There’s nothing superficial about skin.

It’s your body’s largest organ — your first layer of defense and a direct reflection of what’s happening inside. And in summer, your skin takes a hit from sun, heat, and dehydration.

But here’s the good news: what you eat can nourish, protect, and heal your skin from the inside out. And when your skin glows? So does your confidence, energy, and presence — both in business and in life.

Here are some summer skin superfoods that work as well as your favorite serum — maybe better:

🍅 Tomatoes – Rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin from UV damage and inflammation.  Add them to cucumbers, olive oil, and add fresh herbs and sea salt to make a refreshing salad.

🥒 Cucumbers – High in water and silica to hydrate skin and reduce puffiness. Add them to salads, water, or yogurt dips.  For a more refreshing twist, add mint to your water.

🫐 Berries – Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are packed with vitamin C and polyphenols that support collagen and elasticity.  You can add these to your water too, and add basil to compliment the sweetness of the fruit.

🥑 Avocados – Loaded with healthy fats and vitamin E, which moisturize and protect your skin from oxidative stress.

🫒 Olive oil – A skin-soothing staple. Its polyphenols help fight inflammation while supporting skin texture and tone.  Money saving tip:  Save the best quality olive oil (preferably organic) for finishing (salads, protein, etc.)

🥗 Leafy greens –Arugula, and romaine, and red salads are rich in hydration, minerals, and skin-repairing nutrients like zinc and folate.

🌿 Bonus tip: Add herbs like basil and mint to your salad or water for extra antioxidants and digestive support — because a healthy gut = happy skin.

(Oh, and make sure you thoroughly wash your face in the morning and especially after taking off makeup!)

When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good — you lead better.
