Not all fats are bad!
Usually when we hear of fatty foods we automatically assume they are bad and we want to avoid them at all costs. However, there are healthy fats and knowing what these are will benefit your skin and overall health. Healthy fats work by maintaining healthy cell membranes by protecting them from any damaging waste products. This means that cells are healthier and able to retain water - in turn giving you more hydrated and flexible skin.
Healthy fat foods -
- Avocados
- Dark Chocolate
- Fatty Fish
Adding these foods into your diet along with our vegan-friendly Aloe & Rose healthy hydration mask will allow them to work together to provide your skin elasticity and deep moisture.
Vitamin E
Foods rich in Vitamin E will work as an antioxidant to your skin - in other words, clean out all the bad stuff. Our body takes in toxins, so introducing Vitamin E into your skincare will help prevent skin damage and reduce inflammation. It's also great at keeping the skin youthful.
