Get glowing skin naturally


We all know that fresh fruits and vegetables are a storehouse of vitamins and minerals that are important for our body.


Yet, most of us prefer opting for creams and other artificial treatments. So instead of splurging money on products that may or may not help you get beautiful skin, why not get better results by simply eating healthy!


1. Eat Vitamin A rich foods like papaya, peaches, carrot, green leafy vegetables etc. They increase resistance and support skin growth.


2. Vitamin C rich foods such as lime, awla, oranges, guava, spinach, etc help in collagen synthesis, which holds skin cells together. They promote clear skin and a fresh complexion. Fresh fruits and vegetables juices are amazing option to provide vitamins and minerals to skin which are directly absorbed through blood stream and keeps you hydrated.


3. Tomatoes are very rich in lycopene - which acts as an antioxidant that protects skin from internal damage.


4. Whole grains, cereals, almonds, walnuts are very rich in Vitamin E, which makes our skin soft, smooth and supple.


5. In winter we don't feel like drinking water but make it a point to drink loads of water as water flushes out toxins and maintains skin elasticity.


6. Avoid intake of excessive tea/coffee as it dehydrates the skin and blocks the absorption of nutrients making the skin look dull and dry. Instead consume green tea which is an excellent skin rejuvenator and antioxidant.


7. Exercise regularly as it improves blood flow throughout the body.
