How often have you not heard that true beauty comes from within or chocolate causes pimples? But is it true? Do our eating habits affect our complexion, nails or hair texture?
To get straight to the point: Yes, that’s right! Shiny hair, strong nails and a flawless complexion depend not only on annoyances. A look in the mirror always reveals how we have been treating our bodies lately.
Stress, which includes, for example, lack of sleep or malnutrition or malnutrition, harms appearance. Doctors also recommend changing the menu for a certain disease.

First Aid For Stressed Skin
Our skin needs a constant supply of protein, fat, vitamins and minerals to supply existing skin cells via the bloodstream and to be able to form new skin cells. Logically, this cannot function smoothly if important building blocks are missing.
Proteins are broken down and reassembled by enzymes. For example, these building blocks are used by the body to create new skin cells. Adequate protein intake is also important for firm connective tissue.
Fat is also need for new skin cells and the use of vitamins. Unsaturated fatty acids contained in vegetable oils are particularly suitable here. On the other hand, potassium and sodium regulate the moisture content of the skin. They are the best wrinkles and ensure a firm complexion.
Foods For The Skin
Good protein sources contain fish, lean meats, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and vegetables. Unsaturated fatty acids reduce skin reddening and dandruff. They are mainly found in high-quality vegetable oils (e.g. rapes and less oil) and oily fish (e.g. salmon and herring).
Vitamins and minerals are important for many processes in the body and are ingeste with vegetable fruit, meat, and fish. The daily supply of vitamins, protein and fats, and usable carbohydrates in the form of roughage should be in a very balance ratio to create the basis for beautiful skin!
Mask To Soothe The Skin
Because honey (organic honey) also has antibacterial properties, it makes an excellent base for a mask. Heat 4 tablespoons of honey and mix with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add a few drops of olive oil.
Now apply to the face (avoid the eyes, of course) and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Texture
If you want to work a little more, you can also fold in a soft avocado or pureed strawberries. The fruits will soften the skin.
It is particularly effective to relax with relaxing music during the exposure time. Then rinse with warm water.
Treat And Remove Acute Pimples
These can be dippe with tea tree oil (from the pharmacy) and a cotton swab. First, it is advisable to rub a small area on the forearm with tea tree oil and leave it on for 30 minutes.
If you have a tea tree oil allergy, it is easier to recognize on the forearm than face. Texture
