Having sensitive skin should be your best excuse to be ultra-picky with the things you eat. You see, eating anything whether it’s good for your skin or not won’t help you maintain the beauty of your skin.

If you are allergic to so many things, even dust, you can easily make your skin more resistant to disorders and allergies by choosing the food you eat.

Some beauty treatments are not suitable for people with sensitive skin. This makes it seem like you’re not eligible to most of the treatments other people enjoy. Harsh scrubs are out, as well as scented soaps. Herbal soaps may not even work because your skin breaks out at the slightest hint of impurity in the ingredients. Anti-aging products are not always friendly to sensitive skin. Does this mean you’re doomed to cleanse your face with only baby soap and distilled water forever?

Fret not, there are a lot of things you can do for your skin even if you can’t avail of the many skin care treatments offered in salons. Rather than applying expensive anti-aging products on your skin, you can eat them. What you need to do is to cleanse your skin from within. This means eating only the best food that will benefit your skin greatly. Here are some of these nourishing foods you can consume daily to care for your skin more…

Green tea

Green tea is now a popular ingredient for skin care products. This is because green tea has a lot of life-giving benefits that directly affect the skin. One main advantage of drinking tea is that you get rid of impurities faster. Your digestion becomes more efficient and you lose the bad stuff from the food you eat quickly because of this. Get a good quality green tea and drink it daily. Some of the other benefits of green tea are weight loss, lower cholesterol, and possibly a lower risk of cancer.

Cucumbers

Cucumbers are not comprised of water alone. In fact, there are more minerals in this vegetable than its other relatives. Eating fresh cucumber slices instead of junk food during your snack break will lead to fairer skin. You’ll end up losing weight as well because cucumbers are not fattening.

Vitamin C Sources

Tomatoes, citrus fruits and berries are excellent sources of vitamin C. I know you can take your ascorbic acid from supplements, but these fruits contain more of this energy-boosting mineral than any pill. The antioxidants in these vitamin C sources are enough to clean your system of free radicals.
