Foodstuff to take care of your skin in summer

Summer is synonymous of sun, beach and holidays. But, although we are waiting for it throughout the year, enjoying it to the fullest can have serious consequences for our skin. With high temperatures, we sweat much more which can cause our skin to become dry and dehydrated. Besides, we spend many more hours under the sun and with this over exposure burns and dreaded spots can appear. Surely you already have your pack of sun-creams and protectors ready to use, but just as important or more is that you take care of your skin from within. For this, it is essential what you eat.

By eating foods rich in vitamin C, which you will find in fruits such as peaches, apricots or red fruits, you will get a beneficial antioxidant effect, highly recommended to maintain the luminosity of your skin and avoid damage from free radicals from the sun. Vitamin C prevents the appearance of spots and increase firmness and decrease wrinkles.

Some fruits are especially recommended to achieve this antioxidant effect. ››

Peaches

Thanks to its water high content and sweet flavour it makes it one of the most refreshing fruit of the summer. Furthermore, it contains vitamin C, B1, B2, B3 and B6 and has antioxidant properties. This, together with the elasticity that vitamin C provides, makes it one of the most beneficial fruits for our skin this summer.

Apricots

Beta-carotenes are responsible for its orange colour. These substances, precursors of vitamin A, are essential for the skin cellular renewal. Apricots also contain tannins, with astringent, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Red Berries

Red berries contain vitamin C and flavonoids, which gives them antioxidant properties, which prevent cell destruction and premature aging.

Strawberries

Strawberries are the fruits that will help you to take care of your skin: they reduce dark circles, work as a natural exfoliant and antioxidant, eliminate dead cells and help skin whitening, as well as prevent the appearance of wrinkles and acne and also protect you from UVA rays.
