At Carvajal Aesthetic Clinic we have published numerous articles about the impact that the foods we eat have on the health and beauty of our skin.
To favor its protective function against external aggressions to which our skin is exposed almost permanently, we need to consume vitamins and minerals with antioxidant properties daily; and to enhance perspiration and elimination of toxins through the skin, we need to hydrate it daily, both from the inside and outside.
The keys to a healthy diet for our skin, and of course for our body in general, are the use of fresh and seasonal products and the abundance and diversity of those of plant origin: fruits, cereals, legumes and vegetables.
A diet adjusted to these patterns will ensure an adequate supply of nutrients to our skin and thus it will be possible to keep it healthy and beautiful. However, depending on the skin type, needs may vary and it may be advisable to increase the proportion of certain nutrients. Let’s see what is advisable in each case:
Combination Skin
Combination skin, as you know, is a combination of oily and dry skin and therefore usually presents the same problems associated with each.
If this is your skin type, it is advisable to include nuts and seeds in your diet, whose antioxidant properties and high content of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids will help improve its health.
Vegetables rich in beta-carotene, such as orange, red and green fruits and vegetables, carrots, pumpkins, melons… are also highly recommended, as they contribute to the good condition of the deeper layers of the skin and thus improve its firmness and smoothness.
Dry Skin
Dry skin is characterized by its low hydration level. Therefore, it is essential to drink at least two liters of water a day, including of course the amount contained in infusions, soups or broths.
Fresh fruits and vegetables will also help you maintain an adequate hydration level and, thanks to their high vitamin and antioxidant content, will improve the health and luminosity of your skin.
Oily Skin
One of its fundamental problems, and probably the one that most worries people who have it, is excess sebum secretion, which gives the skin an unwanted, excessively shiny, moist and greasy appearance.
A proper diet is essential to keep this problem at bay. Your diet must not lack fiber-rich foods or diuretics. The latter favor the elimination of toxins and thus help cleanse the body. Leafy greens, asparagus, artichokes, citrus fruits, cereals, legumes and red berries are especially recommended.
Finally, it is especially important to avoid the consumption of saturated fats, as these would significantly worsen the problem.
