The Best Foods For Your Skin

Want to achieve a radiance glow without throwing money away for skincare products that don’t work? The key to healthy skin is in part due to your diet. After all, “you are what you eat”! Here are a few of the best foods for radiant skin and why they work:

Yogurt - Pick up some greek yogurt at the grocery store for a smoother complexion. The protein you receive from eating yogurt protects your skin from wrinkles. Take an extra step and apply a yoghurt soothing gel to the skin to cure irritations.

Dark Chocolate - We’ve heard it be said a few times. When you eat some chocolate that’s at least 70 percent cocoa, you can boost the levels of antioxidants in your diet. Plus, the caffeine in dark chocolate can temporarily reduce puffiness - perfect for those rough weeks at work!

Walnuts - Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to boost your skin's collagen production. Grab a handful as a snack before lunch or dinner and watch your complexion transform!

Green Tea - Beat winter redness with a cup of green tea, which helps to fight inflammation of the skin. Green tea is high in antioxidants, including EGCG, and has an overall calming effect on the body.  Steep daily for about 3 to 5 minutes and sup for the best results.

Incorporating these yummy foods into your diet is a sure way to promote healthier skin. And don’t forget to pamper yourself with facial treatments from Radiance Medspa! We believe that everyone’s skin deserves special treatment, which is why we offer a personalized skincare approach to help you look and feel nothing short of radiant!

Top Anti-Aging Foods

Do you want to keep your skin looking radiant and beautiful? We’re right there with you! Radiant-looking skin is something everyone wishing they can hold onto. Although aging is a natural progression, there are a few steps you can take to slow down the process of aging skin.

The first step is making small changes to your diet. Below are a few foods to help you eat your way to healthy, glowing skin:

Water. Water is a good choice for many reasons. Not only does it benefit your internal organs, but it also helps boost the elasticity in your skin that causes wrinkling. So what’s the number one secret to anti-aging? H20, and lots of it!

Vitamin C. When production of collagen in your skin starts to slow, that’s when it’s time to start consuming more Vitamin C. Oranges are an obvious choice. Other foods include red pepper, broccoli, and grapefruit.

Anthocyanin. This is a compound that gives fruit that dark color. But more importantly it’s an antioxidant that neutralizes cell-damaging free radicals, such as UV rays. Eating a handful of blueberries as a snack or adding a cupful to your yogurt can help you restore damaged, aging skin.

Healthy fat. Foods like avocados contain a healthy fat known as monounsaturated fat, which helps your skin stay hydrated. It can also help you absorb some of those collagen-producing vitamins you consume. So switch up that high-fat salad dressing for some delicious avocado and a drop of lemon for a healthy kick!

Making a few dietary changes is one way to achieve more youthful-looking skin. Another solution is Ultherapy, a non-surgical procedure designed to lift, tighten, and contour your skin. At Radiance Medspa, we believe that everyone deserves a personalized approach to skincare, which is why we will work with you to find the best method.
