Taking care of your skin isn't just about putting on the right moisturizer and cleaning with the right makeup removers and cleansers. The road to a clear and healthy skin consists of many more different steps and ways, and I will go through all of these steps with you guys through this blog. One of the steps to a healthy skin is eating and drinking certain fruits and vegetables!
Basically, what these fruits, or rather the antioxidants that they carry do for your skin is repairing and preventing damage done to your skin tissue. Antioxidants slow down or even prevent oxidation that's caused by free radicals. Oxidation is a process that causes damage from oxygen, possibly leading to cell dysfunction. A good example of this process is when you cut an apple in half and watch it for a couple minutes. You'll see the apple turning brown on the inside. That's oxidation! Now I'm not saying that if you don't eat enough antioxidants your skin will turn brown and mushy, but still, it's best to get some in your system every now and then!
Also, these antioxidant-rich fruits help to protect your skin against damage done by the sun. Especially tomatoes are good for this. It protects your skin against the sun from the inside out, guarding your cells from damage. Amazing, right?
The antioxidant vitamins also encourage cell and skin-tissue growth, basically supporting your body in repairing itself. And since they encourage cell growth they're also a good way to minimize wrinkles and lines!
Now I'm sure after reading all this you feel like stuffing yourself with strawberries and other delicious fruits, but please be aware of the following facts! Even though antioxidants are naturally good for you, too much is never good, and if you over do it it can cause you to get a headache or do other damage, so please be careful!
Take care and stay healthy,
May.
