5 Things To Eat For Glowing Healthy Skin
We sure love our skincare products and there is nothing like applying a brand-new serum to help you clear out your skin and combat a dull complexion but if the results fail to follow, is it the serum, or could it be that your skin needed something different the entire time?
We are what we eat, they say, and our skin often finds ways to reflect it. All of the experts say food can cause certain skin issues and your diet is extremely important in not only maintaining your health on the inside but on the outside too!
Luckily, there are so many foods rich in nutrients that can make visible positive changes in your complexion. Today, we are recommending 5 that are not only great for skin but also delicious and easy to add to your everyday meals
1.) Blueberries
Blueberries are such an amazing beauty food. They are high in nutrients, fiber and antioxidants, which all support both a healthy gut and healthy skin.
Blueberries fight free radicals and support collagen and elastin production, which leads to firmer, smoother skin. There are also indications blueberries could improve several skin conditions, such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.
2.) Avocados
Avocado moisturizes your skin from the inside, providing it with high levels of healthy fats and oils. It supports the skin’s barrier and improves your skin’s water retaining abilities.
By doing so, avocado maintains the skin supple and flexible, and it has an anti-inflammatory effect. Another skin-loving component of avocados is vitamin E, which is a famous soothing and rejuvenating antioxidant. Great for your skin, but also your hair and nails.
3.) Almonds
Another healthy snack with multiple benefits for your skin. Almonds are rich in vitamins B and E, zinc and linoleic acid - all important for clear, healthy skin.
Almonds can help prevent and reduce the pollution and element damage, increase moisture and reduce fine lines. They promote a smooth, supple and radiant complexion.
4.) Tomatoes
Who would say the humble tomatoes we already use fairly regularly have such a positive effect on our skin? And here’s even better news - they work perfectly in combination with skin-friendly fats, such as olive oil.
The great thing about tomatoes is that they are rich in several important antioxidants, such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein. They shield the skin against free radicals, reduce damage, prevent fine lines and keep your skin youthful and hydrated.
5.) Green tea
In the end, we have to mention green tea, one of the most famous anti-aging foods ever, and for a reason. Not only is green tea a perfect way to get some much needed hydration, it is also protective, repairing and soothing.
Green tea contains catechins, powerful antioxidants that improve the texture and elasticity of your skin and reduce sun damage. It also helps calm your skin and reduce redness, inflammations and irritations.
Skincare products are great, but don’t underestimate the difference your diet can make in your overall appearance. For starters, try eating at least one of these beauty foods every day. It won’t take long for your skin to show its appreciation.
Hope you all are enjoying this fall weather!
