Skincare gets complicated in the summer. On one ha Skincare gets complicated in the summer. On one hand, your skin requires more moisture from being dried out due to heat factors, which might also be making you sweat more, which oils up your skin.⁠
⁠
Throw sun exposure in there and you have a recipe for potential skin damage. I have combination dry/oily skin, so I know this dance all too well. ⁠
⁠
During the summer I’m active, getting exercise outside several days a week, sweating and dehydrating myself from the outside with the sun and the inside with all the heat I’m creating from exercise. ⁠
⁠
Don’t let the humidity fool you - even if you live in the tropics, air humidity cannot completely protect your skin from the drying effects of the sun (and the AC). Whatever your skin type, eating these foods will help keep your skin in tip top shape for the long haul.⁠
⁠
First of all, make sure you’re getting Zinc and D3 in your diet. Now you might be thinking: won’t I get vitamin D from the sun? Nope. What we get from the sun are the building blocks so that our body can produce vitamin D. And those special rays that help your body make vitamin D are only out when the sun is at a 30+ degree angle from where you are on earth. You can use the app DMinder to find out when that vitamin D window is where you are in the world. These are some additional superpower foods for protecting your skin, from the inside out.⁠
⁠
🦪 Foods that are high in Zinc:⁠
⁠
• Oysters (the richest source)⁠
• Beef⁠
• Chicken⁠
• Turkey⁠
• Freshwater fish⁠
• Sardines⁠
• Eggs⁠
• Pumpkin seeds⁠
• Hemp seeds⁠
• Lentils⁠
• Quinoa⁠
⁠
🫐Some foods that provide protection from oxidative damage from the sun are: ⁠
⁠
• Carrots⁠
• Watermelon⁠
• Aloe⁠
• Coconut oil⁠
• Grapes⁠
• Olive oil⁠
• Avocados⁠
• Sweet red peppers⁠
• Sweet potatoes⁠
• Sunflower seeds⁠
• Guava⁠
• Pomegranate⁠
