While women are buying skin care products with all the fancy ingredients to lift and firm, you are stuck using the mild stuff with none of those benefits. Why? You have sensitive skin. You know that putting something on your face, no matter how mild they claim it is, will only cause problems for you and your skin.
What can be done about this? How can you, a person with sensitive skin, get the same great benefits that women are getting from their fancy products? Skip the outside and start with the inside.
Rather than applying expensive anti-aging products on your skin, you can eat them. Now, of course, I don’t mean you should eat your expensive night cream or any other store-bought skin products, but you can eat the effective ingredients in them.
Your skin is your largest organ. Therefore, the benefits of eating anti-aging ingredients will be similar to applying them directly to your skin. Here are some food items that have benefits for your sensitive skin:
Green tea: Skin care products on the market now often contain green tea. But, these products may contain other ingredients that you are sensitive to. Instead, why not just drink the green tea and enjoy the same benefits? That way you will avoid the skin reactions while benefiting your entire body, inside and out. Other benefits of green tea are lower cholesterol, weight loss, and possibly a lower risk of cancer.
Cucumbers: Increase your vegetable intake every day and your skin will thank you. More fruits and vegetables in your diet will have a positive effect on the overall appearance of your skin. What else can you expect? How about weight loss and more energy? That’s not such a bad thing, is it.
Vitamin C: Increase your intake of oranges and other vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables. The anti-oxidants in them are wonderful for your skin. You’ll also be hydrating your skin when you eat more fruits and vegetables. See how food works all together to make you beautiful and healthy?
Never forget that your skin is your largest organ. Whether you’re putting skin care products on it, or feeding it from the inside with nutritious food, your skin will show the efforts you make. If you have sensitive skin or not, choosing to use these healthy foods to improve your skin will show – on your skin and in your wallet. No more fancy lotions, just head to the grocery store.
