Carrots Carrots are good not only for your eyes, but also for your skin. They are especially good for clearing up breakouts. Carrots are rich in vitamin A and they help prevent the overproduction of cells in the outer layer of the skin. That’s where excess sebum combines with dead cells and clogs pores.Another great reason to snack on some carrots is because Vitamin A reduces the development of skin-cancer cellsYou don’t have to eat all these foods every day, but even some of them would be great!
