The best way to achieve outer beauty is by nourishing your inner,
so eating vitamin rich and healthy foods is one of the easiest ways
to improve your complexion and give you the confidence
to go barefaced and beautiful.
You may have heard Miranda Kerr talking about Spirulina,
or Rosie Huntington Whiteley singing the praises of Chlorella.
It can be easy to get caught up in the beauty food trend,
but we’re taking it back to simplicity by using everyday
foods you don’t need to spend a lot of money
on to get glowing skin.

Blueberries
Known as a super-food, Blueberries are packed
full of antioxidants. This means that they are
great for skin health as they provide protection
against environmental aggressors, keeping your
complexion youthful and glowing.
Blueberries are also extremely high in a mineral
known as Salicylates. This comes from the salt
of Salicylic Acid, which is an ingredient
present in so many acne-fighting products.
It helps to kill bacteria, unclog pores and remove
dead skin cells, so by taking it from the
inside out, skin health will be improved.
