8 Thanksgiving Foods Your Skin Will Love, Too

1. Pumpkin

This vibrant veggie is rich in vitamins E, A, and C, which are all essential for maintaining the health of your skin. These vitamins help to soothe and hydrate, keeping your skin soft and supple long term. 

2. Cranberries

Cranberries are so much more than just a side dish. These tart, little berries are chock-full of antioxidants, including vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and helps protect your skin from oxidative stress.

3. Apples

An apple pie or a crisp might be in your Thanksgiving dessert spread, but apples are also loaded with vitamin C and fiber, which can help improve your skin's texture and keep it glowing.

4. Wine

Red wine contains resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in grape skins that can help protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.

5. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, but it’s time to work them into your skincare routine, too. Here’s why: They're packed with beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, a powerhouse for skin health.

6. Turmeric

Turmeric is not only a favorite spice for festive fall dishes and even turmeric lattes, but it's also a skincare superstar. Turmeric’s glowing reputation is thanks to curcumin, a chemical compound that has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

7. Honey

Honey has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for centuries to help heal wounds and other ailments, but honey can heal more than cuts and sore throats: it's nourishing and soothing for dry and sensitive skin, too.

8. Oats

While oats may be a controversial Thanksgiving ingredient (we’re big fans of an oatmeal cookie during the holidays, but to each their own), its skincare benefits are rock solid.
