5 Foods that your skin will love

“Love the skin you're in"

MMany of us love pampering ourselves with facials to keep our skin glowing and healthy looking. But there is no denying that beautiful skin starts from within with the right nourishment. Your skin is the largest organ, and it’s quite a fantastic one too. Older skin cells are constantly being shed and replaced, which is also why your skin needs a steady supply of nutrients. Eating the right foods will help keep your skin soft, blemish-free and glowing.

Your skin loves a variety of different vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc, potassium, selen, omega-3 fatty acids. However, most of us don’t know which foods contain which vitamins and minerals, so we have broken it down for you in this blog post. While we are sharing five of our favorite foods for glowing, glorious skin, there are many other foods that your skin will love. Overall, your skin loves a healthy, nourishing and balanced diet rich in veggies and fruit, and you can quite literally eat (and drink) your way to glowing skin.

5 foods for glowing, radiant skin

Acerola

As mentioned, vitamin C is absolutely amazing for your skin. You probably already know that vitamin C is needed to support the immune system, but vitamin C also promotes radiant skin, helps blemishes heal and it may even out skin tone and reduce redness. Vitamin C is also key for producing collagen, which is the protein that helps keep your skin plump. Oranges are traditionally known for their high vitamin C content, but did you know that acerola cherries actually contain 30x more vitamin C than oranges?

Our Berry Blush Plantshake contains an abundance of acerola, so if you are looking for a quick, easy and convenient way to get your dose of acerola, Berry Blush will be your new best friend.

Strawberries

Our Berry Blush Plantshake also contains these glorious pink berries. Trust us, your skin will thank you for adding this beautiful pink cocktail to your daily routine.

Nuts

At Inika Superfoods we are nuts about nuts. Nuts contain an abundance of vitamins and minerals that are essential for skin health, such as zinc, certain fats that are great for your skin, vitamin E, and selenium. Nuts make for a great afternoon snack, toppings on salads or a scoop of nut butter in your morning smoothie or on your oatmeal. The options are endless.

Avocado

Avocados are another great skin food. You may have even seen face masks and other skincare products that contain avocado, and that’s with good reason. Avocados contain certain fats that act as a natural moisturizer for your skin, and they also contain a good dose of vitamin E, which is also an important vitamin for your skin. Vitamin E is important for protecting your skin from oxidative (cell) damage.

Sweet potatoes

Did you know that sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A? Vitamin A helps promote cell production, it helps give you an even skin tone, smooth wrinkles and clear up acne. Vitamin A is an absolute must when it comes to keeping your skin happy and glowing, making sweet potatoes one of the most amazing skin foods there is.
