We all know that what we put in our bodies is just as important for our skin as what we put on them. Thankfully in the warmer seasons, we’ve got ample options when it comes to skin-healthy foods that are going to help your complexion look its best.
To stay glowing from the inside, these tasty treats have little to no prep time and can be purchased at any grocery store. They are high in vitamins and antioxidants and will leave your summer skin glowing from the inside!
Tomatoes
Is there anything more tasty than a ripe, summer fresh tomato? Turns out they’re not only delicious but they’re also a great source of antioxidants, especially lycopene which helps protect skin from the sun. Lycopene can also cure dark spots, lines, dryness and rough skin.
Not only are tomatoes good for protecting skin from sun damage but they work wonders at reversing it too. Applying raw tomato to your face will dimish dark spots and wrinkles and leave your skin looking years younger.
Coconut Oil
Did you know that cooking with coconut oil is one of the most healthy and safe oils you can use? Coconut has tons of benefits for the body, skin, and hair but did you know that it can be used both topically and internally to eliminate wrinkles?!
Coconut oil has been proven by experts to rebuild connective tissues on and inside the body which are often the cause of deep wrinkles. By cooking with coconut oil (and even using it to moisturize your body!) you’re getting all the benefits of coconut oil and helping return your skin to its wrinkle-free glory.
Cherry
When we think of cherries, we always this of summer! This tasty stone fruit can work wonders on your skin thanks to a high dose of vitamin C and potassium which are essential for healthy skin.
Vitamin C from eating cherries will help get the collagen production in your skin up and will help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. The best part about this skincare superfood is that it’s great to travel with to work, the beach or the park this summer. Getting great skin on the go has never been easier!
