Almonds are very rich in Vitamin E, an antioxidant which stops the production of “free radical” cells damaging healthy ones in your body. These free radicals are known to contribute to the ageing process, meaning that almonds can potentially help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Lovely!
Legumes
Beans, lentils and peas to be exact. Legumes are high in a number of nutrients, including Biotin also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H (confusing, I know). Biotin is water soluble, meaning your body doesn’t store it, so it is important to restock this vital ingredient often.
Now, there’s not a huge amount of research into why and how it benefits the skin, but it is known to reduce brittleness in hair and nails, and is thought to improve psoriasis.
If your diet allows, another commonly sourced Biotin rich option is egg.
Avocado
This brunch favourite is packed full of goodies such as fibre, healthy fats, and more than twice the potassium of a banana. In terms of skin, Avocado’s are a great source of Niacin, a micronutrient also known as Vitamin B3.
It is an essential nutrient, meaning your body can’t produce it on it’s own, so it is important to get it through the food that you eat. Niacin is said to protect your skin from sun damage by locking in and retaining moisture. Most meats are also high in this nutrient.
Oats
One cup of oats contains your daily recommended serving of Riboflavin otherwise known as Vitamin B2. Aiding in cell turnover and collagen maintenance, Riboflavin protects the structural health of your skin, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent the dryness that leads to oil production, and therefore acne. It also improves zinc absorption, speaking of which…
Oysters
Yes, you can get these at the supermarket, I’ve checked. Just 40g of oysters covers your daily recommended amount of zinc. Though not technically an antioxidant, zinc protects your skin from free radicals. It also helps reduce inflammation, redness and speeds up cell turnover, improving the appearance of acne and scars.
Vegetarian options for zinc include, baked beans, fortified breakfast cereals and pumpkin seeds.
Sweet Potato
This versatile vegetable contains almost 2 times your recommended amount of Vitamin A. As vitamins go, this essential nutrient does a heck of a lot for you. From preventing breakouts, to encouraging your skin to moisturise itself naturally. Vitamin A really does do a lot to boost your skin’s health.
Red Peppers
Did you know, one cup of chopped red peppers contains more than three times the amount of Vitamin C than an average sized orange?
Vitamin C is the Godfather of skin vitamins. Considered safe for pretty much all skin types, here is a list of some of the things it does: helps your skin retain moisture, fades hyperpigmentation such as sun spots, reduces dullness and redness evening out skin tone, boosts collagen production and accelerates cell turn over helping fight free radicals. Now that is a lot of goodness.
There are obviously many more foods that are rich in all of the vitamins above, however these were just my easy to find favourites. Have a google for other options in each vitamin category and play around with some recipes. You’ll be amazed at what yummy meals you can create, all while eating your way to better skin.
A good skin care routine can only get you so far. We’ve all heard the phrase “you are what you eat”, but how do you eat good skin? I’ve had a look around and found the goodies in your local supermarket to help your skin prosper.
A quick google of “what to eat for good skin” will bring up tons of articles telling you of the amazing benefits of all the wonderful fruits hidden deep in the amazon rainforest – great. Next time I go I’ll be sure to pick up a few.
For the few of us who have to rely on our regular old supermarkets, here’s a list of “miracle foods” you can probably find in your local store. I like to call it, from the amazon rainforest, to plain old Amazon, or whatever your local store is called.

Vegetarian options for zinc include, baked beans, fortified breakfast cereals and pumpkin seeds.
Sweet Potato
This versatile vegetable contains almost 2 times your recommended amount of Vitamin A. As vitamins go, this essential nutrient does a heck of a lot for you. From preventing breakouts, to encouraging your skin to moisturise itself naturally. Vitamin A really does do a lot to boost your skin’s health.
Red Peppers
Did you know, one cup of chopped red peppers contains more than three times the amount of Vitamin C than an average sized orange?
Vitamin C is the Godfather of skin vitamins. Considered safe for pretty much all skin types, here is a list of some of the things it does: helps your skin retain moisture, fades hyperpigmentation such as sun spots, reduces dullness and redness evening out skin tone, boosts collagen production and accelerates cell turn over helping fight free radicals. Now that is a lot of goodness.
There are obviously many more foods that are rich in all of the vitamins above, however these were just my easy to find favourites. Have a google for other options in each vitamin category and play around with some recipes. You’ll be amazed at what yummy meals you can create, all while eating your way to better skin.
Almonds
Almonds are very rich in Vitamin E, an antioxidant which stops the production of “free radical” cells damaging healthy ones in your body. These free radicals are known to contribute to the ageing process, meaning that almonds can potentially help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Lovely!
Legumes
Beans, lentils and peas to be exact. Legumes are high in a number of nutrients, including Biotin also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H (confusing, I know). Biotin is water soluble, meaning your body doesn’t store it, so it is important to restock this vital ingredient often.
Now, there’s not a huge amount of research into why and how it benefits the skin, but it is known to reduce brittleness in hair and nails, and is thought to improve psoriasis.
If your diet allows, another commonly sourced Biotin rich option is egg.
Avocado
This brunch favourite is packed full of goodies such as fibre, healthy fats, and more than twice the potassium of a banana. In terms of skin, Avocado’s are a great source of Niacin, a micronutrient also known as Vitamin B3.
It is an essential nutrient, meaning your body can’t produce it on it’s own, so it is important to get it through the food that you eat. Niacin is said to protect your skin from sun damage by locking in and retaining moisture. Most meats are also high in this nutrient.
Oats
One cup of oats contains your daily recommended serving of Riboflavin otherwise known as Vitamin B2. Aiding in cell turnover and collagen maintenance, Riboflavin protects the structural health of your skin, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent the dryness that leads to oil production, and therefore acne. It also improves zinc absorption, speaking of which…
Oysters
Yes, you can get these at the supermarket, I’ve checked. Just 40g of oysters covers your daily recommended amount of zinc. Though not technically an antioxidant, zinc protects your skin from free radicals. It also helps reduce inflammation, redness and speeds up cell turnover, improving the appearance of acne and scars.
Vegetarian options for zinc include, baked beans, fortified breakfast cereals and pumpkin seeds.

A quick google of “what to eat for good skin” will bring up tons of articles telling you of the amazing benefits of all the wonderful fruits hidden deep in the amazon rainforest – great. Next time I go I’ll be sure to pick up a few.
For the few of us who have to rely on our regular old supermarkets, here’s a list of “miracle foods” you can probably find in your local store. I like to call it, from the amazon rainforest, to plain old Amazon, or whatever your local store is called.
