17. Anti-ageing Skin Nutrition Class
Learn about different skin type enhancing foods and how to balance them through diet and lifestyle. More people are also embracing clean eating, which supports healthy skin and eliminates the need for heavy coverage products. Antioxidants help protect skin against free radicals in the environment, which are damaging to skin cells. They work to prevent free radicals from breaking down the skin’s elastin and collagen, resulting in more youthful, healthier skin. There are many foods out there which are skin healers, such as avocado's, walnuts, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, soy, green tea, and fatty types of fish containing omega-3 fatty acids that can reduce inflammation and keep skin moisturised. The good news is red wine & chocolate both contain chemicals that can help rejuvenate older DNA - leaving skin looking younger. Brightly coloured vegetables & fruits such as mango, sweet potatoes, yellow & red peppers contain beta-carotene which enhances both skin colour and texture. You probably already know that foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, tempeh, and other probiotic-rich foods are good for your gut.
