Healthy, glowing skin isn't only about what you put on it ā what you put on your plate matters too. A balanced, nourishing diet supports your skin from the inside out, and many skin-friendly foods are simple, everyday ingredients.
Hydration Is Step One
Skin loves water. Staying hydrated through the day, and enjoying water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon and oranges, helps your skin look fresh and plump.
Colourful Fruits and Vegetables
Brightly coloured produce is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that support healthy skin. Aim for variety across the week.
- Leafy greens like spinach ā full of vitamins.
- Berries and citrus ā rich in vitamin C.
- Carrots and sweet potatoes ā colourful and nourishing.
- Tomatoes ā a familiar, skin-friendly staple.
Healthy Fats and Whole Foods
Good fats from nuts, seeds and foods like avocado help keep skin supple. Whole grains and a steady intake of protein round out a skin-supporting diet.
