Spring Into Natural Skin

Great Skin Is a Reflection Of Your Inner Health

I know we’ve been hearing this a lot lately: you are what you EAT! Our skin can be a reflection of what’s happening within our own bodies. A diet rich in vitamins, minerals, & nutritious fats can greatly increase our skin’s health. 

Add these nutritious elements to your diet to help improve your skin:

Vitamin A - Your skin loves Vitamin A. Dark leafy greens like kale and spinach are rich with vitamin A and come with many anti-aging benefits.

Vitamin C - We’re learning more and more about the massive benefits of vitamin C for fighting colds but did you know Vitamin C helps prevent wrinkles too? Don’t skip on the citrus! 

Green Tea - Green Tea acts as an over all skin healer. It acts as an anti-inflammatory against acne. Also, studies have shown the Green Tea protects from sun-damage by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, it may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen. 

Fish (Omega-3s) - Tuna, salmon, and trout are high in omega-3s. These good for you fats actually help soften dry skin and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. 

Berries: Berries are full of antioxidants, as we head toward summer, add some

fresh berries to your yogurt, or simply enjoy a bowl of berries as your dessert.  Antioxidants protect the skin from free radicals which disrupt healthy cell production, and may cause your skin to show signs of aging prematurely.
