To really beat winter's harsh effects, tackle them from the inside out by eating these skin-boosting foods. The nutrients in these foods can be as good for your skin as they are for your health.

Soybeans
These little legumes are like nature's nip and tuck. They're protein-rich, to help skin stay firm.

Papaya
The tropical fruit is high in vitamin C, one of the most potent antioxidants for protecting skin from damage that leads to wrinkles.

Sweet potatoes
These are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps skin shed dead cells.

Almonds
They're packed with vitamin E, an antioxidant that can aid in fighting skin-aging free radicals.

Salmon
It's a top source of niacin, a B vitamin that keeps skin cells healthy, and selenium, an antioxidant that helps protect your skin from sun damage.
