CHOCOLATE MAY BE SNACKED ON

Because together with avocado, melon, and kiwi, it's really good for your skin

– This is what you should eat –

All those jars and creams on your vanity can actually also be found in the fridge Sounds super cliché, but being beautiful starts from within, and what you eat is quite important. You can probably imagine that if you spend the whole day eating Snickers, speculaas cookies, and chewing gum, it won't suddenly give you a smooth and shiny skin. No, for that, you dive into the fridge, the paradise of vitamins and other skin ingredients. So stock up, I’ll give you the shopping list.

Avocado

We have already bombarded you with facts about avocado, but one more could be added to that list. Avocado also helps to hydrate. Moreover, it repairs skin cells that you have neglected in the past. So if you didn't take good care of your skin before, avocado is your remedy to catch up on the damage. Also delicious; avocado in combination with salmon. Works like a charm to hydrate your skin even more.

Green bean

Carrot ensures that you don't turn into a Oompa Loompa because eating a lot of carrots helps you maintain a healthy, fresh skin. With a healthy glow.

Kiwi

Packed with vitamin C that stimulates collagen production. And collagen keeps your skin tight. One kiwi a day and there will be no wrinkles in sight.

“Good excuse for a Bloody Mary”

Melon

Also handy against those wrinkles. It contains so much water that the moisture level in your skin is significantly replenished. And that also helps to prevent wrinkles and makes the skin look softer and nicer.

Cucumber

Besides the fact that cucumber slices work great as a cooling eye mask, it also acts as a hydration cannon. It contains a lot of water, so your skin stays nourished and fresh. No dryness in sight.

Dark chocolate

Something else can definitely be included in the list. As long as it helps. After all those vegetables, you probably also crave a nice snack. At least 70% cocoa, because that works for the antioxidants in the skin and gives you a nice glow. A clear complexion, all thanks to chocolate. You want that.

Tomato

No sunscreen on hand? Eat some extra tomatoes. They actually increase the ‘natural’ SPF in the skin, making sun damage less severe and dark spots less likely. Good excuse for a Bloody Mary.

Apricot

Dead skin cells are waved goodbye, because apricot actually promotes the production of new cells. Super handy. This way, you keep a smooth and shiny skin. Oh, and scrubbing with some salt to really get rid of the dead skin cells can’t hurt either. But well, we are still in the category of food.

Strawberries

Now is your chance, because strawberries are real vitamin C bombs. They make you instantly happy and really give you the most beautiful skin.
