In fact our diet is one of the great anti-aging secrets to retaining or regaining beautiful skin. It's all based on the basic principal that building and protecting collagen through the foods we eat is the foundation to healthy, youthful looking skin; as we increase collagen, wrinkles begin to fade and skin regains its elasticity.Dealing with faces every day as I have for many years, it is easy to see when skin has been deprived of nutrients. So whenever I recommend a skin solution I keep in mind that one of the most effective ways to protect and preserve our skin at any age involves eating the right skin renewing foods.Many of the natural foods we eat hold age-defying vitamins and minerals that are essential to give the skin radiance, while supporting, hydrating and maintaining the health of the skin. They are also the key to building collagen.You may ask why building collagen is so important. Simply because collagen is the protein in connective tissue that keeps the skin elastic. However, the fibres in these tissues can become weak and damaged through free radicals, which impact our skin both inside and out as a result of different lifestyle elements such as bad food, sun damage, smoking, pollution, excess alcohol, and the list goes on!However, collagen cannot be absorbed from a beauty cream as the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin's cells. This means the most effective solution is either topically applying the right ingredients (see Face Value), or eating foods full of skin regenerating vitamins and minerals that naturally renew, stimulate and protect collagen.The quick and easy recipes in this book are power packed with skin building ingredients to help your skin be the best it can be.For me cooking is not only a wonderful reminder that sharing food with those we love nurtures their health and skin from the inside out, but that the true essence of our beauty is in sharing the spirit of our humanity.Gregory Landsman
