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…
Drinks
Drinking water helps keep both your body and skin hydrated, but as Dr Nick Lowe explains ‘moisturisation of the skin is directly related to the integrity of the skin barrier’ in other words a healthy diet and a great skincare regime to strengthen the epidermis and keep it hydrated are just as important as drinking water.
Dr Debra Luftman believes ‘adding green tea to your diet is important, it’s a really strong antioxidant’. While Dr Perricone swears by it for its anti-diabetes potential ‘use it along with or instead of water to fulfil your daily fluid intake’.
If you don’t think you will be able to fit your 5-a-day into your meals, pack them into a homemade juice or smoothie. Mix vegetable with fruits to get the best combination of nutrients. We love the Innocent Smoothie Recipe Book: 57 1/2 Recipes from Our Kitchen to Yours, £12.99, for recipe ideas.
