Four Vegetables for Gorgeous Skin

 

You can slather on the most expensive skin creams and serums, but if you don’t take care of your skin by cultivating good health habits like proper water intake and a diet heavy on fruits and vegetables, the most expensive department store skin care products won’t give you the skin glow you’re after. Many vegetables contain valuable nutrients that give your skin much needed support to stay firm and clear. So hit the produce section and feed your skin from the inside out with these four top vegetables.

Beet It

The more antioxidants you have in your body, the more your skin will glow. Antioxidants inhibit free radicals that damage skin. And beets are chock full of them, especially anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Your skin will look glowing and healthy if you eat beets on a regular basis. Boil beets, cut it into slices and enjoy!

Carrots, Not Just For Rabbits

Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A, making them a must-eat vegetable in your daily diet. Not only do carrots give your skin a glow due to its high Vitamin A content, it also fights wrinkles and improves the quality of your skin. Drinking carrot juice in a smoothie or cold-pressed juice is a great way to get all the benefits of carrots.

How Sweet Potato It Is

Anti-inflammatory in nature, sweet potato has high Vitamin A content which helps fight acne-causing bacteria, in addition to substantial Vitamin C to further improve skin tone, heal acne and stimulate collagen production. Keep the skin on, add a little salt and pepper and you have a comfort food that works hard for your skin.

Tomato, Tomatoe

Technically, the tomato is a fruit, but since it disguises itself as a vegetable, we’ll keep it on our best vegetable list. If your skin needs a boost from within to look fresh and youthful, look no further than the bright tomato. Tomatoes are rich in an antioxidant called lycopene, which has serious anti-aging and skin protective properties (it boosts your skin’s natural sunscreen).
