With pollution, stress, tiredness or even the cold, your skin can easily push radiance aside and leave a dull and tired complexion in its place. Even though there are a million different methods to get back your glowing skin, your diet remains the single most effective cure. After all, you are what you eat! Here’s our advice on how you can change your diet to emphasise your natural beauty.

1. Fruit and veg all day, every day!

Carrot is without a doubt the best thing you can eat for a glowing complexion! Rich in beta-carotene, it increased the rate of cell renewal and melanin production, helping prepare your skin for sun exposure and a beautiful summer glow. Don’t worry, if you don’t like carrots you can opt for apricots, papaya, sweet potato, mango, pumpkin or even spinach, lettuce or broccoli – beta-carotene comes in all flavours and colours! ?

Orange, guava, kiwi, pepper, grapefruit, pineapple, tomato and cauliflower are all rich in vitamin C – great for brightness! These antioxidant fruits and vegetables fight against sights of aging and bring you radiance and brightness!

 

2. Drinks that do you good!

We can never stress this enough, but you should be 1.5l of water every day, at the very least! If what you’re looking for is healthy and glowing skin, then look no further. Water helps your skin to absorb nutrients and get rid of toxins.

Green tea is a dangerous weapon against a dull complexion because it eliminates the toxins that are responsible for a lack of radiance and brings the skin polyphenols.

3. Fish and Seafood (if your diet allows them)

Rich in omega 3 and essential fatty acids, salmon and mackerel contain all of the good fats you need to nourish your skin from the inside out and even and smooth your complexion. With less dryness, the skin will glow! You’ll find omega 3, selenium and zinc in all seafood. They are known for their ability to delay the aging of the skin.

4. Organic plant oils

Certain oils can have an incredible effect on the skin because of their richness in essential fatty acids and omega 6. They allow your skin to retain its elasticity. You can incorporate them into your cooking or take a tablespoon twice a day as a supplement. The oils that are best for maintaining your skin’s radiance are: walnut, soya, grapeseed, sunflower, borage and evening primrose. Make sure you’re using organic, cold-pressed oils to get the maximum benefits from them!

5. Oleaginous fruits

These are nuts like walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashew nuts, brazil nuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and coconuts. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and rapeseed oils are all also rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. These are ideal nutrients that will give your skin vitality and reduce the appearance of tiredness. With the help of these handy foods, you’re guaranteed radiance!

6. Seaweed!

This one might seem strange, but seaweeds are packed full of vitamins, trace elements and nutrients that are great for your general health and even more nourishing for your skin. The nori that encases your maki roles has incredible detoxifying and hydrating properties, essential for glowing skin. :)
