Beauty Secrets for Radically Clear Skin
For too many years, the idea that nutrition could have a significant influence on the skin was dismissed, but that has since changed. Whether the issue is aging, acne, or wrinkle free skin care, many recent studies indicate that nutrition really does matter.
A holistic nutritionist points out that because the body tends to prioritize other organs, such as the heart, when doling out nutrients, the skin is the first to show signs of distress when your diet is poor, “it’s a critical barometer of our health.” The older we get, the harder it is for our skin to soak up nutrients, making a skin-friendly diet even more critical as we age.
Be Wrinkle-free with vitamin C
Vitamin C and other antioxidants, such as vitamins E and A, play a crucial role in neutralizing free-radicals associated with sun, wind, and environmental toxin exposure, which age cells and lead to wrinkled skin. Vitamin C is particularly important for building plump, moist collagen. If you don’t get the proper amount of vitamin C, collagen does not hold water well and the results are wrinkles. People who spend a lot of time outdoors, either playing or working, need collagen the most.
Tomatoes and Green Tea
Tomatoes and green tea have also earned recognition from skin researchers - tomatoes contain lycopene and green tea contains polyphenols.
Good Fats
We’ve all heard how we should eat more fatty fish, such as salmon, and/or add a fish oil supplement to our diet. In addition to having antioxidant properties and hydrating skin cells, essential fatty acids (such as omega-3 - which are commonly found in fish, olive oil, flax seeds, and walnuts) help create a protective layer that shields against environmental stresses and holds in moisture.
