Dark Chocolate

Chocolate is not just a mood booster; it is also a skin booster! Dark chocolate with minimum 70 percent cocoa provides sun protection because it contains flavonoids. Flavonoids are plant natural compounds which have strong antioxidant properties.

 

Green Tea

Most green tea contains ECGC. This substance is mainly responsible for the positive impact on your skin. ECGC has two important characteristics. Firstly, it works anti-inflammatory and secondly, it prevents skin damage after sun exposure. A 2-3 percent green tea extract has a preventative effect on the appearance of wrinkles. This is mostly thanks to the photoprotective effect green tea has.

 

Non-dairy Milk

Milk has shown to stimulate sebum production, which can lead to acne. Even though sebum is necessary for a healthy skin, too much or too little sebum can cause skin problems. Milk plays a significant role here.

 

Fish

Fish has many health benefits. It is good for heart and blood vessels and contains many vitamins. But besides that, it is also proven to be good for your skin.

 

Avocados

Walnuts

Walnuts aren’t just a delicious and healthy snack; they are also great to improve the health of your skin. Walnuts are a great source of essential fatty acids, which are acids your body cannot produce itself.

Leafy Vegetables

Leafy greens like kale and spinach aren’t just must-haves for your morning juice. Kale, for example, is high in phytonutrients. Phytonutrients work both as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
