Dietary Intake for Skin

The MIneraw - Diet

   

A healthy dietary intake will not only guarantee a healthy body but it will also reflect on our skin health as it's the biggest indicator in our body. Acne breakout oftentimes result from an unhealthy dietary intake such as excessive alcohol, dairy intake, trans fat etc. We highly recommend individuals to  check the ingredients when buying food or skincare products as we have to be aware of our intake and what we apply on our face. Here we are to discuss some natural ingredients that could be integrated in our daily meal for an all rounded skin care.  

The Mineraw - Green Tea

Green Tea 

Drinking green tea helps the skin as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea helps protect your skin from damage and aging. The powerful compounds found in green tea are called catechins and work to improve the health of your skin. Like several other antioxidant-containing foods, green tea can help protect your skin against sun damage. Green tea also improved the moisture, roughness, thickness, and elasticity of their skin 

THE MINERAW - DARK CHOCOLATE

Dark Chocolate 

The effects of cocoa on your skin are pretty phenomenal as they help hydrate the skin. The high-antioxidant properties in dark chocolate allows your skin to withstand over twice as much UV radiation before burning thus proving it is a protectant to our skin barrier as well..

Fatty Fish 

Fatty types of fish such as salmon, mackerel, and herring, are excellent foods for healthy skin as they contain omega-3 fatty acids that can reduce inflammation and keep your skin moisturized. Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary to help keep skin thick, supple, and moisturized. They’re also a good source of high quality protein, vitamin E, and zinc.

tHE miNERAW - Avocado

Avocados 

Avocados are high in healthy fats. These fats benefit many functions in your body, including the health of your skin. Getting enough of these fats is essential to help keep skin flexible and moisturized. Avocados are high in beneficial fats and contain vitamins E and C, which are important for healthy skin. They also pack compounds that may protect your skin from sun damage.


We have suggested a few natural ingredients that individuals can add to their existing diet while having a meal or even snacking. Achieving the perfect skin does not only come from a good skin care routine but a healthy diet also gives a good balance to the goal.

The Mineraw - Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid for the Skin

Salicylic acid is an extract from the leaves of Willows which is referred to as its chemical exfoliant beta-hydroxy acid or BHA. Salicylic is an oil-soluble chemical exfoliant that helps penetrate deep into our pores and remove dirt, sebum and dead skin. Salicylic acid works best for mild acne . It can also help prevent future breakouts. Here are some benefits of using salicylic acid: Fights Inflammation  Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that helps reduce swelling and redness, especially for acne-prone skin. It also can help to kill the bacteria that can cause acne due to its antimicrobial properties without being harsh to the skin Removes dead skin cell  Salicylic acid helps to remove dead skin cells. This is important because dead skin cells can contribute to the development of acne and other skin problems. By removing dead skin cells, salicylic acid can help to keep your skin looking and feeling its best. Reduces sebum secretion  Salicylic acid can also help to reduce the amount of sebum that is produced by the skin. Sebum is an oily substance that can contribute to the development of acne. Clogged pores are also one of the main causes of acne. By reducing the amount of sebum that is produced by the skin, salicylic acid can help to keep pores clear and reduce the risk of developing acne. Soothes sunburn  Salicylic acid can also help to soothe sunburns. This is because it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce the swelling and redness associated with sunburn as it can help to prevent peeling and blistering by keeping the skin hydrated. Your doctor or dermatologist will recommend a form and dosage specifically for your skin type and your skin’s current condition. They might also recommend that, for 2 or 3 days, you only apply a limited amount to a small area of affected skin to test your reaction before applying to the entire area.

Supplements for Skin

Maintaining a healthy skin does not only come from a perfect skincare routine (If only it were that simple). Individuals would also have to be more attentive to their dietary intake, menstrual cycle and additional supplements taken to give our body the nutrients needed to perform our daily activities. Many of us wonder do not realise how some supplements can help us achieve our skin care goals while balancing a healthy lifestyle. We are here to discover the benefits of a few supplements such as Vitamin C, Fish Oil, and Collagen.  Vitamin C  Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that is a natural component of healthy skin. When we’re young, vitamin C levels in the skin's outermost two layers (epidermis and dermis) are abundant, but as we age, these levels naturally deplete. Unprotected sun exposure (UV damage) and pollution can accelerate this, leading to our skin looking and feeling dull, uneven, and less firm than it once was. Benefits: Ability to even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles While this powerhouse ingredient is well-known for its skin-brightening benefits, research also shows it can shield skin from the visible impacts of environmental stressors, including free radical damage.  Fish Oil (Omega 3) Omega 3 serves to regulate the skin's oil production, improve balanced hydration, subdue breakouts and minimize signs of aging. Omega-3s can also help soften rough, dry skin and have a soothing effect on irritation and dermatitis. But that's not all! Research shows that regularly taking fish oil may boost the skin's immunity to UV damage and skin cancer. Benefits: Balance its inflammatory response Improve the fatty acid composition in your skin Skin stays softer and less inflamed Minimize the effect of sun damage and improve sensitive skin conditions. Collagen  It’s the main component of connective tissues that make up several body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles. Collagen has many important functions, including providing your skin with structure and strengthening your bones. In recent years, collagen supplements have become popular. Most are hydrolyzed, which means the collagen has been broken down to make it easier to absorb.  Benefits: Improves skin health  Helps smooth wrinkles and boost skin elasticity  Helps promote anti aging  Even though supplements can help improve certain skin conditions, such as acne, and are necessary for people who don’t or can’t get enough nutrients from their diet, they’re not usually necessary for skin health. The truth is, when it comes to skin care, supplements can’t take the place of a nutritious diet. If you’re generally healthy and simply want to take care of your skin from the inside out, take a look at your diet to see what it might be missing.

Slugging for Skin

Ever come across the slugging method on TikTok and wondered if its a hack? Slugging is a K-beauty trend of generously applying a petroleum-based product as the final step in your routine, to help lock and seal in your skincare products overnight, and then washing it off with a cleanser the next day. Petroleum jelly is an occlusive that is not only amazing at soothing irritated skin and promoting wound healing, but it can act as a protective barrier for the skin. Slugging is proven to especially help individuals with dry skin or during winter time to help restore moisture to the skin.  Moisturizers hydrate your skin, while petroleum-based products are occlusives—meaning they lock in that hydration , which reduces transepidermal water loss. This helps skin retain moisture better. Here are some benefits of slugging:  Prevent TEWL  Slugging creates a seal over the skin, prevents transepidermal water loss, and protects and repairs your skin's natural lipid barrier that binds skin cells together. Occlusive means the product itself is non breathable. Thus, upon applying it on our skin, it helps lock in the water in between the layers of our skin that is usually lost due to heat, activities, etc.  Protect The Skin Barrier  By reinforcing the lipid barrier, it is artificially strengthening the way that your skin protects itself. If you're dealing with dryness or skin damage right now and want to give your moisture level a boost to try to rebalance your skin, slugging is a great reparative approach. However, we do recommend individuals to slug modestly as too much of something in skincare could harm your skin as well. As slugging would lock in the skin care product before the petroleum jelly, we do advise individuals to not include active ingredients like niacinamide, retinol and other active ingredients as they would not react well with the petroleum jelly. Individuals with oily skin may also want to practise sluggin once a week first to analyse how it reacts to their skin.
