Does what I eat have an impact on the condition of my complexion?
Yes, it does. In essence, you are what you eat. Nowadays we realize that antioxidants are present in many foods and are the best source for them (rather than taking vitamin supplements). Evidence shows that vitamin supplements may, in effect, be harmful (as opposed to naturally occurring antioxidants). Foods that contain large quantities of antioxidants include green and yellow vegetables. Green tea has a large antioxidant content as well, and may help to explain the beautiful complexions of Japanese women. Also, diets high in fats are sometimes associated with increased skin cancer or at least pre-malignant skin lesions.
