Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Wan
In autumn, the weather tends to be dry; therefore, it is advisable to consume foods with nourishing-yin and moistening-drying properties to help improve skin condition. Examples include goji-bilberry and tremella soup, fritillary-bulb-stewed pear, and goji-lemon water. These foods help nourish yin fluids, moisten dryness, nourish the lungs and kidneys, promote the production of body fluids, and relieve thirst—thereby helping, to some extent, alleviate dry skin.
