THE RIGHT FOODS FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
Because it’s often said that you are what you eat, and it’s true. Healthy skin also means eating the right foods. Because the water you drink, the water found in vegetables, is what’s going to hydrate your skin (and not the water found in products, which only remains on the skin’s surface) and hydrate skin cells from the inside, making them suppler, softer and more luminous. What’s more, water promotes blood circulation, helping to supply important nutrients to the skin. Drinking enough water is therefore essential for maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
So we’ve put together a short list of foods to eat and avoid for beautiful skin.
The Comette skincare routine + a healthy diet = the perfect combo for radiant, healthy skin!
THE FIRST STEP: MOISTURIZE YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT!
Don’t neglect your water intake, which should be generous enough. The recommended minimum is 1.5l per day, so invest in your best water bottle to carry you through the day, and drink to cleanse your body of toxins and make your skin fresher and healthier.
COMBINATION TO OILY SKIN:
Foods that fight blemishes:
- Foods with a high Zinc content(oysters, offal, red meat, wholemeal bread and eggs). Zinc is an effective trace element against acne.
- Foods containing vitamin b8( cauliflower, grapefruit, soy, walnuts, spinach). Biotin protects the skin from cellular oxidation. It also promotes cell renewal and has a significant moisturizing effect.
- Red berries(strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) have astringent and purifying properties for the skin. By taking a red fruit cure, your skin is thoroughly cleansed.
DRY SKINS:
The focus is on moisturizing and antioxidant foods.
- Foods containing vitamin B3 (tuna, poultry and dried fruit) for dry skin. Vitamin B3 rehydrates and maintains skin hydration.
- Foods containing vitamin b5(organ meats, mushrooms and seeds). This vitamin has a moisturizing action above all , although it is also appreciated for its soothing and regenerating properties.
- Omega 3: use seasoning oils rich in omega 3, such as walnut and rapeseed oils. They are also present in avocados and butter. Omega 3 is a nutrient for the skin. It keeps it in perfect health, while strengthening it and protecting it against certain skin diseases.
MATURE SKIN :
Opt for a special wrinkle diet.
- Foods containing vitamin E (olive oil, sunflower, pomegranate and others) will help improve your skin’s elasticity.
- Foods containing vitamin C ( citrus fruits, leeks, peppers, broccoli, kiwi and many others) are recommended for all skin types, but also for your well-being, as they will help you fight fatigue.
As you can see, treating oily skin requires a healthy, balanced diet! So, unsurprisingly, we limit fat and sugar:
- Ready meals.
- Aperitif cookies.
- Sweets.
- Sodas and spirits.
- Delicatessen
- Fatty meats (lamb, pork or beef).
- Bread and white pasta.
For a luminous complexion and supple, toned skin, opt for the following vitamins and foods:
- Vitamin C: citrus fruits, leeks, peppers, broccoli, kiwi fruit
- Vitamin A: carrots, spinach, kale and tomatoes
- B1: wholemeal bread, sesame seeds and pulses
- Garlic: Packed with vitamins A, B and C, as well as antioxidants, garlic is renowned for fighting skin dullness.
If you eat a healthy diet, you’re sure to notice a difference in your skin. Better nourished, it will be more supple, fresher and clearer, free of impurities. But of course, we continue our routine with 100% organic and natural products.
