll also reap all the nutritional benefits these foods provide.

These essential fatty acids also help to keep your skin healthy, maintain its natural oil barrier and make it look younger (less wrinkly) and clearer. Other sources of "good fats" are olive oil and avocados.
