Speaking of nutrition, it’s interesting to know that there are foods that can help us improve the appearance of our skin.
Let’s see what to take together, based on our skin type:
DRY SKIN

Nutrition: we recommend foods that help to keep the body hydrated, such as:
- Cucumbers: made up of 96% water, offer nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C and fiber;
- Kiwi: for 83% composed of water, they are rich in vitamin C and useful for regulating cholesterol and blood pressure;
