Super Food=Super Skin

The following foods are proven to improve overall health but more importantly have an amazing effect on our skin. Below I will list out my top 5 super foods that keep my skin glowing and help to fight acne and have an anti-ageing effect on our skin.


1. Blueberries

 Blueberries contains tones of antioxidants which fight toxins in the body. There are so many vitamins and nutrients in blueberries that are fantastic for your skin. Whether you suffer from acne, broken capillaries or splotchy skin, the nutrients in blueberries will help.
Many of the vitamins in blueberries may neutralise or normalise oil levels in your skin, making it healthier and less likely to produce more sebum. Vitamin A is a major vitamin that is found in the blueberry, this vitamin is used in a variety of acne-related skin treatments.


2. Kale

Often described as the healthiest vegetable's in the world, and a nutritional powerhouse Kale has an amazing effect on skin. Kale boosts the health of our skin as it contains Vitamin C and LOTS of it!
Vitamin C helps you make the collagen needed for skin strength. Vitamin C's antioxidant function also means it might provide natural protection from the sun, preventing skin damage caused by exposure to the sun's rays. I always make sure I pop some into a morning smoothie if I have one, keeps me going for the morning.




3. Walnuts

These babies contains loads of fatty acids which is good news for people who suffer from eczema. They also contain Vitamin B which is an excellent stress and mood manager. Less stress means better skin. Increased stress levels can lead to unexpected breakouts but worse can lead to earlier onset of wrinkles which increases the ageing process! Those with dry skin should try applying warm walnut oil regularly enhancing growth of healthier and radiant cells while keeping your skin moisturised.


4. Oily Fish

Oily fish, like salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring, trout all contain unreal levels of omega 3 fatty acids.People who suffer with dry skin conditions such as eczema have a deficiency in omega 3 levels. Eating up to 3 portions of fish a week can have a significant effect on dry skin conditions. As well as containing fatty acids they also are packed full of other important nutrients such as selenium, magnesium, vitamins B12, B6 and B3. Eat up!



5. Watermelon  

Water melons contain 92% water so are  fantastic for preventing dehydration during the summer.
Not only does it hydrate you-resulting in radiant skin but it also prevent fine lines, wrinkles and age spot. The watermelon fruit is also used in shower gels, lipsticks, lip gloss and shampoos because of its gorgeous smelling refreshing scent.
The juice of a watermelon is also one of the best ways you can cure acne. Massage the juice into skin everyday to improve appearance of skin.



Hope this inspired you all to up your dosage of super foods guys.
