“FOODS THAT BEAUTY EXPERTS SWEAR WILL GIVE YOU CLEARER SKIN.”

If you are looking to enhance your skin complexion, I recommend the following foods;

Avocado

Avocados are a blessing to our skin and general health. They contain antioxidants, including vitamin E that attack free radicals with the potential to harm the skin. They also have monosaturated fats, which keep your body’s cholesterol low. Consuming them helps hydrate your skin. As a result, your skin is safe from damage, and its aging process slows down. I always tell my clients to combine avocados in other meals, including roasted potatoes or making smoothies.

Eggs

I love eggs because of the multiple preparation methods used and several health benefits. For instance, I can bake, fry, or boil to consume. Eggs are filled with protein for repairing and firming the skin. They also have lutein that improves the skin’s elasticity and hydration, leaving you with admirable youthful skin.

Leafy veggies

Leafy green vegetables generally offer the body cellular nourishment. They are filled with prebiotics that promote great gut health by increasing the good bacteria. This helps recover microbiomes, resulting in positive skin influence. You can prepare and consume them as salads or other cooking methods.
