While we can nourish and hydrate our skin with our favourite bettyquette face oils – Get Up And Glow® and Sleep On It® – when it comes to achieving glowing skin, a boost from within can also help.

There are a variety of foods that can assist in the quest for naturally beautiful skin.

Here are 6 super foods for glowing skin + a recipe for you too. Enjoy!

1. Strawberries

These little red gems are packed full of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps keep your skin looking smooth and firm.

2. Nuts

Packed with healthy fats, nuts like walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds, as well as seeds like chia and flaxseed are great sources of vitamin E.

Vitamin E helps keep your skin soft and supple.

Not a nut lover? Don’t worry. Vitamin E is an oil we use in both our face oil products. Get your daily dose of it here.

3. Dark Chocolate

Yes, chocolate. The dark/raw cacao variety contains anti-ageing antioxidants called flavonoids.

They fight free radicals to protect your skin from UV damage and help prevent the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and skin discolouration.

4. Carrots

Carrots are a winner for glowing skin, thanks to the large amount of beta-carotene they contain.

Beta-carotene prevents premature ageing by acting as an antioxidant, a substance that reduces oxygen damage caused by UV light, pollutions and other environmental hazards such as smoking.

5. Blueberries

Blueberries are loaded with anti-oxidants and vitamins that help protect your skin from premature ageing.

6. Avocados

Rich in poly and monounsaturated fatty acids, avocados help keep your skin looking firm and dewy, help regenerate damaged skin cells, and reduce redness and irritation.

And now for a recipe!

The Bettyquette Beauty Stack

The Bettyquette Beauty Stack is easy to make, tastes delicious and is packed full of superfoods your skin will love.

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:

Grab a glass, layer your super foods and enjoy!

Helpful hints:

• If yoghurt isn’t your thing, replace with milk of your choice. Strawberry yoghurt was used for this Skin Boss Stack, but any flavour will taste delicious.
• If you can’t find/don’t like strawberries or blueberries, simply swap them for different fruits.
• Look for a muesli that’s packed with a powerful antioxidant punch. Carmen’s Original Fruit Free Muesli is used in this recipe.

Time poor?

Don’t panic. You can still achieve healthy, glowing skin.

A few drops of our day face oil, Get Up And Glow®, will have you sorted in no time!
