5 Foods That Will Make You Look Better Right Now

Food is one of life’s great pleasures, but little did you know that eating well can also mean looking better? Yes, eat certain foods and suddenly your hair will be shinier, your skin will have a phenomenal glow, and even your nails will be stronger.


Wanting the lowdown on what foods to add into your diet to get serious beauty benefits? Here are 5 awesome tips.


1. Olive Oil
Olive oil is something you should eat all year round. It kind of moisturizes your body on the inside, and the way that you are inside reflects on the outside. It helps with growth of nails and shiny hai


2. Avocados
A Avocado is a complete food—it has so many nutrients that are so good for you. Avocados, loaded with monounsaturated fat and lutein are known to ward off aging, and have even been said to make you look younger, so stock up. Eat an avocado with a little salt and some lime to give it a little more flavor. Half an avocado for breakfast is one of my favorites. Avocado on toast is another meal I love. For kids try to mix it into eggs or even pancakes. Avocado makes the pancakes even fluffier and more buttery.


3. Coconut Oil and Grape Seed Oil
Cook with coconut oil. It is also really good for you and makes you look better on the outside [is a bonus]. Depending on what your cooking, sometimes use coconut oil instead of olive oil. I also use grape seed oil instead of canola oil. Grape seed oil is great because it’s flavorless, it has a high smoking point, and has no synthetics in it like a lot of oils do. I like to use natural oils that are healthier and very moisturizing to the body.”

Grape seed oil is rich in Vitamin E, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Coconut oil is full of beauty benefits too.

4. Almonds
My favorite go-to for a healthy snack when im short on time is almonds. I like to make my own trail mix, I add some dried fruit like dried cranberries and mini chocolate chips. Bonus that almonds are a major source of vitamin E and are known to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in your face and help cure acne.

5. Baking Soda
Besides foods that you can ingest to make you look better, there are plenty of items in your pantry that are great to introduce into your beauty regimen. Make a scrub from baking soda and olive oil and mix it up with a little bit of water. Exfoliate your face with it every day and you can use it on your body, too.
