Fantasizing about getting a facelift? Try eating 16 ounces of salmon weekly, instead. “Salmon is rich in DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), a chemical that nourishes the nerves and strengthens the muscles that hold up your skin,” says Nicholas Perricone, M.D., an adjunct professor of medicine at Michigan State University. “Eat a few ounces daily, and you’ll have noticeably better muscle tone in your face and neck in as little as two weeks!” All types of fish contain omega-3 fatty acids, essential fats that rebuild your skin’s protective lipid layer, helping to hold in moisture, keep out germs and speed healing of nicks and blemishes. Getting a steady trickle of omega-3s in their diet resulted in softer, smoother and more supple skin for up to 68 percent of women studied, say Yale researchers.
Try it: Serve up 16 ounces of fish weekly.
