Eat Salmon. Why?
Salmon, sardines, anchovies and tuna are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega helps to hydrate and create healthy skin barriers, leaving the skin feeling softer and wrinkle-free. Choose foods that are high in omega-3 such as cold-water fishes or try using flax seed oil.
Eat a Rainbow. Huh?
Fruits and vegetables contain powerful phytonutrients that can help with beautiful skin. Flavonoids found in berries can help reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles and even spider veins. Astaxanthin are found in squash and sweet potatoes and help to improve skin appearance through wrinkles, texture, elasticity and age spots. Berries and root vegetables are the most nourishing for your skin, but try and eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables with every meal!
Drink More Water. Why?
Drinking water daily is necessary to help improve skin complexion. If your skin is not getting enough water, it will appear dehydrated, flaky and will increase the appearance of wrinkles. Make sure you are drinking a minimum of 8 glasses day for beautiful and hydrated skin!
Cut out dairy. Yes, you heard me.
Dairy has been associated with acne for quite some time. Hormone related compounds found in dairy products stimulate oil glands in the skin and increase inflammation. Try cutting out dairy, or at least minimizing the amount of dairy that you consume by replacing it with healthier alternatives like Nut milk instead of cow milk.
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
If you are not getting 8 hours of sleep, then your skin will suffer as a result. During sleep, blood flow is increased throughout our body; including our skin. Sleep deprivation causes a decrease in the amount of blood flow to the skin leaving your complexion dull. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep, and you will notice a difference in your skin!
