What you eat can have a huge impact on your skin. Nutrients like vitamin A and E can boost collagen production and help smooth away wrinkles. At the same time, overindulging in processed foods and sugary treats can actually interfere with collagen production, making you look older than you feel.

Follow these tips to enjoy the holiday season while avoiding overindulging on holiday goodies. 
## 1. Keep Treats Out of Sight
Gifts for your children aren’t the only thing you should hide this year. To avoid temptation, put your holiday treats in the cupboard rather than leaving them on the counter. You can avoid absent-minded snacking or midday sugar cravings by keeping your holiday baking out of sight and out of mind. Your skin will thank you if you avoid the holiday sugar spike.
## 2. Spice Up Your Snacks
If you want to indulge in the taste of the season without all the sugar, try spicing up your favorite healthy snacks. Take your everyday snacks and transform them into a holiday treat. For example, you can add apples, cinnamon, and almond slivers to your Greek yogurt for the perfect healthy holiday snack, or try sprinkling cinnamon in your hot drink.
## 3. Reach for No-Sugar Beverages 
Do you crave sugary drinks at this time of year? One easy way to avoid overindulging during the holidays is to reach for low-sugar drinks. Try a sparkling cranberry water or an apple ginger punch to enjoy the taste of the season without all the extra sugar. Cutting out sugary beverages can make all the difference for your skin. 
## 4. Buy Treats Your Family Loves
Do you overstock the pantry during the holidays? One way to avoid extra snacking is to buy your favorite treats in moderation, and stock up on treats your family loves. You may not be tempted to reach for treats you don’t like, and you can avoid snacking on holiday goodies during the day. Save your snacking for holiday foods you love and enjoy healthier skin. 
## 5. Practice Mindful Eating
The holidays only happen once per year, so savor every bite. During the festive season, avoid multitasking while you eat, and focus on enjoying your food. Distracted eating can lead to extra calories that you don’t even get to enjoy. To make the most of your holiday meals and holiday goodies, practice mindful eating. Reduce distractions during meals and sit down to savor every snack. Mindful eating also lets you recognize when you’re feeling full and helps you eat the perfect amount.
