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.
