Summers often impact skin health, making it crucial to take special measures to ensure optimal skin health. As a seasoned skin expert, I advocate for a holistic approach that balances internal and external skincare practices. One of my top recommendations to clients is adopting balanced eating habits, as beauty truly emanates from feeling good inside and out. Here are a few effective ways to maintain excellent skin health during changing weather:
Almonds: Almonds are a nutrient-dense nut. They are the source of around 15 nutrients such as magnesium, protein, riboflavin, zinc, etc.Almonds contain healthy fats and vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) which have been shown to impart anti-aging properties that may benefit skin health. The best part is these nuts are versatile and can be incorporated in so many creative ways into your diet. Roast them, add slivered almonds over your smoothies and oatmeal, and toss them in your salad there are just so many ways-go creative and experiment!
Sprouts: Sprouts can be your go-to snacking option. Have them as your evening snack or during office breaks. They are rich in phytonutrients along with vitamins and minerals. A general Google search will give you so many options. From salads to wraps include this nutritious option in your diet and elevate your culinary experience.
Vitamin C-rich fruits: Add fruits like oranges, grapes, and strawberries - You could create a fruit bowl using your preferred fruits. To make it more interesting, you can add garnishes such as almonds. A blend of vitamins E and C can aid in the activation of vitamin E, which can safeguard the skin against chemical irritants and UV-induced irritation.
