5 foods that can damage your skin texture

Let’s admit it- we all want flawless skin. Apart from excellent genes, it requires extra care to maintain that head-turning beauty. But not many of us know that our eating habits are directly linked to the skin type we have. A few foods that we think are healthy may create havoc on our skin. Here we have given a list of foods that have the ability to damage your skin.

Salt: Too much salt can cause puffiness on the face. As the skin around our eyes is too delicate and thin, excess consumption of salt can lead to swelling around this area. According to The National Heart Lung and Blood Association, 500 mg is a safe daily minimum intake of sodium.

Dairy products: We get a number of health benefits from dairy products. But having them in excess can lead to puffy eyelids, under eye bags, blackheads, spots, acne and wrinkles on the bridge of nose. According to a study, there is a link between higher milk consumption and acne. It was also found that higher amount of bioavailable hormones in skimmed milk, caused acne on face. Weight watchers are recommended to drink about three glasses of skimmed milk a day and one or more portions of low-fat yoghurt or low-fat cottage cheese.
