Guide To Superfoods For Natural Skincare

Seafood

Most types of seafood are fairly beneficial for the skin. The claim is fish, such as salmon, trout, and tuna, are particularly powerful. Oysters and crab are also said to be helpful. This is because seafood like fish contains omega-3 fatty acids as well as zinc. Zinc helps soothe irritated skin and reduce the production of oil, which may help get rid of acne. Omega-3 fatty acids are said to protect the skin from toxins, reduce damage from sun exposure, keep the skin cells hydrated, and repair skin damage. They are also supposed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging. However, individuals with serious skin issues will need to consume a high amount of seafood regularly to achieve any serious benefits.

Citrus Fruit

Vitamin C is the oldest natural remedy for the common cold out there. It does not necessarily prevent a cold from happening, but it can help an individual’s immune system function better in most cases. However, many individuals may not know there are also skin health claims attached to vitamin C. Vitamin C is supposed to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and sometimes get rid of dark spots. Unfortunately, many commercial products made with vitamin C are quite harsh on the skin.

This is why many individuals turn to citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges for their vitamin C skincare needs. These foods are best ingested, though, because pure juice from these fruits can damage the skin, and make it sensitive and dry. Some individuals find, however, mixing the juice from a lemon with some honey helps keep it from hurting their skin when it’s applied as a mask. Eating citrus fruits, including grapefruit, is the best way to get the power of these superfoods for the skin.
