WHAT FOODS ARE BENEFICIAL FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN ?
​
For many years, we have had an unlimited choice of highly effective moisturising, nourishing and anti-wrinkle creams, and the emergence of facial yoga, which is accessible to all and offers firming and smoothing techniques, but what about food? Can they meet some of our expectations? As it happens, yes!
Let's review their benefits without further ado!
​
- Hydrating foods :
watermelon: contains 92% water, is rich in vitamin C, essential for collagen synthesis
Spinach: rich in vitamin A, which helps maintain skin cells and promotes healing
Peach: 89% water, fights free radicals and toxins
coconut water: rich in antioxidants
Cucumber: the vegetable with the highest water content, excellent for the skin and revitalises the eye area
​
- Lifting foods :
lentils: rich in vitamins, minerals and sleep aid
Quinoa: rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals
Nuts: they help the skin to close and reduce inflammation
yoghurt: natural beauty mask for a firmer and smoother skin
​
- Foods for glowing skin:
red fruits: powerful antioxidants, prevent skin damage
Carrots: vitamins A and C effective against dry skin, eczema and acne
Avocado: restores skin moisture, has a soothing and moisturising effect on dry irritated skin
​
- Cleansing foods:
Ginger: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging
olives: rich in vitamin E, they protect the skin against UV rays and pollutants
Mushrooms: rich in B vitamins, vitamin D, beneficial to skin healing
Kale: rich in omega-3 and omega-9, has an anti-inflammatory, lubricating and moisturising effect. It is also rich in vitamin K, which is an excellent source of vitamin for the bones

WHY DOES MEN'S SKIN AGE LESS QUICKLY THAN WOMEN'S ?
​
Men's skin ages more slowly than women's. What a pity for us, but it is a fact!
Men's skin is 25% thicker than ours and has a much higher collagen density. The skin is less sensitive to external aggressions, male hormones nourish the skin and act as a barrier against the sun and pollution. It is also more elastic because it contains more lipids.
​
But another (strange) parameter could come into play: shaving. By shaving closely every day, men renew their skin cells more quickly and ensure better blood circulation.
​
Another injustice: men's skin is also much more resistant to stress than women's, by 10%, and the benefits of facial yoga will be visible more quickly (1 month for men against 3-4 months for women).
