How to improve skin condition with diet?
If you want to improve the condition of your complexion by simple, home methods, it is worth focusing not only on skin care treatments, but also on your daily diet. An effective diet for the skin should be rich in all the ingredients that the skin needs to function properly. And these are:
- B vitamins,
- vitamin C,
- vitamin A,
- vitamin E,
- vitamin D,
- vitamin K,
- zinc,
- iron,
- selenium,
- copper,
- iodine,
- complete proteins,
- omega 3 and 6 acids,
- antioxidants.
All these substances are important for our skin, so the diet for the complexion should not avoid such foods as:
- vegetables,
- greens (e.g. parsley, fresh spinach, botany, fresh herbs),
- fruits,
- meat,
- fish,
- nuts,
- grains (e.g. pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, linseed, chia),
- bran and cereals,
- cheese,
- eggs,
- milk and dairy products (e.g. kefir, yoghurt),
- unrefined vegetable oils (e.g. linseed oil, evening primrose oil, pumpkin seed oil).
Dietary supplements – additional help
Healthy nutrition is the basis in the fight to restore the appearance of the skin. Apart from a special diet for your complexion, drinking herbal infusions (e.g. from nettle or field horsetail) and using ready-made dietary supplements containing vitamins, minerals and extracts from precious medicinal plants may also be very helpful.
In case of acne-prone skin, grey and dull, overtired, prone to discolouration or eczema, it may also be a good idea to introduce a detoxifying treatment. Cleansing the body of residual harmful substances, which unfortunately have a large impact on the state of our skin, is the first step to its revitalization and improvement of appearance.
Noteworthy preparations that can help restore a healthy appearance of problematic skin are:
- Spirulin Plus
– a preparation with a strong detoxifying and deacidifying effect, which will help us improve the condition of our complexion.
- Nonacne
– a multi-component preparation for acne with multi-track action (antibacterial, exfoliating, cleansing and regenerating).
Healthier life, healthier complexion
Overwork, insomnia, stress, stimulants, exposing our complexion to harmful factors and lack of proper care certainly do not benefit our complexion. If we want to look better and eliminate skin imperfections, it is worth taking care of a healthier lifestyle and putting these few tips into practice:
- avoid stress;
- get enough sleep (about 8 hours);
- give up stimulants (including coffee, cigarettes, alcohol) or limit them to the minimum;
- try to stay in smoky rooms and any places with polluted air as little as possible;
- Take care of your physical form, get more activity, preferably outdoors;
