The sun may be starting to hide more, but that doesn’t mean your skin can’t keep shining! We have a few nutritious tricks up our sleeves to get yourself some glowing skin!
3 Ways to Get Glowing Skin
Keeping your skin healthy and radiant is as easy as incorporating Vitamin E, biotin, and lots of hydration into your diet.
So Here’s the Lowdown:
1)Vitamin E:
An antioxidant that helps protect cells against damage caused by free radicals. Found in dark, leafy greens, nuts and nut butters, seeds, and plant oils, olive oil.
2) Biotin:
Essential for growth and also assists with metabolism. Found in eggs, pork, salmon, nutritional yeast, and whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread.
Avocados are an excellent and delicious source of both vitamin E and biotin. One cup of avocado contains about 3.1 milligrams of vitamin E and 2-6 micrograms of biotin.
3) Almonds
These also contain both vitamin E and biotin. A quarter cup of raw almonds contains about 9.2 milligrams of vitamin E and 14.7 micrograms of biotin.
A “glowing skin” breakfast
A couple of eggs cooked in olive oil with a side of avocado, and of course, some other vegetables thrown in for good measure. Enjoy a handful of almonds as a snack to boost your vitamin E and biotin intake. Try our favorite vitamin E and biotin boosting breakfast below.
