The experts from ISDIN are here to share the latest in skin care intel.

“You are what you eat.” Though this old adage isn’t literally true, there is something to it. When you eat nutrient-rich foods, that nutrition benefits your skin in addition to the rest of your body. Which foods will help you get closer to glowing skin this summer? We’ve put together a list of the most vitamin-packed ingredients to add to your shopping list—and a few bestselling skin care products, too. Let’s explore some of the top foods to help support healthy skin, including:

• Red bell peppers

• Tomatoes

• Avocados

• Blueberries

• Salmon

• Nourishing skin care and wellness products to try at home

Top foods for healthy skin

1) Red bell peppers

Although all bell peppers are nutritious, red bell peppers are the ideal snack to jump-start your daily dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C supports the immune system, reduces inflammation and promotes bright and radiant skin. And despite oranges being famous for their high vitamin C content, raw red bell peppers contain nearly three times as much vitamin C.

2) Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a refreshing addition to any summer salad, but did you know they can also help support your skin? Containing compounds such as lycopene, they can help increase the skin’s resistance to sun damage and minimize the negative effects of daily environmental stressors. Tomatoes also boast other skin-friendly nutrients such as antioxidants and B vitamins.

3) Avocados

Avocados are naturally high in fat, and in this instance that’s a good thing. Their monounsaturated fats and essential fatty acids such as omega-3s help support the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is essential for healthy skin. Plus, let’s be real—is there a better summer snack than guacamole?

4) Blueberries

With less sugar than most fruits, blueberries are also packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants can help fight oxidative stress in your skin, a process that may cause visible signs of aging. In addition to being an antioxidant powerhouse, blueberries contain vitamins such as A, C and E.

5) Salmon

Remember the omega-3s in avocados we mentioned earlier? Those same omega-3s are also found in high levels in salmon and are thought to help support the skin’s natural structure. Salmon is also rich in vitamin D, protein, B vitamins and biotin, all of which are important for antioxidation and your skin’s natural turnover.

What nourishing products should I add to my skin care diet?

Healthy, glowing skin takes a two-pronged approach focused on the inside of your body and the outside too. You can also benefit by adding science-backed products to your skin care routine.
