Eating for Great Skin


Many people often ask me what type of products do I use on my skin to keep it so healthy, well I tell them it's not always about the products used but what foods you put into your body. Eating superfoods is known to slow down the aging process, and they are also fantastic for your skin. Choosing the right foods as a part of your diet, combined with a proper skin cleansing & moisturizing regimen can help achieve softer younger-looking skin.

You ask what are Superfoods? These are foods that have high antioxidants. Foods that contain this can help reduce the damage from sun exposure, smoke and pollution. These antioxidants also help prevent wrinkles, loss of skin firmness and other signs of aging. Here's some examples of what foods will fall under this category:

fruits — tomatoes, all berries
beans — kidney, pinto and black beans
veggies — peppers, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, dark-green leafy veggies, such as kale
range fruit — oranges, melons, papaya, peaches, mango

Also one of the most highly recommended superfood in juice form is pomegranate. It is said to contain ellagic acid to fight damage from free radicals as well as punicalagin to increase your body's ability to preserve collagen. Collagen is actually the connective tissue that makes your skin look younger, smoother and soft.

Hope these tips were a big help for you, because they definitely were for me!
