Foods clinical proven to improve skin

           Some quick diet skin health tips from Jillian!

           Food clinical proven to improve skin!

 

Fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and herring
Omega
3 fatty acids are necessary to help keep skin

             thick, supple, and moisturized. In fact, an 
omega
3 fatty acid deficiency can cause dry skin.

 

Avocados 
are also a
good source of vitamin E
, which is an important antioxidant that helps 
protect your skin from oxidative damage. Most Americans don’t get enough vitamin E through 
their 
diet.


 

Walnuts are a good source of essential fatty acids, which are fats that your body cannot 
make itself.
In fact, they’re richer than most other nuts in both omega
-
3 and omega
-
6 fatty 
acids


 

Broccoli  contains lutein, a carotenoid that work
s like beta carotene. Lutein helps 
protect your skin from oxidative damage, which can cause your skin to become dry and 
wrinkled.


Soy: contains isoflavones, a category of plant compounds that can either mimic or block 
estrogen in your body . One small study involving middle 
aged women found that eating soy 
isoflavones every day for 8
–
12 weeks reduced fine wrinkles and improved skin elasticity


 

Red Grapes: Red grapes have resveratrol, a compound that comes from the skin of red grapes.
Test
tube studies sugge
st it may also help slow the production of harmful free radicals, which 
damage skin cells and cause signs of aging
This beneficial compound is also found in red wine. Unfortunately, there’s not much evidence 
that the amount of
resveratrol
you get from a glass of red wine is enough to affect your skin.

Frank Body Express - O Coffee Body Scrub Review

This is Aaliyah with Skin.Edu, and this is part 3 of a miniseries that I’ll call “Is it Aaliyah Approved?” where I review body and skincare products. Today I’m reviewing the Frank Body Express - O Coffee Body Scrub. To be honest, I don’t care for coffee scrubs and there’s a few reasons why.  First, coffee is extremely difficult to rinse off the skin, and creating extra sheering forces just to remove the coffee grinds from skin can cause irritation, redness, and potentially negatively affect the skin barrier. Second, it makes a mess in the shower; along with not being able to remove it easily from the skin, it becomes difficult to remove it from the shower and bath as well. Third, it is an alternative to sugar, but it’s not any better when considering sustainability - they both can be produced either unsustainably or sustainably.  I did appreciate that Frank Body took a different approach when it came to texture & formula. This body scrub is much different from other coffee...

Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub Review

Tree Hut Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub Review  This is Aaliyah with Skin.Edu, and this is part 4 of a miniseries that I’ll call “Is it Aaliyah Approved?” where I review body and skincare products. Today I’m reviewing the Tahitian Vanilla Body Scrub from the viral - worthy brand Tree Hut.  I was pretty disappointed with the scent of this product; I suppose I was expecting a little more of a sweetened vanilla scent, but the scent of this scrub was too overwhelming for me.  The scrub itself was okay and pretty gentle on my skin, but it didn’t leave my skin as soft and moisturized as I typically like from a body scrub. This product would be okay though for those who really prefer a long lasting fragrance.  You can find the product on Ulta.com for $9 for an 18 oz. jar: https://www.ulta.com/p/tahitian-vanilla-bean-shea-sugar-scrub-xlsImpprod18801211 .   So, is it “ Aaliyah Approved ”? My review is based on these categories: scent (scent of product), texture (textur...
