When Winter comes, dry skin comes along with it. Since there's less humidity is the air, my skin gets so uncomfortable and itchy. Besides using a rich moisturizer, turning down the heat, and using a humidifier, eating these foods can also help improve dry skin.

1. Foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids: salmon, flaxseed, tuna, avocado, nuts
2. Foods that contain zinc: oysters, crab, beef, and beans. Zinc helps heal wounds.
3. Foods rich in sulfur: garlic, onions, and eggs. They help to keep your skin smooth.
4. Water. Not sure how much you need? Then check out Fit's Calculator.
5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These diuretics will suck your skin dry.
