Working from the inside out by improving your complexion with balancing foods

Eating foods that comes from "clean" sources helps reduce our intake of toxins-
Every day the skin is bombarded with oxidative stress from processed foods, environmental toxins and UV rays along with other environmental aggressors. The end result is premature aging and hyperpigmentation.
Antioxidant rich foods that help restore the skin include: Red and black currants, raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate and sesame seeds. Grapes and red wine contain resveratrol - a super antioxidant with strong anti aging properties. Veggies like spinach and kale contain lutein, ( an antioxidant) that helps to hydrate the skin. Yellow and Orange root veggies including carrots, sweet potatoes pumpkins and squash are rich in beta-carotene. Honey is very rich in antioxidants!
To improve any complexion we need to consume food that helps balance our bodies from the inside out.
