Aim for a delicious balance, after all, a nutrient-rich diet forms the foundation of healthy skin. Focus on consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Supplements often connected to summer skin care
Vitamin A is often associated with skin renewal. Retinoids, including retinol, are derivatives of vitamin A and are known for their skin rejuvenating properties. You find them mostly in skincare products, but you can also obtain vitamin A from food sources which include: liver, eggs, dairy products, sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and kale.
Resveratrol is another natural compound with potential anti-aging benefits. It is commonly associated with red wine, but is also found in other food sources like grapes, berries, peanuts, and dark chocolate. Resveratrol’s effectiveness in skin care is still being studied, but adding in these foods in moderation can provide taste, enjoyment and other health benefits.
