The saying that beauty comes from within should be taken more seriously. Sure you can take all the beauty measures from the outside, but it's actually what you put into your body on the inside that affects your appearance drastically. Once you understand chemical levels, you'll learn the science behind nutrition and beauty.
What To Eat For A Beauty Boost
True wellness and natural radiance actually comes from food - not primers and concealers. You probably have all the ingredients for glowing skin, healthy hair, and nails right in your refrigerator or pantry already. Here's some ways to eat for a beauty boost with food and conscious eating.
Berries
You're probably better off eating organic berries than doing a face mask. They’re packed with antioxidants and vitamin C to help protect your skin from sun damage. Additionally, blueberries are vascular constrictors which help decrease redness in people with sensitive skin. Not to mention, strawberries boost collagen fibers, which will keep your skin smooth.
Water
Ditch the eye cream and start drinking more water. When you're dehydrated, your skin is less smooth and you can see little lines and creases. You can also eat water-rich foods such as cucumber, lettuce, and melons to hydrate your skin.
Nothing Processed
If your goal is clear and glowing skin, then start eliminating processed sugar, dairy, and anything with harsh additive foods. Processed sugar causes an imbalance in your hormones, which can lead to acne and whiteheads. Dairy is super inflammatory and hard for you to digest, which causes more skin breakouts. And foods with preserving agents feel foreign and can cause toxic build up.
Cacao
You don't have to get rid of sweets altogether though. Cacao has no sugar, is high in antioxidants, and tastes like chocolate. Just one will leave you satisfied, as they’re filled with plant-based collagen and have anti-aging properties.
Green Smoothie
A simple green smoothie will leave you with radiant skin and shiny hair in no time. It's easy, fresh, and all the ingredients bring on the glow. Just blend the following foods together: spinach, kale, celery, coconut water, banana, apple, lemon, and ginger.
Just remember, you want to eat things that make you feel beautiful. The more beautiful something looks, the more beautiful you feel eating it, which will make you feel happier, healthier, and prettier altogether. Give it a try and see the results!
