Garlic has been used for just about everything from cooking to skincare to heart care.  I have used it in quite a bit of cooking, and apparently it helps to keep the arteries more clear and otherwise help you to get blood flowing for greater heart health in general.  It is high in a common element known as allicin, which is the part that is really the powerful antioxidant that can be good for your heart.  But as an antioxidant, it can also be really good for your skin, killing off free radicals and otherwise helping you to achieve significantly greater results. 

But what you might not expect is that garlic is also a rich source of skin healthy essential vitamin C.  This makes it especially good for again fighting off free radicals while nourishing your skin with this essential vitamin that it can sometimes be deficient in or can benefit from in even more excessive amounts.  But the basic line is that garlic all in all can be extremely healthy for the body and skin and in general terms is not to be ignored so easily.  You definitely wouldn’t find anything better for killing off acne causing bacteria among other things.
