Get amazing skin with these 5 healthy fat sources!
We know it sounds a little ridiculous however, fat is essential for producing hormones, absorbing fat soluble vitamins (A, E, D, K), hydrating your skin from the inside out and effectively balancing blood sugar. When our blood sugar levels are under control, through the addition of healthy fats to your diet, this can help prevent hormonal breakouts. For amazing skin, ditch the chemical filled skincare routines and improve your skin naturally, by consuming foods rich in healthy fats or using them topically.
Avocado
Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats that can hydrate and shield your skin. Avocados are the perfect snack or you can use avocado oil as a natural moisturiser.
Egg Yolk
Egg yolks are rich in nutrients that are essential for amazing skin! Rich in Vitamin B, A, E and selenium, egg yolks are perfect addition to your skin care routine for happy and healthy skin cells. Use the egg yolk as a mask for glowing skin!
Ghee or unsalted butter
These healthy fats are high in Vitamin A and D and can assist with clarifying your skin. Simply add one teaspoon to your morning coffee, its tastes surprisingly amazing.
Coconut Oil
Use a small amount of coconut oil on your face and neck for a natural moisturizer. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties are beneficial for maintaining clear skin.
Fatty Fish (Omega 3)
Adequate levels of this anti-inflammatory fatty acid can help keep your skin clear and hydrated. Include omega-3 fatty acid rich food sources in your diet (salmon, sardines) or take a daily supplement.
