We all want healthy glowing skin, but glowing skin isn't created only by skin care products. It's also built from what you put on your plate. And that's something a lot of people tend to overlook.

So today we will be talking about how to eat your skinincare and the foods you can start adding to your diet for healthier, more radiant skin. And so let's get right into it, starting with healthy fats. These are essential for that soft, glowing skin because they help lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated.

So, if your skin is constantly dry, it could be a sign that you're not getting enough healthy fats in your diet. Because yes, drinking water is essential for hydration, but what you eat matters just as much for healthy, glowing skin. Some of the best sources of healthy fats are avocados.

Avocados are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats that help keep your skin soft and hydrated. They're also rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, which protect your skin from premature aging and the appearance of fine lines. Olive oil is another powerhouse for healthy skin.

It's also packed with monounsaturated fats. It's rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, and you can easily include it by drizzling it on salads or using it in cooking instead of refined oils. Fatty fish such as salmon and sardines are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation in the body and help improve skin elasticity, which makes them perfect for maintaining youthful complexion.

And so, eating them a few times a week, two to three times a week, is more than enough to really see a difference in your skin. Chia seeds might be small, but they're packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and you can easily sprinkle them on your oatmeal. You can make a chia pudding for a healthy snack, or you can even add them to your salads.

To stay in the theme of keeping your skin hydrated and glowy, the next foods to include are water rich foods. Just by their name, you can already tell these are foods that are naturally high in water content. And because they're so rich in water, they help hydrate your body and skin.

Some great options include cucumber. Cucumber is over 90% water, which makes it super hydrating for your skin. It's also full of vitamins and minerals that nourish your skin and help reduce puffiness.

You can eat it raw, you can add it to salads, or you can even apply it to your skin. I've seen a bunch of beauty trend videos where people use frozen cucumber as a gouacha. It hydrates the skin.

It has so many benefits, and I think it could also be a great alternative to the traditional gouacha tool if you don't have one. Watermelon not only tastes so delicious, but it's also full of water and it's super hydrating for your skin. Plus, it can be the perfect refreshing treat to help you cool down during the summer.

Any type of citrus fruit is also amazing for keeping your skin moisturized. They're also packed with vitamin C, which helps support collagen production. Berries are about 85 to 90% water.

They're packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, and they taste amazing, so it's easy to add them to your meals or snacks. Another crucial category for healthy, glowing skin is protein. Your skin is mostly made of proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin which keep it firm, elastic, and smooth.

But as we age, our body starts producing less of them. And so eating foods rich in protein is key to support their production and keep your skin firm and youthful. And so with that in mind, let's take a look at some proteinpacked foods.

Eggs are a complete protein, meaning they contain all the essential amino acids your body needs to support collagen and elastin production. Chicken is also a great protein choice. It's rich in amino acids that help your body make skin proteins, and it's also very easy to include in your meals since there are so many different and delicious recipes you can make.

Bone broth is full of collagen and amino acids as well that help keep your skin firm, elastic, and healthy. You can drink it on its own, or you can use it as a base for your soups and stews. Another great category for glowing skin is fermented foods.

Healthy skin starts with a healthy gut. And fermented foods are rich in probiotics which essentially act as the good bacteria that support a healthy and balanced gut. Sauerkraut is a great example of a fermented food.

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage full of probiotics that help balance your gut bacteria and support digestion. It's a historic and well-known part of German food culture, which people used for centuries to preserve cabbage and get key nutrients. It's also preferable to make your own at home since homemade sauerkraut usually has more of the good bacteria than store-bought ones.

Kimchi is a spicy fermented Korean dish, mostly made from cabbage that's full of probiotics that supports gut health. And with regular eating, it can really give your skin that healthy glow. Now, it's easy to see why Korean women have such glowing and beautiful skin with all the kimchi in their diet.

Kombucha is a lightly fermented tea, usually made from green or black tea. It's packed with probiotics and antioxidants. And it was first made in ancient China.

And it was known as the tea of immortality because people believed in its healing properties. And it really does have amazing benefits. Not only does it taste so good, but it also supports digestion and can do wonders for your skin.

Kefir is also a fermented milk drink loaded with probiotics. And it's super versatile. You can drink it on its own.

You can add it to smoothies or even pour it over cereal. And last but not least, we have vitamin A rich foods. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is considered the gold standard for skin care.

The main benefit of vitamin A rich foods is that they help your skin stay bright and clear by promoting cell renewal and reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a smooth, radiant complexion. Some great examples to add are carrots. Carrots are loaded with betaarotene, which is a form of vitamin A your body uses for skin health.

Sweet potatoes are also high in vitamin A. They help even out your skin tone and reduce dullness. Mango isn't just a summer favorite.

It's a glow booster. It's packed with vitamin A and antioxidants that help fade dark spots and brighten your skin. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are also rich in vitamin A.

You can include them in your salads or you can mix them into a green detox smoothie to give your skin a natural glow from within. While nourishing your skin with healthy foods is important, it's equally key to limit items that can cause inflammation, such as sugary drinks and overly processed snacks. Because over time, you literally become what you eat, and your skin shows exactly what you put into your body.
