Skincare is more than just what you put on your body. Taking care of your skin and investing energy into your beauty routine is best when taken through a holistic wellness approach. Everyone knows that using anti-aging beauty products can help repair damage to the skin and improve the complexion. But there is another side to skincare: eating the right foods.
Eating anti-inflammatory foods with high levels of antioxidants can do wonders for your skin, like reducing redness or pigmentation, restoring hydration and promoting a soft and bright complexion.
Blueberries are the best anti-inflammatory food you can eat to boost your skincare regimen. They have an extremely high antioxidant count and have been known to brighten and rejuvenate skin.
Key Benefits Of Blueberries For Skin
- Combat damage from free radicals and sun exposure to prevent premature aging
- Boost collagen production and improve circulation for a young-looking, bright complexion
- Reduce inflammation, redness and pigmentation
How To Get More Blueberries Into Your Diet
It is easy to find creative ways to incorporate blueberries into your diet. Plus, they are available year-round. The most simple way to get more blueberries is just by snacking on them plain. But you can also try throwing them into your meals, by adding them into yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast and into salads or protein bowls for lunch. You can also find chocolate-covered blueberries in a grocery store to indulge your sweet tooth while working on your skincare.
Other Anti-Inflammatory Foods To Try
Blueberries may be the most powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and antioxidant-rich food, but they're not the only one. You can also try strawberries, raspberries, fish, avocadoes and green tea to add more benefits to your diet.
