There is no magic cure to instantly smooth out wrinkles and correct dark spots, but there are a lot of anti-aging skincare hacks you can add to your routine to get pretty close to a magic cure. We all know that serums, face creams and masks can take your beauty game a long way, but there is another area you should focus on: diet. There are a ton of foods with anti-aging properties that help promote smooth skin and bright complexions while targeting the cause of wrinkles. Here is what you should be eating:
Avocados
High in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and natural oils, avocados are a great source of hydration for your skin. They help smooth out the surface while restoring moisture deep within the skin, for a youthful and bright appearance.
Blueberries
Blueberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants that promote a healthy complexion. They protect the skin from damage from free radicals and UV light, which age the skin over time. This means that eating blueberries frequently can help erase some of the effects of damage.
Salmon
Similarly to avocado, salmon delivers essential hydration to the skin thanks to its high level of omega-3 fatty acids. This can help fight against inflammation for a healthier-seeming complexion with a soft and smooth texture.
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is surprisingly good for you, particularly your skin. It is another great source of antioxidants and it can help smooth out the texture of the skin, fight against irritation and increase hydration for a more plump appearance.
Almonds
Almonds are rich in vitamin E and antioxidants that nourish the skin and promote a youthful glow. Plus, vitamin E has been known to combat free radicals to prevent damage to the skin, which helps in slowing down the aging process.
