Nutrition & skin: the nutrients that boost natural radiance
Our skin reflects what we consume daily. Far beyond cosmetics, diet plays a fundamental role in the quality, texture, and radiance of our complexion. Beauty begins on the plate: it is built from within, through a regular intake of vitamins, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and trace elements that nourish the skin cell by cell.
The fundamental role of antioxidants
Free radicals, generated by stress, pollution, or a poor diet, accelerate skin aging. To counteract this, it's essential to rely on natural antioxidants :
-
Vitamin C (citrus fruits, kiwi, bell pepper): boosts collagen production, brightens the complexion,
-
Vitamin E (almonds, avocado, sunflower oil): protects cells and strengthens the skin barrier.
-
Beta-carotene (carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach): gives radiance to the complexion, acts as a natural shield against UV rays.
The right fats for supple skin
Skin needs quality lipids to remain supple, plump, and well-hydrated. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential:
-
Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines),
-
Flax and chia seeds,
-
Cold-pressed nuts and vegetable oils.
They strengthen the cell membrane, reduce skin inflammation and contribute to skin elasticity.
Hydration and microbiota balance
Beautiful skin is also skin that is well hydrated from within. Drinking enough water is essential, but you also need to think about the balance of the gut microbiota , which is closely linked to skin health.
Favor:
-
Fermented foods (kefir, sauerkraut, plant-based yogurt),
-
Fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains),
-
Limited consumption of refined sugar and processed products.
