You spend a lot of time thinking about how to feed your body, now it’s time to think about how to use food to nourish your face.
Reinvigorate With: açai and goji berries and pomegranate extract
EVIDENCE: While no food can turn back the clock, some can perk up your appearance. According to Lisa Leibov, director at Imbalie Training Academy, vitamin C (which pomegranates, berries and açai are high in) can help you retain firm, youthful skin, plus it minimises excess pigment formation.
TRY: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist (R350). Use it in the morning, post-sweat session, pre-touch-up or before you get your beauty sleep. Perfect for your on-the-go travel needs.
Nourish With: green and rooibos tea
EVIDENCE: Are you a tea person? Good on you. Tea is packed with antioxidants and a study in The Journal of Nutrition found that people who sipped brews containing green tea had skin that was more elastic and smooth than those who didn’t. The catechins in the leaves boost oxygen and blood flow to the skin, which delivers key nutrients to keep your complexion healthy. Rooibos is packed with antioxidants too!
