How can these ingredients give you radiant skin?

 

Banana

Who doesn’t love a banana? It’s the perfect snack on the go and the best way to make your smoothies creamy and delicious.

Well this tasty fruit also packs a punch when it comes to giving your skin a natural glow.

Bananas contain potassium, vitamins E and C and plenty of anti-oxidant properties, which helps nourish the skin and can also go a long way in preventing pre-mature ageing.

Potassium is especially important for a radiant complexion as it helps your body regulate the water in your cells. A diet low in potassium can lead to dry, dull skin.

So, by adding this fruit into your smoothie mix you’re helping keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

 

Blueberries

These little snackable fruit treats aren’t just the perfect addition to your Instagramable breakfast, they’re also packed full of vitamins and antioxidants your skin is craving.

Blueberries contain vitamin A which has been known to help reduce wrinkles and eliminate dark spots and uneven pigmentation in the skin.

These cheeky berries also contain vitamin C which helps neutralize free radicals and is also a well-known secret on the war against premature aging.

Plus (we’re not done yet!) blueberries can also help naturally stabilise your hormones so you can say bye-bye to hormonal breakouts around that time of the month.

Is there anything these berries can’t do? We’re not sure there is.

 

Raspberries

Although some might find them a little tart, raspberries are some of the best berries out and like their blueberry friends, are jam-packed full of healthy nutrients for your skin.

Packed with antioxidants, raspberries can protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun as well as help reduce skin discolouration and inflammation.

Raspberries also contain anthocyanins, which in fruit gives them a lovely rich colour but, for your skin, helps promote a more even-toned and youthful complexion.

Go raspberries!

 

Spinach

Last but certainly not least, spinach.

Although this leafy green might not be the first thing you’d think of adding to your morning smoothie it’s packed with nutrients you don’t want your skin to miss out on.

This little plant is a fantastic source of iron, folate, chlorophyll, Vitamin E, magnesium, Vitamin A, fibre, plant protein, and Vitamin C. Due to its antioxidant abilities, Vitamins C, E, and A are especially great for your skin.

Essentially by eating spinach, you’re helping your skin repair itself from the inside out and who doesn’t want that?
