Foods for healthy skin

October 12,2021
Share:

Joy Onuorah

Whether you need to treat acne, ward off premature aging, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, or fight back against another pesky skin condition, the right diet can be a valuable aid.

Below are the best foods for your glowing skin:

Tomato

thanks to an ingredient called lycopene, the phytochemical that makes tomatoes red. It helps boosts collagen strength and fights off the oxidizing effect of UV rays by eliminating skin-aging free radicals.

Carrot

Carrots and sweet potatoes have beta carotene, a natural sun protectant, and are rich in vitamin A, which restores damaged collagen.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that help fight cell-damaging free radicals. Berries contain high amounts of plant compounds known as anthocyanins that have strong antioxidant properties. If you are looking to have flawless skin, grab a handful of blueberries ASAP.

Safflower oil

Safflower oil is a good source of vitamin E, a major player when you’re eating for glowing skin. This antioxidant vitamin plays a role in skin health by decreasing collagen breakdown, helping prevent and repair damage from UV exposure, and decreasing skin inflammation.

Orange

Oranges are one of the most well-known food sources of vitamin C, and they’re one of the best fruits for glowing skin.

Salmon

To support the skin barrier, you need to be consuming sufficient amounts of healthy fats.

Yellow pepper

Vitamin C is important for collagen production and, along with vitamin E, is an important antioxidant that can protect against free radical damage. Yellow pepper can also help with discolouration and can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Broccoli

Broccoli is another vitamin C-rich food that’s great for achieving glowing skin. In addition to broccoli, other great cruciferous veggies include cauliflower, kale, and bok choy.

Cantaloupe

Add this melon to your fruit salad recipes for glowing skin. Vitamin A is also important for the health of your skin, so reach for dark green and orange fruits and veggies, such as cantaloupe, mango, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, kale, carrots, and spinach.

Kale

This cruciferous veggie is loaded with the skin’s favorite anti-aging vitamins A, C, E, and K. Leafy greens are one of the most potent sources of vitamin K, a vitamin that helps with blood clotting and faster healing when ingested.

Avocado

Avocados are wonderful for adding hydration to skin and reducing inflammation.

The fruit is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have been proven to hydrate and shield the skin by lowering the risk of premature aging caused by ultraviolet radiation.

Strawberries

Strawberries are another vitamin C-rich fruit to add to your diet if you want glowing skin.

Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, antioxidants, and other compounds that help build strong collagen and can even help protect against harmful UV.

Kiwi

Kiwi fruit is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C. Vitamin C is required in the pathway the body uses for making collagen.

Oyster

Oysters contain high levels of the trace mineral zinc. Your body might need a little of it each day, but zinc has a huge impact on cell functioning, as more than 100 different enzymes require it to function.

And skin cells, in particular, rely on zinc to make the proteins that repair damaged tissues and regenerate new ones. The mineral also works as an antioxidant by lessening the formation of cell-damaging free radicals and protects the cells that make collagen, your skin’s support structure. 

Fried eggs

Protein-rich foods, such as egg whites, have lysine and proline, amino acids that form collagen.

Don’t dismiss the yolk, though! Egg yolks are rich in vitamins that are essential for proper cell function, as well as contain the “beauty vitamin,” biotin.

Chai seeds

Chia seeds are another great source of omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids help contribute to the skin barrier function. Eating these healthy fats helps to support the skin barrier.

Sweet potato

Few foods are as rich in the beauty stuff as a baked sweet potato. In fact, just half a medium potato provides 200% of your daily recommended intake. 

Potatoes

Potatoes sometimes get a bad rep, but they’re full of nutrients like vitamin C. They just might be the most delicious way to get that glowing skin you’re looking for.

Spinach

Spinach is a good source of both vitamin A and vitamin C. Just a single cup of spinach contains 65% of your DV of folate.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin A, and it’s delicious all year round.

Mangoes

Mango is another fruit that’s great for glowing skinit’s one of Dr. Salge Blake’s recommendations for adding more vitamin A to your diet.
