Foods For Face- The Secret to a Better Complexion is in Your Diet!


People say “It’s what’s on the inside that counts,” and they couldn’t be more right. When it comes to your health, what you see on the outside is a reflection of what’s on the inside. So, if you want more radiant skin, start with this nutrition advice and start seeing beautifully glowing skin in just a couple of weeks!

It is widely known that avocados contain essential oils and vitamins that nourish your skin, inside and out. But you may not have known that Niacin, a vitamin abundant in avocados, is responsible for soothing irritated red and blotchy skin. Niacin also acts as an anti-inflammatory so if you want to avoid the puffy face look, incorporate an avocado into your daily diet. It can be as easy as substituting a banana with an avocado in your morning smoothie. Add yogurt, frozen berries, and half an avocado in your blender and you are on your way to a stunning complexion!

Do you have dry, flaky skin? The solution may lie in mangoes! Mangoes have 80% of your daily requirements for vitamin A, which helps to maintain and repair skin cells. A deficiency of vitamin A may be the reason behind your dry complexion. Vitamin A also serves as an antioxidant, fighting free radical damage that can prematurely age the skin.

If dry skin persists, increase your intake of water. Water is the most important ingredient for healthy skin. Drinking eight glasses of water a day will prevent dry skin, and wash away waste products and other harmful chemicals from cells. Without water, these toxins build up, and make skin look dull and unhealthy. Check out the Water Diet for more details on hydrating your body from the inside out!
