TikTok user Nick Diller has shared his best recommendations for glowing and youthful skin, starting with a healthy diet.
The nutrition coach is on a mission to help busy professionals look 10 years younger with the help of lifestyle changes, sharing his knowledge on TikTok.
“What you eat has a direct impact on how your skin looks and feels,” he said.
Diller was quick to point out that skin constantly renews itself.
“Your skin replaces itself every 30 to 45 days,” he said.
The health enthusiast highlighted the top factors that negatively affect skin — inflammation, oxidative stress, and dryness.
“By eating foods that combat those 3 things, the better your skin will look,” he said.
Diller’s first tip is to prioritize foods with omega-3 fatty acid, including salmon, herring, oysters, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
“These are great at controlling inflammation and keeping collagen in the skin,” he said.

The TikToker also recommended foods rich in lycopene, including tomatoes, watermelons, grapefruits, and papayas.
“Lycopene is great for keeping your skin smooth,” he noted.
His third tip included wrinkle-fighting foods high in vitamin C, like citrus fruits, bell peppers, strawberries, kiwis, and broccoli.
Diller also suggested foods high in vitamin E, like sunflower seeds, almonds, avocados, spinach, and squash, “which helps prevent cell damage in the skin.”
The nutrition expert’s final recommendation is to incorporate polyphenols into a healthy diet, “which is an antioxidant that fights inflammation and oxidative stress.”
Foods brimming with polyphenols include dark chocolate, berries, olive oil, green tea, coffee, and grapes.
Commenters were quick to point out their own tips and tricks.
One user commented: “Make sure to cleanse, moisturize, and wear sunscreen every single day everyone!”
Another use wrote: “I believe you. I always eat most of these and a lot of water and use quality skincare products.”
