Eat Your Way To Flawless Skin!

Whether your skin regime is filled with face creams, serums or facials, beautiful skin begins with attention from within. A steady supply of key nutrients via the foods we eat are key in the nourishment of our skin. Having a balanced diet will feed your skin with the vital nutrients that it needs to be hydrated, soft and radiant.

Let’s start with maintaining moisture. Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and are essential in keeping skin thick, supple and moisturised. Fish oil has also been found to assist in fighting inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, which has significant impact on a person’s overall complexion.

Antioxidants are great in supporting the immune system and promoting blemishes in healing. Wondering what is rich in antioxidants? Vitamin C is the super antioxidant of all! Vitamin C boosts radiance and assists in the production of collagen. Foods rich in Vitamin C are blueberries, oranges, broccoli, guava, kiwi and other fruits.

Don’t forget the fundamental rule to any balanced diet: 2 servings of fruit and 5 servings of veg DAILY! Eating the recommended daily intake of fruits and veg are crucial in the development of healthy skin cells and healthy skin tone. Plus, not only will you look good on the outside you’ll be feeling fresh on the inside too!

Not all oils are bad for you! Don’t underestimate the power of olive oil. Olive oil should be a staple in everyone’s kitchen as 75% of its fat is monounsaturated fatty acids. If your unfamiliar with “monounsaturated fatty acids” it translates to a good thing! Olive oil is known to play a role in youthful looking skin, (no wonder those from the Mediterranean have such flawless skin)!

Try making small adjustments to your diet over a gradual period of time and you should notice a dramatic difference in your overall complexion and feeling. After all, slow and steady wins the race!
