Eat your way to better skin
Dieting is about more than just your dress size. We all know that eating the wrong foods can cause spots, or even worse, wrinkles, so it makes sense that eating the good stuff can improve the condition of your skin.
And, as 67% of you told us you care more about your face than your body, we thought it was about time we reconsidered diets and what they should do for us. We called on the skincare experts the celebrities have on speed dial to find out exactly what you should be eating to get A-List skin.
Read what they told us here…
Supplements
Supplements shouldn’t be taken as a replacement for a good diet, you always need to aim to eat a variety of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis, but with a hectic, on-the-go lifestyle it’s not always possible to reach the 5-a-day goal.
Bobbi Brown explains that ‘when you eat, you are never getting single, isolated nutrients. A bowl of leafy green provides an abundance of several important vitamins such as B, K and E as well as fibre and anti-oxidants'.
With this in mind, if you are going to take supplements look for ones that are of a food grade. Nude’s supplements, from £37.19, are natural and fermented to ensure you absorb the maximum amount of nutrients, but more importantly they are made up from food grade supplements, which means you get a combination of vitamins and minerals that your body would naturally find in food. ‘This way your body knows what to do with the supplement and you will get the best results’ explains Emma at Nude.
Another great supplement to take is Hyaluronic Acid, normally found in anti-ageing and hydrating moisturisers, you can also take this wonder ingredient in tablet form to work from the inside out. Hyaluronic Acid works to hydrate and plump the skin and also keep the collagen in your skin from degenerating. Try Hyaluronic Acid capsules, £31.95 by LifeTime Vitamins available from Victoria Health.
