Skincare is all the rage. Hyaluronic acid and retinol are everywhere. But, you can help your skin look its best without paying an arm and a leg at the department store.

Don’t get us wrong. We are big believers in a good skincare routine. You should find products that work for your kin and take pride in that process. But even the best routine will not make up for what you’re putting inside your body.

Your health shows through your skin. When you are backed up or eating poorly, your skin will show acne, clogged pores, and oiliness. To ensure that your products do their best for you, you need to provide them with your best canvas.

It can be hard to avoid processed foods, but eating certain foods can help your skin. Adding these into your diet every day and making it a priority can improve your skin’s hydration level, glow, and texture.

Carrots

Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A, which is chock full of antioxidants. Antioxidants help you fight wrinkles and can even prevent breakouts. Now, you don’t want to replace your diet with carrots because you will get sick and probably turn orange. But, adding some carrots to a stir fry or salad can go a long way.

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are easy to add int your diet because you don’t need much to pack a big punch. They are very high in selenium, a powerful antioxidant fighting free radicals. Just a handful a day can help you prevent signs of aging breakouts and even lighten up those dark bags under your eyes.

Garlic

YUM! Garlic is antibacterial and contains Vitamin B6. This is supposed to repair cells, encouraging healing. For those with scarring, adding garlic to your dishes isn’t just tasty but also beneficial for your skin. Garlic is also said to help boost your immunity.

Raw Red Peppers

Raw red peppers contain a high level of Vitamin E, which is an antioxidant. This vitamin is often used topically, but eating can also help boost your skin’s moisture and soothe irritation. Plus, what a tasty snack?

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes contain a number of nutrients to maintain healthy skin. The beta carotene even acts as a natural sunblock, but please, still wear an SPF. Not only will eating sweet potatoes taste delicious, but they can help your skin combat the effects of the sun while offering a warm glow to the skin.

Broccoli

Sure, broccoli might be gassy, but it has so many vitamins and minerals that improve your skin it is worth a bit of gas. With zinc, vitamins A and C, as well as lutein, eating broccoli helps protect your skin from external damage and can stop it from becoming dry. Although not proven, some studies have suggested that eating broccoli can also help maintain the collagen levels in your skin.

Dark Chocolate

As if you needed another reason to indulge, now you have one. Eating small amounts of dark chocolate regularly has shown not just hydrated skin but also thicker, more durable skin. After consuming high-quality dark chocolate after a few months, many people saw softer skin, less sensitive skin, and quicker healing skin.

Who knew that some of your favorite foods could make such a difference in the appearance of your skin? Even so, a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables is key to your wellness. So, even though incorporating these foods into your diet can help your skin look its best, be sure you are getting all the nutrients you need.
