Inner Beauty, Outer Glow

How we look on the outside is just as much a result of how we treat our bodies on the inside - and just like anything in life, if we want something we have to work hard to achieve it. And although not all skin is created equal, with proper nutrition and care we can all look good. A proper diet rich in nutrients and hydration will keep skin looking fresh and vital, enabling it to recover from problems in the least amount of time. It really pays off to shop around for foods that not only feed us on the inside, but leave our skin looking great.

Tomatoes, since they’re loaded with lycopene, which helps to protect skin from sunburn. You still need to wear a high factor sunscreen though!

Nuts, since they’re high in omega 3 acids, which are known to hydrate the skin - lessening the appearance of wrinkles.

Fish, especially salmon for its high omega 3 factor, essential for keeping skin firm.

Red meat, since it’s high in zinc, which helps to build collagen.

Berries, including blueberries, strawberries and blackberries, which are all high in vitamin C, and act like antioxidants, helping to free the body of free radicals. Vitamin C is also associated with alleviating skin dryness and wrinkling.

Fiber, which helps to keep skin clear of toxins.

Following a healthy diet will get you glowing skin in no time.
