No More Skincare Lines…Foods That Give You Flawless Skin

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UWG chapter.

When I was in middle school and high school, I thought I had the ugliest skin. I did everything possible to try to make it glow and perfect. I mean I went to the extreme…I was buying new face washes and lotions every other week. Now that I’ve gotten older, I have become aware of how important the foods you put into your body are. They can have a huge affect on your skin! Take a look at this list of foods & add them into your diet! You can bet on seeing a difference in no time.

  • Avocados: these guys are full of biotin! This will aide in keeping your skin moisturized during the upcoming cold months and will also benefit your hair and nails. 3 in 1!

  • Nuts: contain OMEGA-3, which will help with that golden skin glow!

  • Blueberries: blueberries help to maintain an even skin tone. They also contain antioxidants that help with stress. We could all use some help with our stress load. I’ll take a cup of blueberries now, please!

  • Raisins: I’ve never been a fan of raisins until now. Raisins are full of antioxidants which can prevent your skin from sagging!

  • Cucumbers: revitalizes and rejuvenates skin. And of course, cucumbers are famous for controlling puffiness under the eyes.

  • Dark Chocolate: believe it or not, dark chocolate can help protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV exposure, so now we have an excuse to eat chocolate!

  • Salmon: adding this into your diet will improve skin’s elasticity.

  • Peaches: yum! Peaches contain vitamin A&C which make for a great natural moisturizer. Peaches can also help fight type 2 diabetes.

  • WATER WATER WATER: I know you’ve all heard it before, but it is so so true. Drinking enough water daily is the best way to keep you skin looking flawless!

Do your skin and body a favor and give these a try. You will not regret it!
