Tomatoes are full of lycopene. Lycopene helps eliminate skin aging free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays and protecting against sun damage.
2. Mangoes, papaya, and apricots
If you have a washed out look, load up on fruit. These fruits are full of pigments called carotenoids, which are stored in the layer of fat directly beneath the skin and can improve color.
3. Cocoa Powder
Flavonals, the antioxidants in dark chocolate can reduce roughness in skin and protect agains sun damage. Just a few ounces a day is sufficient.
4. Flaxseeds
They are packed with omega 3 fatty acids which erase spots and smooth fine lines.
5. Sweet Potatoes
They are full of vitamin C, which smooths wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen.
6. Mussels
If you are not getting enough iron, your skin will turn pale and pasty. The solution is iron rich foods.
7. Spinach
It may protect yourself against skin cancer. The folate in spinach helps maintain and repair DNA, reducing the likelihood of cancer cell growth.
8. Canned tuna
It's packed with selenium, a nutrient that preserves elastin, which keeps skin smooth and tight.
9. Safflower Oil
If you have dry, flaky or itchy skin this cooking oil doubles as a moisturizer.

Hello friends, I wanted to share with you a fun and easy recipe for Ambrosia Salad. We had friends over during the summer for a BBQ and they brought with them this salad. My recipe is a little different from what we had, and it's so good and it reminds me of the dessert my mom used to serve our family when I was little.
With the holidays approaching soon this would make a perfect dessert to serve.
Thanks everyone and enjoy.

Ambrosia Salad
10.5 oz. bag mini marshmallows
8 oz. container light sour cream
15 oz. can fruit cocktail
15 oz. can peach halves
Gently toss all the ingredients together and cover salad and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Here are some suggestions that you may like to add or change to this recipe:
flaked coconut

This is a recipe that grown ups and children will love and they can even help you make this.
