3 foods that moisturize your skin from within

Youthful, smooth and radiant skin have one thing in common: moisture. Moisture is the key to beautiful skin, but there are many factors that can dry out the skin and endanger the signs of aging.

Winter is largely responsible for dry and dehydrated skin, as cooler temperatures mean drier air, which draws moisture from the skin. That's why we suffer from cracked skin and a pale complexion that is thirsty for moisture and care, especially in winter.

If you're looking for delicious autumn recipes, you can't go past butternut squash. This colorful vegetable is rich in vitamins A and C, which provide the skin with moisture and nutrients, ensuring a healthy, rosy complexion. Vitamin A strengthens the skin barrier and thus reduces moisture loss through the pores, while vitamin C promotes collagen formation, which keeps the skin supple and firm.

SPINACH

Since kale has flooded our Instagram feeds and replaced spinach, many people have forgotten how incredibly nutrient-rich spinach is. But there is some good news: With the increasing awareness of fresh, unprocessed foods, spinach has also become popular again and is now a must-have in juices and smoothies!

Spinach is an incredible 92% water, but unlike a simple glass of tap water, it is packed with magnesium, potassium and vitamin B, which nourish the skin from the inside out.

For a delicious energy boost, simply mix the leaves into a green smoothie or try this hearty, warming soup from this superfood.

DARK CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRIES

Bet we've got your attention now!? You might think that chocolate is one of those things you should stay away from, but if it's dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao, you can indulge in a few pieces with a clear conscience. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which fight free radicals and keep your skin hydrated and glowing.

Strawberries are made up of an impressive 87% water, as well as fiber and vitamin C, which aid digestion and reduce skin inflammation.

Strawberries and chocolate are not only a dream for the taste buds, but also for the skin!
