Beneficial foods for dry skin

Fruits rich in vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for the health of our skin. We can obtain it from citrus fruits (lemon, orange, grapefruit, tangerine) or from red fruits (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries) mainly.

Its Omega 3 content cares for and hydrates our skin, hair and nails. We can take it cold either directly or mixed with some food if we do not like its taste.

Beer yeast

At the skin level, brewer’s yeast also acts as an excellent cleanser, regenerator and remineralizer. In fact, it is recommended to take it to cure dermatitis, acne or stretch marks, burns or even after surgical interventions. We will take one or two tablespoons daily mixed with juice or yogurt.

Butter or clarified butter (ghee)

Thanks to its content of fatty acids and vitamin A, it  is an excellent food to nourish our skin. Although we should not abuse it, especially if we are overweight. A daily tablespoon will suffice.

This is one of the best supplements for our skin, as it revitalizes and gives it luminosity, while rejuvenating and helping to regenerate. We must take it in small doses throughout the day. This is because if we take a high dose at once, our body will eliminate its excess through urine. In addition, it will help us raise our defenses.

Organic silicon

Silicon is essential to regenerate our skin and in this case we recommend taking it in its organic form.

Collagen

More and more we hear about collagen supplements that help us improve the texture and firmness of the skin. Collagen is an essential protein not only for our skin, but also for muscles and joints.

Selenium

Selenium gives us elasticity to the skin, essential especially for dry skin. Selenium-based supplements can be combined with other minerals such as zinc, also very beneficial, and usually also contain vitamin E.

Remember, taking care of your diet and following healthy habits will have positive effects on your skin and your health. However, if you suffer from a recurring problem, it is important that you go to your doctor to properly assess your condition.
