You shouldn't feel guilty if you splurge a little on a daily iced coffee to cool down from the heat since Gorin says coffee may help decrease your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. "The caffeine and polyphenols in coffee may provide some protective benefits to skin cancers caused by UVB rays," she explains. Though you probably want to shy away from too much milk since dairy can be problematic with acne for some, go ahead and take it black—and reap the benefits.

Of all the drinks or foods you can consume to maintain a vibrant balance in your skin tone and complexion, Gorin says nothing quite compares to water. When you're hydrated, your skin is dewy, fresh and clear, but when you're lacking the aqua your body needs, your skin may look tired, dry and frazzled. In addition to lugging around a water bottle to make it easy to hydrate, Gorin says the summer is a great time to add melon slices or fruit to make your beverage a tad more interesting.

Easy to snack on, mix into sparkling water or champagne, ideal for salads and desserts alike, there's a reason why strawberries are the star of the summer season. McMordie credits their high water content—92 percent, to be exact—as one of the many reasons they're superstars for our skin. One cup of these red beauties gives you 100 percent of the vitamin C your body requires in a day, helping to fight against free radicals—and preserve your youth. "Vitamin C is also important for the synthesis of collagen, one of the main components responsible for skin elasticity," she adds.

Often times when you break out, it's because of some sort of inflammation showing its impact in the form of aging symptoms or acne. To the rescue is this fatty fish that's high in omega-3, which helps to keep your skin calm and nourished. If you're not a fan of salmon, add some walnuts to your snacking routine, as they're also filled with this nutrient, McMordie says.

Lounging around on a lake on a float, reading a book and passing time, the only thing missing is an easy snack. Consider sunflower seeds for your vacation, since McMordie says they provide 37 percent of the daily value of vitamin E in one serving. "It's thought that vitamin E helps to boost immune function, which helps clear skin of acne," she explains. You can also nibble on peanuts, wheat germ and almonds for similar benefits.
