TELL ME HOW YOU EAT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOUR SKIN LOOKS LIKE
As Aristotle said in Ancient Greece, "Let food be your best medicine and let your best medicine be your food."
The skin is the largest organ in our body and directly reflects our state of health . In addition to external care , such as cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, etc., nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin .
WATER AND VITAMINS, ESSENTIAL FOR BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY SKIN
Water is essential for healthy skin. Staying well hydrated is key to preventing dryness and premature appearance of wrinkles .
Certain environmental factors such as stress , sun exposure , high temperatures , exercise or excessive sweating can cause water consumption requirements to be greater .
It is not enough to just hydrate ourselves by drinking water or liquids; there are certain foods that will also contribute to hydration and keep our skin well hydrated.
The foods that will help us with this are mainly vegetables and greens , as well as fruits . Their high water content will be key .
This group of foods will not only help us with hydration, but being rich in antioxidants , such as vitamins and minerals , they will combat or maintain the balance of free radicals .
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging .
Antioxidants are key to neutralizing these free radicals.
What vitamins are going to be the ones that will help us mainly to take care of our skin?
Vitamin E : protects and helps improve cellular tissue, effectively counteracting aging . It can be said to be a powerful photoprotector .
The foods where we can find it are mainly in oils of vegetable origin , sunflower seeds , flax seeds , pumpkin seeds , sesame seeds and nuts such as almonds and walnuts, avocado .
The ALL IN ONE CREAM moisturizes all skin types . Its secret is its high dosage of Bakuchiol or vegan retinol , an incredible active ingredient 60 times more effective than vitamin E against oxidative damage. Its moisturizing, anti-aging and tone-evening properties are combined with other equally incredible active ingredients, such as orchid stem cells from Japan that redefine and reshape the facial oval .
-
Vitamin A : we refer to beta-carotene which is the precursor of vitamin A.
It helps skin pigmentation and prevents oxidative stress .
It is responsible for the yellowish, orange color of foods, mainly vegetables such as pumpkin , tangerine , tomato , apricots , carrots , and in foods of animal origin such as egg yolk and dairy products such as butter .
We can also find it in spinach , spirulina algae and sprouted alfalfa .
- Vitamin C : essential for skin health , as it promotes the synthesis of collagen , a protein that makes up skin tissue and gives it elasticity and improves the skin's barrier function .
This nutrient is found in most citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, tangerine, acerola, kiwi , pineapple , strawberries , peppers , and tomatoes.
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS FOR GLOWING SKIN
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for skin health , helping to maintain the skin barrier and reduce inflammation . Fatty fish like salmon , walnuts , and chia seeds are excellent sources of omega-3s . Include these foods in your diet to help maintain soft, radiant skin .
PROTEINS TO STRENGTHEN THE SKIN STRUCTURE
Proteins are essential building blocks for the skin. Collagen and elastin , two key proteins, are responsible for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity .
Make sure to include lean protein sources in your diet, such as chicken , fish , legumes , and dairy products .
In conclusion, a balanced, nutrient-rich diet is essential to maintaining skin health and preventing premature aging . By incorporating specific foods that provide hydration , antioxidants , essential fatty acids , vitamins, and proteins , you will be nourishing your skin from within and promoting a radiant, youthful complexion.
