Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories really are the fountain of youth, says dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, author of "The Perricone Prescription" and "The Wrinkle Cure." You need antioxidants to keep that skin of yours looking beautiful. Anti-inflammatories do just what the name implies: They fight inflammation, inside and out, and also help to keep wrinkles at bay for another day, Perricone says.
Blueberries
Blueberries are touted as one of the best sources of antioxidants out there. And they have a huge side benefit: They are indescribably delicious when they are in season, from July through September.
Strawberries
Strawberries are filled with vitamin C, and guess what loves that? Your skin. So these wonderful berries, so good on cereal and ice cream, not to mention strawberry shortcake, keep your skin looking its best while you say "yummy.
Apples
Don't peel these babies! You probably heard that from your mother, and she was right on target. The skin of the apple contains quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that protects against skin cancer. Apples also are a good source of fiber, meaning you feel full for hours after eating one.
