Two Foods to Keep Your Face Looking Beautiful

Hey girls! Ready for some food facts?

    Well today we have two types of food that will help you obtain that beautiful complexion we all want. Did you know that our skin is a telltale sign of what's going on in our insides? Harper MD, a board-certified intern in Austin,TX  once said, "when the body is out of balance one of the first place it reveals itself is the skin." It is important to have the right nutrients to get that beautiful and radiant skin.


1. Yogurt: 
    Yogurt is a low-calorie food that is packed with Vitamin D, calcium, protein, and potassium. Yogurt is one type of fermented food that helps maintain the lining of your gastrointestinal tract which prevents toxic bacteria from escaping. These bacteria may travel to your body, including your skin, which no one wants. Yogurt also helps keep your skin hydrated.  You can also apply yogurt to your face to keep your skin radiant.


2. Fruits: 
    We all love sweets. Who doesn't? I mean who can resist a doughnut or cupcake? However, eating a lot of processed sugar is like poison for your skin. For instance, sugar cause your collagen and elastic tissue to breakdown. This results in wrinkles, uneven skin tone and sagging of the skin. Eating sugar once in a while is not bad, but having large amounts of it can spike your insulin. The best alternative way to get sugar is through fruits. Fruits are organic products that are enjoyable and  healthy for our skin. For example, green apple protects your skin from irritation and strawberries help unclog pores. Fruits help your skin appear radiant and helps prevents blotchy spots and dryness.
