FOOD WITH BEAUTY POWER

A fresh complexion is also a matter of nutrition. Because berries and nuts make us look great. We show what should be on the menu more often.

Carrots for the glow

The complexion is pale and pale? Then you should nibble a few carrots more often! With their carotenoids (these are natural dyes) they give the skin a golden undertone. With daily consumption, the healthy glow shows up after around two months.

Berry power against wrinkles

Free radicals (e.g. due to stress, environmental toxins) are largely responsible for early skin aging. Rich in antioxidants, berries slow them down. The following applies: the darker the better. 

Yogurt tightens the skin

A low-protein diet literally makes us look old. Because: Proteins are important for the construction of collagen fibers. And they keep the skin taut and elastic. Ideal: in the evening (!) Eat a low-fat yogurt or drink a glass of milk.

Nuts & Co provide moisture

Dry skin? Then go for vitamin E! The natural skin moisturizer keeps the complexion smooth and occurs mainly in fish, nuts, olive oil and avocados.

Kiwis against pigment spots

Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays an important role in the formation of pigment spots. In short: the vitamin fades the dark spots. A lot of it is in citrus and sea buckthorn.

Tomato as sun protection

Tomatoes, even canned ones, increase the skin's self-protection against UV rays. If you eat about 300 grams a day, you will achieve sun protection factor 2. So sunscreen is still a must!
