We all want our skin to be healthy and blemish free. Sun, food, and other free radicals keeps us from achieving the skin we want. We all think of the sun as our enemy (well, almost because of the UV rays and the scorching heat) but do we also know that the food we eat may also have some relation in keeping our skin blemish free?

We need to check if our food is organic to avoid allergies, skin irritations and breakouts due to the toxins. Here are a few of “good” food list and keep them posted on top of your fridge:
GO for GOOD Food:
• Onions
• Corn
• Pineapple

• Cabbage
• Watermelon
• Sweet Potatoes
• Grapefruit
• Mushroom
