7 Foods for Beautiful Clear Skin

....and the ones you should avoid.

Food matters when it comes to skin care?

To put it simply, yes–it matters! What you put into your body directly affects the condition of your skin. The skin is the largest organ in your body, and certain foods can either benefit the skin, or cause damage. If you want to achieve clear skin, it is important to not only pay attention to what you’re putting on your body, but also to what you’re putting in it!

To help you, we have made a list of top 7 foods to help you get clear skin, and we have also named a few foods that you should avoid.

1. Kiwi

This simple fruit helps to add a natural glow to the skin, keeps it from drying out and helps reduce the signs of aging! Kiwis contain vitamin E and antioxidants that help to moisturize and hydrate the face naturally. It also contains high amounts of vitamin c that aids in the formation of collagen which in turn increases the elasticity of the skin and reduces fine line and wrinkles. It also has high omega-3 fatty acids which make the skin supple, soft and bouncy.

1. Flaxseed

Flax seeds are a superfood that are full

of nutrients including healthy fatty acids, vitamins and energy.

Not only do they help the skin, they also are known to combat certain diseases such as heart disease, hypertension and obesity. Flaxseed have a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids as well, and can balance out estrogen levels. This helps to increase the blood circulation which in turn gives the skin a natural glow, reduces acne breakouts, and reduces the signs of aging.

1. Avocados

Avocados are a great healthy choice that contain beta carotene, protein, lecithin, fatty acids and vitamins a, c, d, and e. These nutrients help to moisturize and protect your skin from harmful UV rays. By making sure the skin is properly moisturized, you can prevent blemishes, acne and wrinkles.

1. Oily Fish

Fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel are rich in healthy fatty acids, making them a delicious choice for your skin! The omega-3 fats found in fish can reduce inflammation which can cause redness, puffiness and breakouts. They can even make your skin less sensitive to UV rays as well! They also contain zinc which can help with the regeneration of skin cells, and may be associated with scar healing and the reduction of cellulite.

1. Dark Leafy Greens

Dark leafy green such as spinach and kale contain high levels of vitamin e, making them a powerful antioxidant that repairs the skin cells and improves the appearance of the skin. Eating these types of vegetables can give you a soft glow, and a natural healthy tan. It supports the skin’s immune system preventing disease and damage, and also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

1. Carrots

If you want to keep your skin looking vibrant, take a bite of a carrot! Carrots have beta carotenes and are a great source of vitamin a and c. These nutrients help to repair skin tissue, reduce dark spots and help you to maintain a healthy skin complexion.

1. Blueberries

Finally, the blueberry! Blueberries are high in antioxidants, fiber and vitamins, making them perfect for reducing acne, eliminating eczema breakouts, and stopping premature aging. The nutrients in this little berry can unclog pores, kill acne-causing bacteria and help to remove dead skin cells!
