Do you want super skin? Ok, that may be an obvious question. Even if you don’t 100% know what super skin is, it sounds pretty great doesn’t it? Achieving healthy, super skin can feel like a long road for many of us. Since there are so many factors that play into us achieving that result, many people feel frustrated around the idea at all. Of course using the right, quality skin care products consistently is a huge factor to super  skin but it doesn’t stop there. What we eat has been found to contribute immensely to our skin’s health and appearance. To help you streamline some of the foods that can help you obtain glowing skin we’re sharing some of the super foods for super skin. Super foods are, well…super so it only makes sense that they would help to get super skin-right?

Avocado
Avocados have been a trendy food the past couple of years with the rise of popularity in avocado toast and other dishes using avocado as a main ingredient. It’s not just that avocados taste great, but they’re considered a super food. That’s right, we’re giving you even more of a reason to add avocados into your diet! Avocados are actually incredibly beneficial to our skin. They’re loaded with ‘healthy’ fats and omega 9’s. Both of these elements help to give our skin nutrients that have been found to assist in hydration, moisturization and antioxidant benefits. We don’t need to tell you all of those benefits are pretty powerful to achieving super skin.

Turmeric
Turmeric is another ingredient that’s been gaining a lot of air time lately. You may have seen some DIY recipes for face masks yielding turmeric as an ingredient, or smoothies, or even dinner recipes. It’s been everywhere! The reason turmeric has been so popular lately is because of the incredible super food benefits it contains. Turmeric is a super food that’s been found to assist our bodies in many ways, our skin included. One of the main benefits turmeric yields is the ability to assist with inflammation. As you may know inflammation has been found to be one of the main culprits of countless skin concerns. Whether you suffer from acne, signs of aging or anything else inflammation in your skin/body may be to blame. The good news is incorporating more turmeric into your diet, and even using it in the form of a face mask can help you to reap the anti-inflammatory benefits easily.

Blueberries
Another food that we tend to take for granted! Of course blueberries taste great as a healthy sweet treat, but you may not realize they’re actually considered a superfood. As it turns out blueberries are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants have been found to be one of the most important factors to helping us achieve healthy, glowing, super skin. If you don’t already know, antioxidants are incredible at helping our skin to fight free radicals-which have been found to cause signs of aging and other sign concerns to result. In addition, antioxidants and the benefits of blueberries help to repair and replenish the collagen in our skin.

Summer is coming to a close, which means fall is on its way. It’s always a little hard to say goodbye to the long warm summer days but welcoming a new season is refreshing, we must admit. You may have noticed that as we transition from summer to fall our skin begins to act a bit differently, it’s in large part due to the change in climate. The weather becomes cooler and much drier in the fall, compared the warm humidity we experience during the summer. Naturally, our skin has different needs because of the different elements. To keep your skin looking it’s best throughout this weather transition we suggest you take some steps to rebalance your skin before fall-don’t worry we’re going to share how!

Use a Moisturizing Cleanser
Cleansing your skin is essential regardless of the time of year, but as the weather changes your skin is going to have different needs from a cleansing product. Hopefully you were using a lightweight cleansing product during the summer, but as the weather changes that same lightweight cleanser can feel a bit drying in the fall. To rebalance your skin before fall you’re going to want to swap out your cleansing for something that’s soothing but also more moisturizing. This will help you to keep your skin well moisturized as the climate becomes much drier.

Step Up Your Moisturizer
Similar to why you should be swapping out your cleansing product, you want to do the same thing for your moisturizing product. So many of us tend to experience a lot of dryness during this seasonal transition, which is why stepping up your moisturizer is so important. Starting to transition your moisturizer now will help you to re-balance your skin BEFORE fall so that you can hopefully avoid a lot of the common skin struggles we experience during the seasonal change. The key of course is to ensure that the moisturizer that you swap to is still accommodating to your skin type. However, as the weather is dry your skin can handle a moisturizer that’s a bit thicker this time of year and will really need something heavier.

Add Hydrating Masks Into Your Routine
Face masks have been everywhere lately, but we’re not mad about it! Face masks have always been something we’ve been fans of because they provide you with the opportunity to obtain concentrated benefits to target any particular skin concerns you may have. This is why we suggest you add in a hydrating face mask to re-balance your skin before fall. As we’ve mentioned above hydration and moisturizing need to be a focus this time of year, doing a hydrating face mask once a week is going to be incredibly beneficial to your skin for that reason. Being consistent with this type of face mask is going to help you avoid a lot of the struggles we experience, but also provide your skin with the essential hydration it needs to be healthy.
