7 Foods for Youthful Glowing Skin

June 29, 2021

We all know that the beauty market is overwhelming when it comes to products that all promise to magically change the quality of our skin. We’ve all been bombarded by creams and serums that claim they’ll erase your wrinkles and give you the youthful glow you’ve been searching for. Yes, these products can help to improve the appearance of our skin. But the issue is, you must also take care of your skin from the inside to really reap the benefits of what you put on the outside.

Incorporating different foods into your daily diet can work wonders for tired, aging skin. These foods can help you achieve a healthy youthful glow. Incorporating these foods into your diet will do your body and your skin a load of good. Most of these foods are also good for your heart health, so that’s even more reason to eat them.

7 Foods for Youthful Glowing Skin

1. Avocados

Number one on the list is extremely popular. Avocados not only taste amazing, they’re versatile enough to add to a ton of different recipes. You can put them in salads, spread them on toast, or even add avocado into your morning smoothie to make it creamier (you can’t taste it, I promise). Avocados are full of healthy fats that are essential for keeping skin flexible and moisturized, not to mention they’re full of antioxidants and vitamins to give you that healthy glow.

2. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are packed full of beta-carotene, a nutrient found in plants that can act as a natural UV protector. We all know that sun ages skin, so adding plenty of sweet potatoes into your diet can help reduce the aging effects of too much sun exposure.

3. Green Tea

Most people are aware that green tea is awesome for you because it’s FULL of antioxidants. Antioxidants not only help to rid your body of free radicals, but a particular type of antioxidant found in Green Tea (called polyphenols) help to protect collagen, the main protein associated with youthful, springy skin.

4. Leafy Greens

A lot of people shy away from eating leafy green every day because they can be boring and difficult to incorporate into your diet. But get inventive in the kitchen and find a way to include them as often as possible, because they’ll work wonders for your skin! They’re filled with a spectrum of vitamins and antioxidants that give the body and skin a healthy boost and a beautiful glow.

5. Kombucha (or other fermented foods)

A big key to healthy skin is having a healthy gut microbiome. If your body is doing well on the inside, it’ll show on the outside. Keeping your gut happy by consuming probiotics daily can work wonders by helping to hydrate your skin, prevent breakouts, and even reduce signs of aging. You can get probiotics from a variety of sources, such as yogurt with live active cultures, kombucha, or kimchi.

6. Foods high in Fatty Acids

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are the building blocks of healthy cell membranes. Regularly consuming foods high in fatty acids (such as fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts) can keep skin looking moisturized, smooth, and healthy. Salmon is a weekly staple in my own diet.

7. Tomatoes

You’re probably happy to see tomatoes on this list, because they’re one of the easiest vegetables to work with. Not only are they versatile to cook with, but they’re one of the best sources of lycopene; an antioxidant known for its anti-aging benefits.

Conclusion: If you want healthy, glowing, youthful skin, try focusing more on what you put into your body in combination with the products you put onto it. We all love a good serum or moisturizer, and there’s no harm in trying new skincare products or repurchasing old favorites but switching up your diet to help maintain beautiful skin is a change well worth making. In my opinion, including foods for youthful glowing skin as part of a healthy lifestyle is a no-brainer.

    When I changed my diet and started eating super clean a year later people were actually telling that I look much prettier. Glowing, flawless skin, thick shiny hair. People were asking me to tell them my skin care routine. ( I didn’t have one ). People were actually asking me if I had fillers or some work done on me. It’s funny, people spend so much money on skin care products but ignore their diet. I used to be the same. Diet prevents wrinkles and body aging as well. My skin started looking more plump and full and I started looking younger. I’d rather invest in a good diet and supplements now than expensive skin care.

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
