It’s that time of year when the weather should be warming up and we are beginning to shed the layers of winter clothes. But then we do, we notice how pale and washy we look, well at least I do, and we notice the few pounds that have piled up over the winter. Then we wonder how can we get back looking great again.
Taking a look at our diet is a great place to start. A balanced diet will help support healthy skin. Water is number one for me, make sure to keep hydrated. Consider adding apple cider vinegar “with the Mother” to your water once a day. It is traditionally used to help maintain fluid balance and support the breakdown of fat in the digestive system. Choose brightly coloured fruit and vegetables, goji berries, and blueberries as they contain Vitamin C, important to help build collagen. Fish, chicken, nuts, eggs, lentils, and pulses provide protein essential for healthy skin. Wholegrains, nuts, and seeds provide B Vitamins for skin, nails, and hair health. Green tea, white tea or Rooibos are a natural source of antioxidants to help protect the skin from damage. Avoid sugar, reduce coffee, alcohol, and processed foods, as these will all have a negative impact on our skin.
Or maybe, we might consider a s supplement to help us achieve our goals. New Nordic Apple Cider tablets are easy to take if you can’t handle the taste of cider vinegar. They provide all the goodness of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, without the strong taste. Or New Nordic Fat Burner, I have spoken about this before, many customers have found it helpful for healthy fat metabolism.
Collagen is the go-to supplement for skin, New Nordic Collagen Shots are very popular, especially at this time of the year as they can be handy to pop in your gym bag to take after a workout. It comes in convenient sachets with a delicious berry flavour.
Rehydrate your skin from the outside in, Leah here loves Holos Blossoms Body Oil. She uses it every day after her shower, and she said it smells divine. It locks in moisture, and a little goes a long way. She loves the fact that it is an Irish brand from just down the road in Enniscorthy.
Let’s glow again!
