Reduce sugar intake and take more of antioxidants

Free radicals cause sicknesses for us. But these free radicals can be arrested by antioxidants.
The benefits of antioxidants on the skin work only when ingested internally. From within, these antioxidants work to limit the production of free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the skin cells.

Antioxidants can be abundantly found in green tea and fruits such as kiwi and grapes. Other sources are dark chocolate, coffee and red wine. In a study, the epitachen and catechin in high-flavanol cocoa are found to significantly reduce skin roughness and scaliness. Flavanol, also found in avocado, improves blood flow and hydration.

Cut down on your intake of refined sugar from high-gyclemic foods. Too much insulin causes inflammation, which in turn, produces enzymes that break down elastin and collagen. Leading to scaling and roughness of skin.
