Ten Things You Can Eat and Drink That Improve The Quality of Your Skin

While some people will say there is no way any of these foods or drinks can improve the quality of your skin there is real scientific research to back them up. I’m not saying consuming these ten things will make your skin as new as a babies, but if you have greasy or dry skin you could see a significant improvement…

Besides, these food items are generally available in almost every household, making their consumption easy. Some of these items are even said to reverse aging and treat wrinkles. I am again not saying that their effects are as magical as Botox or facial treatments, but you can see a significant difference, given that you are consuming them on a regular basis.

Salmon

In fact, just about any fatty fish can improve the quality of your skin thanks to the Omega-3 fatty acids they have as it helps to keep the skin moisturized. But I picked salmon because it does have particularly high levels of it.

Avocados

There is a very good reason a lot of skin lotions contain avocado. It is said the vitamins E and C help to protect your skin from sun damage making it look and feel like new. So many this could be far better for your skin in the morning than that slice of toast.

Dark Chocolate

This one is going to be very good news for all the chocoholics out there! Sadly like all the things on this list moderation is key. As long as you make sure it is at least 70% cocoa it can help reduce the signs of old age by smoothing out wrinkles, keeping the skin hydrated and even helps increase your blood flow giving the skin more colour! No doubt, there could be major benefits to using skincare products from the likes of JoyViva which can also help reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. However, using organic substances (like chocolate) as a way of preventive care can go a long way too.

Green Tea

If you like to be out in the sun a lot this is what you need to drink the most of. Not only will it protect your skin from damage and signs of aging, but it can also help it rejuvenate after suffering from sunburn!

Blackcurrants

While this is a seasonal berry it has been proven to help radiant skin and help blemishes heal properly. Thanks to the high levels of Vitamin C which is a known super antioxidant.

Brazil Nuts

While there are other nuts that have high levels of selenium (the thing that helps your skin to look smoother and more radiant) none of them has the levels that Brazil nuts do.

Water

So it’s not as tasty as that can of coke, but it is just as refreshing! If your skin is looking a little tired but being slightly grey in colour it is a surefire sign that you need to drink more water. Just keep a bottle of it handy at all times and it will soon go down as you sip it throughout the day.

Turkey

While most organic poultry is good for getting more protein into the body turkey is low in fat meaning it is far better for you if you plan to eat a lot of it. Maybe consume it in a sandwich or roll (just make sure it is brown bread).

Oatmeal

All that nutritious whole grain has just about all you need for stronger, healthier looking skin and has been shown to also make a great face pack! So you can eat it and wear it, either way, it will give you that radiant complexion you always wanted.

Coconut Water

If you are not too fused on just plain water the next best thing is drinking a few glasses of coconut water instead. It will keep your whole body hydrated and is electrolyte-rich making your skin even shinier.
