Hydration leaves the skin soft and supple. Make sure to drink plenty of water after drinking caffeine, which further dehydrates the body. If you would prefer not sip on water consistently, you could even opt to hydrate yourself with fruits and vegetables that are packed with water.

Keeping a good skin care routine, such as cleansing daily and moisturizing consistently, is important all year round. But, it is also just as crucial to feed your skin from the inside out. How your skin looks on the outside is highly reflective of what you put in on the inside. Consuming the right foods and drinks will give you that youthful, fresh skin that you are seeking.

Fruits and vegetables not only hydrate the skin, but also contain nutrients that benefit the skin by keeping it youthful and radiant.

Although there is not much research as to whether or not the consumption of water improves the skin, there are clear overall benefits to staying hydrated.

According Women’s Health Magazine, Rachel Nazarian, M.D., states that “water makes a big difference in skin health. Without adequate water intake, skin appears duller, and wrinkles and pores more prominent.”

Vitamin A is a nutrient that protects the health of your eyes, but also enhances the health of your skin as well. According to Elle Magazine, it “regulates cell turnover in much the same way that a topical retinol-A does, albeit gentler.”

Vitamin A is found in papaya, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, collard greens, and much more.

Some fruits and vegetables also contain a nutrient called anthocyanins, which controls the formation of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. This is found in blueberries and red cabbages.

There are many more benefits from fruits and vegetables for your overall health and appearance.

Make it a goal to incorporate at least one fruit or vegetable with a meal daily. Your habits today will shape how you will look and feel in the future!
