The Best Foods for Fabulous Skin

By Mommy Lei -


Nutrition affects every function in your body, including hormone balance, collagen production, and even hair growth. You may invest in the best skin care products and never step into the sun, but the only way to have perfect hairless skin is to rejuvenate it from within. As the old skin cells shed off, proper nutrition and plenty of water help the new skin cells to grow faster. These foods provide all the nutrients your skin needs to stay supple, tight, and bright.


1. Fruits and vegetables
Citrus fruits like oranges, kiwi fruits, strawberries, blueberries, and guavas are all rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen as well as strengthening the capillaries that supply blood to the skin. Veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins contain Beta-carotene, which is a potent antioxidant. Beta-carotene helps in skin cell development and also protects your cells from free radical damage.

Besides helping your skin stay healthy, fruits and veggies are essential for your general health, especially when recovering from treatment. For instance, after undergoing a tattoo laser treatment, you need your immune system to be strong so your recovery is smooth. Tattoo laser treatments work by removing the ink from your body through your liver and lymphatic channels. LaserAll says that a healthy immune ensures quick elimination of the ink, fast wound repair, and it helps your body fight infections. Eating fruits rich in beta-carotene helps your skin cells regenerate after the treatment while protecting you from free radicals that can cause damage.

2. Avocados
Avocados have healthy fats that are great at keep your skin flexible and moisturized. Research has shown that avocados have fats that help your skin remain supple and springy. They are also packed with vitamin E that protects your skin from oxidative damage and helps you maintain skin elasticity. It’s also said that these fruit helps protect your skin from sun damage that causes wrinkles and other aging signs.

3. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids
Omega fatty acids are the basic building blocks of your cell’s structure. They monitor cellular metabolism and directly affect your digestion, mental, cardiovascular, and skin health. Oily fish like salmon are the richest sources of these fatty acids. However, you can also get omega 3 in plant sources like linseed, chia seeds, walnuts, and rapeseeds. Omega 3 and 6 forces the body to produce anti-inflammatory compounds to fight inflammation in the body.

4. Soy
Soy is a rich source of isoflavones that enhance elasticity and prevent the formation of wrinkles. A study conducted in postmenopausal women showed that soy improves skin dryness and gives you a smooth, supple skin. Isoflavones also protect the skin from cell damage as a result of UV rays and free radicals.

The secret to fabulous youthful skin lies in proper nutrition and taking plenty of water to clean out toxins and stay hydrated. A good skincare routine with plenty of moisturizing and exfoliating will also go a long way. However, the first step is always what you eat. Be intentional in the foods you eat if you want to see a change in your skin.
