Forget The Make Up Eat

 You don;t need serums or highlighters, creams or concealers if you eat the and drink the right foods and liquids. These can help achieving that glowy dewy look. Add some healthy meats and veggies or tnat extra glass of water and you'll not only feel better but look better too.

Winter brings about a lot fo problems with skin and hair. They get dull fast thanks to the frigid temps and the constant heat blowing around the house. What can bring back that summery glow? Salmon and lots of it. This versatile fish is loaded with Omega 3's which is good in restoring skin's . bloomy look.It can also help to protect the skin from certain skin cancers too.Salmon can be versatile too. Try a pan seared version , spiiked with ginger and soy for a tasty dinner or a sheet pan one for an easy Sunday dinner. It can be not only be flavored with ginger and soy but garlic and lemon too or lime for a different flavor. A fun lunch would be salmon patties  bound  with breadcrumbs and eggs. Air fry these instead of deep frying for a healthier meal. These too can be serve with brown rice as with the  grilled or sheet pan versions. Another fish that's great for keeping skin young looking is tuna.It's a good source of selenium (which also is in mnay nuts)and that helps preserve the protein elastin. This keeps skin smooth and tight and also helps protect it from UV rays. Of course you should eat fresh tuna . You'll be able to find fresh tuna steaks in every grocery store. Try marinating it in fresh orange juice before grilling or even a just  a pan seared tuna with just salt and pepper.

Veggies have always been touted as being good for the skin and hair. Of course it's true. Sweet potatoes can chase away acne and any other break outs. They can cut  those sugar cravings which can exercerbate  your blood sugar and in turn ruin cause all sorts of skin problems.  If you want sweet and crunchy then julienne a couple and then air fry them. It's a healthier way to eat a fun snack food while helping your body. Try a garlicky aoili dip with it  using plain Greek yogurt with olive oil added for smoothness and chopped garlic along with salt and pepper for flavor. Roasted sweet potatoes are good too, especially with a thick pat of Melt plant based butter. Tomatoes in season are also a great food to eat for beauty.They're chock full of lycopene which helps boosts the skin's protection against the sun's rays. A tomato is a truly versatile fruit (yes that's what it is) Think of adding roasted ones to a salad or making a tasty bruschetta with rounds of toasted Italian bread. What to drink with this? water. It  doesn;t have to be boring. You cna aerate with fizzy bubbles with a Soda Stream. If you want some flavor then add in some crushed strawberries, cherries or blackberries for a tasty new soda. If it's too bitter or sour. just add a tiny drop of agave to balance out that tartness,

You don;t need that expensive serum or popular concealer for beautiful skin or hair. Eat and drink healthy. These are the best you can get for looking healthy and glowing.
