Were you aware the delicious everyday food choices help boost the health of your skin? We took some time to list them out for you! Please save and share- as you never know who this could help!
Tomatoes. These awesome little red orbs contains lycopene, which is a potent antioxidant which helps to protect the skin from ultraviolet damage.
Carrots contain high levels of beta carotene (precursor to Vitamin A), which may help decrease oil production in the skin.
Avocados! As if we needed another reason to love them, #AMIRIGHT? These contain Vitamins A, D & E (aka. the *good fats*) and phytonutrients - all antioxidants!
Olive Oil is loaded with polyphenols, which act as antioxidants to scavenge those damaging free radicals (unstable molecules that can damage the cells in your body).
Berries! We are granting you official permission to dig in to blackberries, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and strawberries! These little loves are loaded with Vitamin A and C, which are powerful antioxidants that also support collagen production. The Vitamin K may help speed up the healing of bruises.
Sardines. Not the best snack prior to a date, but these little fish nuggets have high levels of omega 3’s to help combat inflammation. Fun fact: the small bones are a rich source of calcium. Again, save these for a night in- or a day alone.
