We all know you should be chugging eight glasses of water a day, but sometimes, you just don’t get enough pit stops from your water bottle.
So if your skin is feeling tired and dry, one doctor suggests eating your way to a flawless complexion.
Dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad told Women’s Health:
“Eating foods that are rich in structured water, especially raw fruits and vegetables, will not only help your body hold onto water longer, you’ll get the added boost of important antioxidants, fibre and other nutrients.”
So what should you be munching to hydrate your skin?
While we all know cucumbers are good for us – the vegetable boasts 96% water composition. Other fruit and vegetables to snack on include avocados (made up of 82% of water) as well as broccoli and spinach (both packed with 92% water).
Not sure how to make the most of these water based greens?
Why not throw them into a breakfast smoothie for the ultimate morning boost?
