Eating for Healthy Glowing Skin

If you’ve tried dozens of topical remedies, but are still struggling to achieve healthy skin, try

incorporating the below foods into your diet, according to your skin type. In addition to positive consumption, an important element in eating for your skin type includes the foods you should limit or avoid altogether.

As you increase recommended foods, try to decrease the consumption of the foods listed at the bottom of the article and watch your skin move even more quickly into balance.

1. dry skin

Dry, flaky, and cracked skin can be really painful. If you have extremely dry skin, you know what I am talking about. In fact, your skin can look dull and malnourished not only during winters but also in summers.

In contrast, dry skin is lucky because when you get the oil nourishment in balance these skin types typically have flawless looking skin with nearly invisible pores!

Try increasing your intake of the below foods to support your skin's oil production from the inside out and get that envy-worthy porcelain looking skin.

BEST FOODS FOR DRY SKIN

•     Olive Oil, Sesame Oil
•     Berries (all)
•     Bananas
•     Yellow Bell Peppers
•     Pumpkin, Sweet Potatoes
•     Salmon, Trout, Halibut, Sardines

2. oily skin

Oily skin can show its character in the form of spots, blemishes and pimples as well as visible pores and shine. Causes of the above conditions can include volatile hormones, incompatible cosmetics plus poor diet.

This skin type has a huge perk to counterbalance all the challenges with keeping the oil in check; oily skin ages significantly slower the other skin types due to all the extra oil nourishment within the skin. Wonderful, right?

To balance the shine and breakouts of oily skin try consuming the below, avoiding the items at the bottom of the article all together to get your skin clear and glowing an envy-worthy amount.

3. normal skin

We know there's no such thing as normal, but a normal skin type has a characteristic even tone and is not overly dry or oily. From time to time you may experience oiliness on your chin, nose and forehead or dryness on your cheeks, lips and around your eye contour area.

Generally, this skin type can handle a little bit of everything. Everything in moderation along with a consistent routine will keep this easy to care for skin type at its most optimum glowing state.

4. sensitive skin

Sensitive skin has fine pores, can be easily irritated and is prone to redness because, for one reason or another, the barrier function of the skin has been compromised. Sensitive skin is often genetic and can also react to poor diet, changes in weather, hormonal imbalance and certain cosmetic products.

Sensitive skin must be treated with the correct skin care products that are gentle and soothing to heal your skin and relieve your symptoms.

If you’re blessed with sensitive skin that reacts to everything, take heart to be gentle with yourself: caring for sensitive skin internally with calming foods and externally with gentle care will give the most balanced, clear and soothed skin results.

BEST FOODS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

•     Asparagus•     Kale•     Tomatoes•     Olive Oil
•     Flaxseed•     Oranges•     Green Tea•     Avocado•     Apples•     Berries

In addition to the foods you want to proactively seek out, it is recommended that all skin types experiencing an imbalanced state try avoiding the following items.

top foods to avoid:

•     Wheat
•     Dairy
•     Sugar
•     Soy
•     Processed foods

I have tested out the theory that cow dairy triggers inflammation and acne in my skin. It is a repeatedly proven fact for my skin at this point. I still eat dairy, at moderate to minimal amounts, but now I am not frustrated or confused about how I get the breakout when it comes.

In contrast, I increase water intake and reach for oily skin balancing foods, like green tea and cucumbers, when I have eaten dairy, to balance out the inevitable inflammation and acne flare-ups. This is a great example of how the above knowledge could empower you to eat for your skin type and get optimal results without having to eliminate the foods you love completely.
