With spring in full bloom and sunnier days ahead, everyone’s focus starts to shift to the annual summer glow-up, which oftentimes includes focusing on fitness and healthier eating habits after the needed comfort foods in the winter slump. One of the natural results of focusing on healthier habits is that your skin benefits in the process. Considering it is our biggest organ, what we eat and put on it can have a positive or negative impact.
Warmer weather means various fruits and vegetables are now in season, perfect for a smoothie that can help you achieve the spring and summer glow. Head to your local farmers market or drop by the grocery store to get these easy, fresh ingredients and enjoy a delicious blueberry smoothie.
Blueberries are well-known for being a skin superfood, but why? The main reason is how many vitamins and antioxidants blueberries have in them.1 All of these make blueberries perfect for repairing the skin and fighting against wrinkles, inflammation, and many of the harmful causes linked to acne.2 Similar to blueberries, some fruits and vegetables like cranberries, acai, kale, and spinach are fantastic for the skin.3
