Not only does fresh produce help improve your complexion, but consuming it can be a great way to manage your diet, meet daily requirements for fruits and vegetables and of course, keep your beauty treatment budget in check.
Carrots: You may have heard rumors that carrots help improve your night vision, but less common is the fact that carrots help to prevent dry skin. They contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A to give your skin moisture and glow. Carrots are also a good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that mops up free radicals, such as those produced by overexposure to the sun and lead to premature aging of skin. Vitamin C also aids in skin collagen formation, which decreases as we age.
Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes contain vitamin E, which help the body regenerate and maximize the effectiveness vitamin C. Foods that contain high quantities of vitamin C and vitamin E are very effective antioxidants for skin protection.
Mangoes: Mangoes are said to contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals. Natural mango ingredients have a built-in fruit acid enzyme profile and contain Beta-Carotene and vitamin A derivatives that activate cell turnover.
Mushrooms: One of the only sources of natural vitamin D, mushrooms contain antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory properties. This helps keep the skin strong and youthful, as inflammation plays a role in aging and potentially can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer.These are just a few of millions of food that can get you the body(skin) you desire. i for one cannot swallow mushroom even if you will pay me to eat it but i have discovered ways to make it fun.
