5 Foods That Are Amazing For Your Skin
The benefits of a good grooming routine are well documented; looking after your skin with moisturisers and the like, is something we do on a daily basis but what about more natural skincare? Your diet has an impact on your body in more ways that just your weight. What you’re eating has a big impact on your skin and eating the right foods, as part of a balanced diet of course, will do as much for you as that plethora of products.
Although we won’t be ditching the moisturisers and the like just yet, here are 5 foods that will do wonders for your skin…
Dark Chocolate
Yes, eating well doesn’t necessarily mean cutting out the sweeter stuff. High concentrated cocoa chocolate retains some antioxidant properties and a small portion is great to supplement your diet with. A couple of ounces a day, roughly a few squares, should help you reap the benefits.
Sunflower Seeds
Absolutely packed full of vitamin E, a mere 30 gram serving a day will give you a huge boost of this immune system enhancing vitamin. Ideal for anyone who suffers from Acne or the like, sunflower seeds assist in keeping your skin smooth and clear.
Kale
A genuine super-food, the vegetable is rich in vitamins, particularly A and C. In fact, it has more than your required daily requirement for these two, both of which are great for your skin. Kale also has high quantities of vitamin k, great for alleviating dark circles and iron. Start adding some to your diet immediately.
Kiwi
Seriously high in Vitamin C, studies have found that diets rich in the stuff help combat dryness and wrinkles. Between the Kale and the Kiwi, those supplements will become a thing of the fast.
Pomegranate
This powerful antioxidant nourishes and protects the skin. The fruit is also full of essential fatty acids, not the bad kind FYI, an effective anti-inflammatory, moisturiser and is full of potent anti-aging qualities.
