When you think of snacking, you probably think of junk food like pretzels and ice cream. But did you know that some snacking is actually good for your skin?

Eating every few hours is a good way to keep your blood glucose, or blood sugar, stable.

That means fewer breakouts, rashes and wrinkles. But what snacks help your skin? Those that contain fiber, protein and healthy fats.

Instead of opting for rice cakes or pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, choose nuts or hummus with a gluten-free cracker.

Strawberries with dark chocolate are also a sweet treat. But if the berries aren’t in season, just go for a small amount of the dark chocolate. Research shows that it helps us have smoother, moist skin. Plus, cocoa is high in antioxidants.

Nuts, which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, have the ability to diminish wrinkles! Choose walnuts, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. They are rich in omega 3’s and offer skin-plumping benefits, too.

Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamins C and A. Both are essential for healthy glowing skin. Choose sweet potato chips to help you get and keep great skin. The important thing here is to gradually move away from very processed snacks.

Initially, you might not feel as satisfied, but as your tastes change—and they will—you’ll find you eat less and look healthier!

As we grow old, our bodies change. More nutrition is needed, metabolism goes slower, wrinkles appear, and so on.
Our diet plays a huge factor on how we age.

Foods that are high in simple sugars, carbohydrates and bad fats wreak havoc not just on your health, but also your skin!

Skin professionals have long known of the many benefits of applying topical nutrients such as vitamin C to the skin.

In fact, topical application of vitamin C has shown some impressive results in reversing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reducing inflammation, and improving the health of skin.

This is why a lot of skincare companies boast of making products that have vitamins to give your skin a glowing, youthful look.

But we know that it takes more than skin care to make great skin. Too much highly processed food, and sodas will wreak havoc on your health and your skin.

We encourage all of our clients to skip the bad fat, high carb diet. Choose real foods that add more skin glowing effects and health benefits.

The point is to take care of your skin from the inside out. Get facials and other clinical treatments to slow down time.

But choose to keep that love going when you pick up a fork! The treatments and products that you use from us will work so much better.

Carbohydrates And Your Skin By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005

Carbohydrates are sugars that break down inside the body to create glucose, which is our primary source of energy.

Eating foods rich in carbs is great, but unfortunately, we often eat way too many of them!

Dr, Jessica Wu, the Hollywood dermatologist, said this. “In one study, volunteers who ate a high carb diet experienced a 20% increase in their levels of androgens (“male” hormones that stimulate oil glands and cause acne) after just one week; volunteers who ate a diet high in protein had balanced blood sugar and lower levels of androgens in a week.”

Also, carbohydrates interact with proteins in your skin. This stimulates enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, making skin thinner and more prone to wrinkles.

Balance carbohydrates with protein and fresh vegetables. Avoid the refined stuff and stick with whole grains for glowing, beautiful skin!

Did you know that snacking can actually be good for your skin? The trick is to eat the right foods every few hours to keep your blood sugar stable for fewer breakouts, rashes, and wrinkles.

What’s the secret? Well, for starters, do NOT skip meals! This just makes you tired and causes your body to store fat. When you finally do eat, your blood sugar goes sky high and your insulin level rises. And that means more oil production and the release of more male sex hormones. (In case you’re wondering, that’s a bad thing!)

Now before you run out and buy a bunch of rice cakes and pretzels, which break down quickly in your body, know this. The best snacks for your skin contain fiber, protein, and healthy fats, allowing you to maintain a steady blood sugar level.

Does that mean snacking has to be boring? Only if you consider strawberries dipped in dark chocolate boring! Include small packs of dried cherries and almonds, too.

Love your skin and it will love you back!

You know it’s important to eat fruits and vegetables to get a good source of
Vitamin C. Without this crucial vitamin your health becomes severely compromised.

But did you know that for the best anti-aging results, it’s best to get your vitamin
C topically? You simply can’t safely ingest enough of it to get the desired results.

And the results are nothing short of amazing! This powerful antioxidant slows free radical damage, those pesky, unstable molecules that damage collagen, cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles.

But there is a catch. Vitamin C is unstable. If it is poorly prepared, then its benefits are lost. You can rest assured that the vitamin C we carry has been carefully prepared, preserving its powerful benefits.

We’re serious about skincare and it shows on your beautiful face!
