Okay.
Super foods in skincare.
We all know how important food is for our body to ingest it.
But what about for our skin?
Certainly we eat things and it shows it in our skin just like sleep does.
However, superfoods are also great in skincare and these are things you
can do at home and take care of to have beautiful, healthy, vibrant skin.
Hit the like button and subscribe the super foods.
Not only help the body from the inside, but they also make
great topical skincare products.
They just seem to work.
Super foods, tend to be high in antioxidants and fatty acids, and
they have a healthy dose of news.
Happily for us.
These foods work well, topically delivering the benefits
directly to the surface of skin.
A lot of people tell you about absorption.
There's no way they can get in the skin.
They don't work.
Understand sure.
We can study molecule size.
We can study the skin, but how do you argue with real life experience?
Certainly they have benefits.
A greater understanding of the process has also led to a growing trend.
In these super food skincare routines.
If you haven't already, now's the time to adopt them for yourself.
My altar moisture finishing cream also contains many super foods and oils.
It's why it's the perfect balancing point.
For retinol irritation, dryness from H firming creams or per simply
those who want a super clear glassy, smooth hydrated look to their skin.
Let's review superfoods in skincare have two main common denominators.
One is they have antioxidants, powerhouse and green.
Within the skincare and they're popular for their ability to reduce the appearance
of fine lines, help the skin look firmer.
We all like firmness and to calm and soothe the skin.
A lot of times people are walking around with irritated skin because
they're trying to get it tighter using too much retinol cause using too
much retinol aldehydes antioxidants.
Our go-to.
For this type of skin, that's irritated, but also mature skin.
And those who are looking to keep their youthful skin that way.
So prevention as we call it.
The second is omega fatty acids.
Not only do almost all super foods have the high levels of multiple antitoxins,
but there also have these fatty acids.
And vitamins there as a rough overview, we'll discuss some of
the properties of these most common fatty acids, and then dig into our
favorite superfood ingredients.
My two favorite fatty acids are number one, linoleic acid, also known as Omar.
Six it's a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid.
It's found mostly in plant oils.
It helps keep water in an aids in creating dry oils for fast absorption skin remains
hydrated and look supple and smooth.
These oils are good for body oils.
You'll see them.
After a shower oils, a lot of people place oils after the shower to
hold the moisture in and they're all seized on face and hair.
It always surprises me how important hair care is to people, not just
for men, but more so for women.
And often they use oils and their healthy ingredients.
High, a little lake acid include GrapeSEED oil evening Primrose oil,
hemp, seed oil, and apricots kernel oil.
You'll see these in my ultra moisture.
The second one, oleic acid or omega nine.
It's a mono unsaturated fatty acid that absorbs well aids
and softening of the skin.
And it's ideal for deep nourishment and moisturizing oils in
oleic acid or extra occlusive.
And they help seal that moisture and making it ideal.
For dryer skin.
And these can of course be combined, but oils high in oleic
acid have a longer shelf life than the ones in linolenic acid.
So you might see these more predominantly because they hold in there.
Um, and they allow the cream to have a longer shelf life.
They work well with night cream, serums and eye creams.
I tend to like combinations and I have both in my ultra moisture
ingredients, high in oleic acid.
The one, everyone loves avocado oil, your hobo oil, although
that is more of a balanced one.
Um, you'll also see it in C Buckhorn.
Also marula seed oil, sweet almond oil.
It's a very common one and punicic acid or omega five where fatty acids believed to
be one of the most powerful antioxidants known to modern science and where
people know it from is pomegranate oil.
My favorite super foods in skincare.
Are as follows.
Number one aside, it's an extremely rich antioxidant ingredient.
And one of the first described as a super food along with blueberries,
of course, the fruit of the Berry moisturizes and hydrates the skin as well.
Number two, you see this.
So commonly now, blue, green algae.
It's one of my favorites on the list when it comes to food, this
is one of the most nutrient.
Food ounce for ounce known to be creative by nature.
That's why it's in all of the skincare.
It boasts 20 antioxidants, 68 minerals in all essential amino acids.
And of course, many other nutrients.
But you can see it's packed.
Blue-green algae possesses the full vitamin B spectrum, including B12,
also healthy dose of vitamin K.
And I have videos and vitamin K and K2.
Of course, the one vitamin deficiency that may be wrinkling your skin
because it's, um, been shown to be effective for bone loss.
And a lot of people lose sight of the fact that, um, bone loss
plays a role in the aging space, particularly when we say people.
Old there's old and there's tired tires, more bad pads.
Old is optimal, only changes next sea buckthorn, Berry oil.
It's beautiful orange color demonstrating its high beta carotene content.
We all know beta currently.
It has both a lake and little egg acids, and it's ideal for maturing skin.
So it's a combination, like I mentioned, you should use less than 2%.
Why you risk temporarily staining the face and you know this from beta carotene.
Cause it can do that a little bit like turmeric can, but it's
a star ingredient for sure.
Moringa seed oil.
Another one has an extra dose of antioxidants along with vitamins.
C an E it's mature, mature skin friendly, and it provides a nice youthful glow.
It's one of the characteristics of that one.
Um, it has a stable shelf life.
So again, you tend to see that when you use plum oil, another
one, it's a delicious Mazzi PON scent high in fatty acids.
It also has the antioxidant rich beta carotene that we talked about.
Plum oil makes an excellent base for lip products.
And that's often where you see it.
Uh, it has an Allmand scent typically as well.
Yeah.
Pomegranate oil.
Yeah.
It's another favorite of mine.
I talk about pomegranate of course, all the time.
Extremely high in Antioch.
Fatty acids, vitamin C and K.
You can't go wrong with pomegranate, both in skincare and ingesting it.
I love it.
A lot of raspberry trout to remember, this is what I drink with this soda water.
And it's a medium chain triglyceride, meaning it's more
easily absorbed in the skin.
Absorption is important, even for super foods of the skin.
We do want some absorption.
Of course, it's also home of the.
Punicic acid, which is ideal for skin recovery and maturing skin Macia powder.
Although it's devoid of any fatty acids, it has other wonderful benefits
as a super food for your skin.
It's well-known as a strong antioxidant and the caffeine helps with toning skin.
The polyphenols found in tea are present here as well.
A lot of people are drinking tea for the poly binos in addition
to other amino acids as well.
It's great for you.
As a toner or in a face mask, you can check out my video on oily skin.
And I talk about some different masks there here's one, not a lot
of people think of cranberry oil.
Did you think of that one it's actually made up of roughly 70% battery acids
delivering high quantities of lentils.
And oleic acids.
And I liked those combos because you get both in there and they're both important.
It also possesses many them other wonderful compounds as well.
So keep that in mind.
There's also two copper alls Plato.
Phospholipids vitamin a.
So don't miss out on that one.
Pumpkin seed oil, it serves many purposes derive from the vitamins and the fatty
acids that are present within it.
It improves the appearance of aging skin with vitamins.
Zinc and it calms and moisturizes the skin, the zinc and the selenium,
along with the vitamin E and fatty acids work synergistically.
This oil is suitable for sensitive skin.
So if you, if you're tending towards sensitive skin, which more and more
people seem to be, especially those with rosacea or reds as they age, this is
one you want to consider the hemp seed.
It's a big to do in skincare.
A lot of people were putting it in for a while.
I see it declining a little bit.
Let me know if you see that, but it's a natural moisturizer with multiple fatty
acid skin craves, omega acids in this oil, and also it's supplemented by vitamin D
to help achieve that soft hydrated look, turmeric everyone's taking it further.
A lot of people like it, it's tasting colorful.
Of course opt-in uses a seasoning, but it's ideal for problematic skin.
It displays noticeable and eye oxidant qualities, but it's wonderful for calming
and soothing now because of its color.
And people worry that it might stain, you don't think of it as a soothing
ingredient, but remember it's an anti-inflammatory, although it can.
Stain the skin its CO2 extract is easily added to lotions creams.
And of course, scrubs, turmeric is something you definitely
want to look into now.
Avocado oil, it's prized for its moisturizing properties
and it has a broad selection.
Of the fatty acids now avocado it's people know it because they like it.
They put it in food stock to be healthy, but also people who don't eat a lot
of meat or get other sources of fat.
It's one of, if not the most fatty vegetable there is.
So we know intuitively that.
Have fats, it absorbs well.
And the avocado plant as a whole is being embraced in both skin and haircare because
you do see it more and more in shampoos.
So those are some super foods.
It's quite the list, but understanding.
Every skin is different.
People have sensitive skin.
Some people need more oil.
Some people need less.
That is my favorite list of ingredients.
Here's a complete playlist on skincare for you that you can do
at home to keep your skin and body beautiful, healthy, and vibrant.
