I know it is a very long time since I have written an article, but it is one of the hardest months on the skin so I knew I had to address the issue. As a skin care professional I even get very frustrated in October because I know how the weather and environment can be on the skin and hair. You may experience dead skin, dry skin, hair shedding and that is not so fun.
It is very important to take care of your skin on the outside, but to also know what to put in your body so you are taking care of your skin from the inside so it shows on the outside. I just want to give a few tips on how to take care of your skin on the outside and a few things you can eat and drink to help your skin glow.

Oily fish such as sardines, tuna and salmon are good sources of EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) Omega-3 and Omega-6. You need these oils not only for your inside health but it produces natural oils to come to the surface of the skin and that is needed especially in the colder season.

These foods contain antioxidants: berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants); black grapes; Brazil nuts; broccoli; carrots; cherries; chestnuts; hazelnuts; kale; raisins; papaya; peas; peppers; prunes; spinach; sweet potatoes and tomatoes. We need antioxidants to keep our skin plump and elastic, (better than getting botox injections right?) Not only that but antioxidants include vitamins A, C and E, some of the B complex vitamins.

The best drink for your skin is a cocktail of pure water! There are debates of should it be tap, bottled, or fancy water…Well…the answer is if the tap water is fine in your home and doesn’t have contaminants then tap it is. Some of us aren’t that lucky and have to drink bottled water. Just make sure you look at the ingredients and make sure it is pure water. Green Teas protect from free radicals from the environment. Roobios Teas are proven for such conditions as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. Make sure to check the labels on the tea.
Always remember everyone’s skin is different and not a single person’s skin is built the same so it is very important that you take care of your skin accordingly! Take time for yourself!
