#1 Cucumber
From depuffing your eyes to refreshing irritated skin, the benefits of cucumber will be equally valuable to both your skincare routine and your salad. This is thanks to Vitamin C and caffeic acid, two antioxidants that will help you fight the signs of aging.

#2 Green Tea
If you’re already into black tea, going green with your tea won’t be that hard a switch. Studies have shown that green tea could be the most powerful source of antioxidants ever known to mankind. Black tea actually starts off as green tea but then the fermentation process changes it. Some people prefer that darker shade and its flavor, but the downside is that this fermentation also strips away all its most valuable skincare properties. So go green for a natural beauty boost. Your skin will thank you for its anti-aging and soothing effects.

#3 Coconut Oil
Use it frequently both in your kitchen and your vanity! You would be amazed at all its beauty uses and your skincare ritual is not the exception. Extra virgin coconut oil is an amazing moisturizer that can help you achieve that healthy radiant glow inside and out.

#4 Oatmeal
If dull, flaky, itchy and dry skin has turned your life into a nightmare, then oats will be a dream come true. They have incredible anti-inflammatory and hypoallergenic properties, perfect to heal minor flaws, cleanse, hydrate, calm and repair uneven skin tone.

#5 Sardines
Every bite of this skincare superfood will help you prevent wrinkles naturally! This Eastern European beauty secret lies in its high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids, which some studies indicate can combat photo-aging of the skin. Can you believe that these little ones have more omega-3s than salmon?

#6 Kale
Loaded with Vitamins A, B, C, and K, as well as antioxidants and phytonutrients, kale is one of the latest superfoods in skincare. Kale extract has quickly spread onto serums and creams. But don’t forget it can do as much for your palate as it can for your skin…at once! Enjoy its amazing skincare benefits from the inside out—but with a twist—by preparing some delicious kale chips.

#7 Walnuts
It’s a fact: they’re tasty, crunchy and make the healthiest most practical snacks. And, added to this, Mother Nature gifted them with large amounts of vitamin B and fatty acids which are essential to healing skin disorders.

#8 Kiwi
Resilient healthy skin is all about Vitamin C and E. And its significant concentrations of these antioxidants are what makes kiwi a true skincare ally. The velvety skinned fruit helps stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration for younger, more radiant and firm skin.

#9 Carrots
Eating your carrots—like Mom advised—doesn’t only improve your sight, it also helps achieve flawless skin. Carrots have beta-carotene, a component converted into vitamin A by our bodies to repair skin tissues. Drink, eat or boil and mash to apply them as facial masks for a healthy glow and natural sun protection.

#10 Olive Oil
If you have sensitive skin, look no further!
Besides from tasting absolutely amazing, beauty and olive oil have been in a long- term relationship for a while now. Eaten or applied topically, it will reduce your skin’s inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil is a power food rich in vitamins and fatty acids that you need to prevent sagging when fat, collagen, and elastin break down.
Remember: great skincare always starts from within!
