Eating for Glorious Skin!

What is the secret to a glowing complexion? When it comes to skincare, natural beauty truly does begin from the inside out. It’s time to take a look at what you eat and reveal just a few of the natural powerhouses for the complexion. Fruit and veggie lovers can rejoice! The more often you nosh on these antioxidant and nutritionally rich foods, the more repair and management properties you will be consuming. Here are just a few of the notable favorites.

Avocados

Loaded with vitamin K, avocados pack a powerful health punch. These wholesome fruits contain natural oils that maintain the elasticity and youthfulness of the complexion. The palm-size fruits are great for eating or even as a topical mask that will easily absorb right into the skin. Other key nutrients include folate, vitamin B6, and potassium. The Hass avocado is generally available throughout the year, but best in spring and summer. During the fall and winter months choose Fuerto, Zutano and Bacon varieties.

Blueberries

Blueberries reign as one of the highest antioxidant sources. Just a half cup daily is all you need to reap the benefits of these tasty berries. Add them to a bowl of cereal, create a blueberry smoothie, toss them in a salad, or enjoy them by the handful. Since this fruit has the hidden power to slow the aging process and reverse cell damage, I think we can all agree that this is one food worth enjoying.

Carrots

Have you had your beta-carotene today? Carrots are slam packed with anti-inflammatory properties. This vegetable is able to soothe skin, ideal for those who suffer from inflammatory skin conditions. By eating carrots you may soon find relief to redness without relying on harsh chemicals or expensive treatments. If you’re looking for an alternative with no side effects, grab a carrot and eat your way to a smoother complexion.

Salmon

High in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon has both anti-inflammatory components as well as natural oils for a healthy glow. As an additional bonus, your hair will also reap the benefits of lustrous shine! The healthiest choice is wild caught salmon that has been allowed to live in a natural, uncontaminated environment. Add the fish to salads, steam, bake, or broil with no added oil or butter. Your skin will thank you.

Actresses and models know the key to picture-perfect skin—it’s all about what goes into the body. Ideally, skincare changes will incorporate the entire diet by reconstructing how you think about food. By eliminating processed and fatty foods, limiting your soda consumption, and focusing on ways to eat more of these complexion enhancing foods your skin will never have looked better.
