It's no secret that your diet has an impact on your skin.

Before spending hundreds of dollars on pricey skincare, consider filling your grocery cart with these skin-loving ingredients.

Foods That Hydrate Skin

Coconut 

Nourishing, moisturizing, and softening, coconut contains vitamins A and E which can help calm redness and dryness.

Avocado 

Avocado—which is not only good for the skin, but also for hair and nails—is an ideal three-in-one snack. An excellent source of vitamin E and essential fats, avocado helps to moisturize the skin.

Cucumber

Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, cucumber helps to reduce inflammation in addition to hydrating and firming the skin. Don't forget the nutrient-dense skin!

Eggs

Egg yolk is ideal for nourishing and evening out skin tone. The white, on the other hand, can tighten pores, prevent acne, and limit sebum production.

Foods With Anti-Aging Properties

Red Fruits

Strawberries, blackcurrants, raspberries, and redcurrants are small but mighty. They all promote cell regeneration and skin repair. 

Blueberries

Jam-packed with antioxidants, blueberries help stimulate collagen production, which can contribute to supple skin. 

Plum

With a high concentration of vitamin C and antioxidants, plums help to naturally regenerate the skin and prevent the appearance of wrinkles.

Oranges

Oranges are known to relax and soothe the skin in addition to lifting it, slowing down cell deterioration, and preventing the appearance of wrinkles. The secret? Vitamin C!

Foods That Make Your Skin Glow

Goji Berries

Considered a superfruit, these berries are packed with vitamins and nutrients. They help to keep your skin fresh, bright, and radiant. 

Foods That Purify The Skin

Lemon

Lemon has a high amount of vitamin C, which helps purify and sanitize the skin, regulate sebum, and fight against certain imperfections. It can also brighten your complexion and help reduce dark spots.

Tomato

Tomatoes can help purify the skin, reduce blackheads, and treat certain blemishes. Vitamins A and C work to control the amount of sebum produced.
