When it comes to nourishing your skin, nothing does as good of job than the foods you eat. You read that right! No cream or serum works as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. Addressing which foods to choose and which foods to avoid is our goal. Read further for tips on how to have healthy, glowing skin using the things you find in your pantry or local supermarket.
Pomegranate Perfection
Pomegranates are perfect because they’re packed with polyphenols which are antioxidants that fight free radicals. The help regulate the skin’s blood flow and give you a rosy glow. Eat at least one pomegranate or drink a few glasses of juice daily to help your skin. It’s one sweet food that you don’t need to feel guilty about consuming.
Peppers for Peepers
Fight wrinkles around the eyes with delicious green and yellow vegetables. Make a meal out of peppers. The food tastes great raw and cooked.
Even it Out with Edamame
Another food that’s great for the skin is soy. It contains minerals and proteins that help reduce hyperpigmentation. Prepare a cup of edamame or soy milk a day for a clearer complexion. It’s a food you can sink your teeth in.
Calming Green Tea
High in antioxidants which help reduce redness and inflammation, a cup of green tea does wonders for the skin. Brew a cup a day and enjoy taking good care of your skin. No one argues with the logic behind some good self-care.
Now that you know which foods work best for your skin, you’ll be careful to add them to your shopping cart and diet. Avoid fatty, fried foods which clog the skin and cause breakouts. Drink plenty of water to eliminate wastes from your body and to keep skin looking fresh and clean. The food you eat really make a difference in how you look and feel.
