Eat your greens – green vegetables like rocket, kale, spinach and broccoli
keep your body alkalised which helps with skin inflammation.
Get your oils – plump out your skin by feeding it healthy oils such as
avocado, nuts, olive oil and coconut oil.
Eat from the sea – fresh seafood, especially oily fish like salmon and
sard ines are rich sources of omega 3.
Clean, low GI carbs – A low GI diet has been researched to improve skin
quality and reduce acne. Good choices include brown rice, rye bread,
oats, quinoa and millet.
Vitamin D – for a little skin boost get your vitamin D through fresh
salmon and tuna, cheese, natural yoghurt, eggs and liver.
Reduce your alcohol and caffeine.
Coffee and alcohol dehydrates your skin and can overstrain your adrenal
system, giving your complexion a grey, tired and dull look. When your
skin is dehydrated fine lines are much more prominent. Herbal teas
including green tea, peppermint tea and rooibos tea have all been linked
to wonderful health properties such as detoxifying your body, relaxing
your nervous system and healing your skin.
