Eating a Nutritious Diet for Healthy Skin - Our Homemade Veggie Soup Recipe

,
 

Keeping your skin healthy and nourished is not easy when you’re stuck inside all day. Dry, flaky and inflamed skin is not only a reflection of your body on the outside, but also how you are feeling on the inside too. There is no doubt that mentally, the social isolation we are all going through right now is tough, but all the hand sanitiser and cleaning products aren’t easy on our bodies either.

While a thorough skin routine is essential during this time, so is a healthy and nutritious diet. Choosing foods that are rich in vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals and amino acids all go a long way to keeping your skin feeling moisturised, fresh and hydrated. As you’ve heard it said before, you are what you eat!
