Eat Your Way to Glowing, Healthy Skin

World Health Day is celebrated on April 7th every year to help raise awareness about global health issues and promote healthy living. While many people associate health with physical fitness and nutrition, skincare can also play an important role in your overall health. Skincare isn’t just about the products you use daily – it’s also about ensuring your skin gets the nourishment it needs.

Holistic approach to skincare

Beautiful skin starts with nourishment from within – from body to mind and soul. Holistic skincare is an approach that focuses on overall skin health and wellness, rather than treating specific skin issues alone. One of the important factors of your skin health is the foods you consume daily.

Healthy Eating Habit Tips For Healthy, Clear Skin

Foods have a significant impact on the health of your skin. A balanced diet with a variety of nutrient-dense foods can help prevent and treat skin problems like acne, wrinkles, and dryness. Here are some healthy eating habit tips:

1.  Include fruits and vegetables in your daily meals

Fruits and vegetables are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, which play a role in keeping your skin healthy. For example, Vitamin A, C and E help protect your skin from free radical damage and skin cancer.
