How to Eat for Fairer Skin When Your Complexion Always Looks Dull

Many beauty seekers believe that whitening mainly depends on innate skin type and the skincare products chosen later in life. In fact, this is just a part. If we mix our diet reasonably, whitening will be more natural. Eating wrong, no matter how much whitening is done, it’s useless.

1. Foods to Eat for Radiant Skin

 

1.1 Fish: Tighten the skin

To have youthful and tight skin, there is nothing more effective than eating fish. Fish contains a magical chemical substance that can act on the muscles beneath the skin, making them tighter and the skin naturally tense and elastic.

1.2 Beef: For a Healthy Glow

Beef contains a large amount of zinc, with 4.73 milligrams of zinc per 100 grams of beef. Zinc has the ability to make the skin smooth and delicate, while also having detoxifying properties. It can maintain the oil balance of the skin, accelerate the metabolism of the skin, and give you a bright complexion. Eating 250 grams of beef every day can provide you with 15 milligrams of zinc, which basically meets the daily needs of the human body.

When eating beef, you can pair it with onions, which contain almost all the nutrients found in most vegetables, such as vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. In addition, onions also contain quercetin, which can reduce redness or swelling of the skin around the eyes and nose.

1.3 Chicken: Make Your Hair Shiny and Shiny

It makes you look younger and full of healthy charm. To maintain healthy hair, it is essential to provide sufficient nutrition.

Chicken contains a substance called methionine, which is important for the health of hair, skin, and nails. If it is missing, hair will become fragile, prone to splitting, and lack luster. So, to achieve healthy hair, you can eat more chicken. In addition to chicken, corn, cereal, and even chocolate have the same effect.

1.4 Almonds: Give You Sturdy Nails

Pink, shiny and hard nails are healthy and beautiful nails. Eating some almonds every day can provide the body with the necessary vitamin E. Vitamin E is known as the “secret weapon” of cell membranes, which can repair and strengthen cell walls, making nails tough and shiny. In addition, vitamin E has been proven to have anti-aging and immune enhancing effects.

1.5 Apples: Make Your Teeth Whiter

Apples contain a type of polyphenol that is easily dissolved in water, making them easily absorbed by the human body. This magical “apple phenol” has antioxidant and melanin inhibiting effects. In addition, among all fruits containing vitamin C, apples have the highest content.

Vitamin C can effectively inhibit the formation of melanin in the skin, help eliminate skin pigmentation, increase hemoglobin, and delay skin aging. Fruits rich in fiber require more time to chew, and during the chewing process, a large amount of saliva can be secreted. Saliva is the best protector of teeth, which can prevent tooth decay and prevent bacteria from adhering to teeth, making it easier for teeth to stay clean for a long time.

1.6 Eggs: Natural Sunscreen Premium

Eggs contain a large amount of selenium element, which is used to build a natural “sun protection layer” on your face. People all know that sunlight is an important cause of skin aging, as ultraviolet radiation can damage cell structure and cause rapid skin aging. Therefore, it is very important to build a natural protective layer for one’s skin.

In addition, selenium in eggs can also reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. So, to protect your skin, you should eat an egg or take selenium tablets every day.

2. Foods to Limit for a Dull Complexion

 

“The beauty of a woman is what she eats” makes perfect sense. A reasonable diet and targeted food can bring out a woman’s beauty from the inside out.

2.1 Eat Less Foods Rich in Tyrosine

Tyrosine is the basic substance of melanin, which is converted from tyrosine through the action of tyrosinase. If the intake of tyrosine is reduced, the basic substance for synthesizing melanin is also reduced, and melanin is reduced, resulting in a natural whitening of the skin. So we should eat less tyrosine rich foods, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

2.2 Avoiding Food Imbalance

A healthy body fluid environment is usually weakly alkaline. When the intake of acidic and alkaline foods is imbalanced in daily diet, it may lead to a slightly acidic blood, which in turn can cause physical discomfort and exacerbate pigmentation. To maintain the ideal weak alkaline state of body fluids, effectively prevent and fade pigmentation, it is recommended to increase the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and other foods, while moderately controlling the intake of strong acidic foods such as meat, alcohol, and high sugar.

2.3 Eat Less Photosensitive Vegetables

Celery, cilantro, fennel, white radish, and other foods that are prone to absorbing ultraviolet rays from sunlight can accelerate pigmentation, resulting in pigmentation and darkening of the skin. Therefore, before going out, one should not consume these vegetables, but should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwifruit, tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, cauliflower, etc.

2.4 Eat Less Fried Food

Eating fried foods is not only easy to gain weight, but also contains oxidants that accelerate skin aging, so it is advisable to eat as little as possible. It is advisable to supplement some vitamin E foods before eating to resist aging, such as pumpkin, spinach, carrot, whole wheat bread, peanut, sesame, brown rice, etc.

2.5 Eat Less Food Containing Additives

Food additives such as chicken essence, preservatives, and artificial colors can increase the burden on internal organs and hinder the elimination of melanin, leading to the formation of black spots and freckles.
