With the return of sunny days, do you dream of a sunny complexion now? A nutritionist reveals a natural method to enhance your skin and prolong your shine all year round.
Food plays a major role in the appearance of the skin. Several nutrients promote a brighter complexion and better protection against external aggressions. The nutritionist Raphaël Gruman recalls in a video Tiktok: “When you expose yourself to the sun, UV rays will damage the cells of your skin and cause free radicals. To fight against it, you have to bring antioxidants that we will find in food and which will protect your skin from UV rays.” In other words, what you put on your plate can have an effect on your epidermis.
First of all, well hydrated skin will further reflect light and present a more flexible texture. This of course goes through sufficient consumption of water, but also through the supply of good fats. The latter help maintain the elasticity of the skin and limit dehydration. They are found in particular in nuts and vegetable oils, two foods rich in fatty acids. In addition, for a brilliant epidermis, it is crucial to bring to your body the nutrients which help it to fight against oxidation and skin aging. Vitamin E, for example, is a powerful antioxidant present in almonds and hazelnuts. The omega-3s, contained in fatty fish and flax seeds, also contribute to the hydration of the skin and strengthen its elasticity. As for zinc, it plays a protective role against skin inflammation and promotes cell regeneration. It is found in oysters, red meat and legumes.
In addition to these foods promoting hydration and the sparkle of the skin, others naturally stimulate the production of melanin, this pigment responsible for the coloring of the skin. Its production is stimulated by an amino acid, Tyrosine, present in particular in three specific foods: lawyer, banana and almonds. Rich in Tyrosine, they support a tanned complexion while bringing essential nutrients to the health of your skin.
By consuming them regularly, you will display a subtle tan without resorting to self -tanning creams. A simple and effective way to keep a good face all year round.
