A good diet is linked with clear, smooth skin, so eating the right foods can work wonders for your complexion.
An expert shared the best types of food to hydrate your skin from within.
Experts at Fresha shared that the best foods for your skin are those high in water and vitamins. These will help you “maintain hydration from the inside out”.
They said: “Eating water-rich foods, such as oranges, cucumbers, avocados, nuts and even sweet potatoes, is a great way to achieve glowing and hydrated skin.” Some studies have shown that vitamin C, found in oranges, can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Not only are cucumbers good to add to your plate, but they can also be used to make a mist for your skin.
“Keep a cucumber or rose facial mist handy to hydrate your skin on the go for an easy refresh,” the experts said.
Another way to stay hydrated is by drinking enough water and using hydrating skin care products.
The experts continued: “It sounds obvious, but drinking plenty of water throughout the day not only nourishes your body, but also keeps your skin hydrated from the inside out, so be sure not to neglect this.

“During the warmer seasons, opt for a lightweight moisturiser to hydrate your skin.
“Look for ones that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera and lactic acid, as these help to lock in moisture.”
Looking for specific ingredients will help you to look youthful and have a glowing complexion but be careful not to use too many products at once.
The experts continued: “It is important to remember that the change in temperature does not require a complete change in your usual skin care routine.

“Overloading the skin with too many products, especially new ones, can evoke skin care issues or exacerbate existing ones.
“Aim to trial new products and carefully monitor how your skin responds to them on a daily basis.
“Using one product at a time allows you to see the true results with no other factors affecting them, rather than using too many at once and trying to figure out which one isn’t working for you.
“These steps will ensure that your skin care routine is suitable for your needs, particularly in the warm weather.”
