If you have sensitive skin you may find that many of the treatments you try on your skin are too harsh. While other women are buying skin care products with vitamin C and anti-oxidants, you are using the mild brand with no anti-aging benefits.
What can be done about this? How can you, a person with sensitive skin, get the same great benefits that women are getting from their fancy products? Skip the outside and start with the inside.
Stop applying that irritating anti-aging product on your face and eat your skin care product instead. I don’t mean you should eat that store-bought lotion. However, there are effective ingredients in the grocery store that may be what you’re looking for.
Your skin is your largest organ. Therefore, the benefits of eating anti-aging ingredients will be similar to applying them directly to your skin. Here are some food items that have benefits for your sensitive skin:
Green tea: There are many skin care products now that contain green tea. However, they often contain ingredients that you may be sensitive to. Instead of using those products, drink the green tea and have the same effects on your skin. The bonus is you will benefit every other part of your body as well. Green tea has been shown to improve weight loss, lower cholesterol, and possibly lower the risk of cancer.
Cucumbers: Your diet affects the overall appearance of your skin. When you improve your diet with more vegetables rich in anti-oxidants your skin will thank you. Adding vegetables like cucumbers to your diet has the added benefit of helping with weight loss, improving digestion, and increasing energy. Those are all good things!
Vitamin C: Eating fruits and vegetables that are rich in Vitamin C is one way to add all those anti-oxidants to your skin care routine. Hydrating your skin is also important and when you eat more fruits and vegetables, you’ll also be improving the moisture of your skin – naturally. Food is the one true all-natural beauty product.
Never forget that your skin is your largest organ. Whether you’re putting skin care products on it, or feeding it from the inside with nutritious food, your skin will show the efforts you make. If you have sensitive skin or not, choosing to use these healthy foods to improve your skin will show – on your skin and in your wallet. No more fancy lotions, just head to the grocery store.
