Instead of squeezing pimples, eat Brazil nuts! Acne and pimples are blamed on heredity and hormones, but the right diet can make a huge difference and clear up your facial skin.
Brazil nuts contain a lot of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps with acne and spots. Selenium protects the skin cells from inflammatory damage and preserves the skin's elasticity. Selenium works particularly well together with vitamins A and E, which is why Brazil nuts are best eaten together with almonds and red peppers.
Just one Brazil nut a day contains the recommended amount of selenium. Other rich sources of selenium are fish, onions, garlic and wholemeal products.
