Salmon: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help support skin hydration, elasticity and reduce inflammation that can contribute to skin irritation and premature ageing. Salmon also provides high-quality protein which is important for skin repair and regeneration.
Collagen powder: Provides amino acids like glycine and proline, which are key structural components of collagen. These help support skin elasticity, firmness and overall skin repair.
Greek yoghurt or kefir: Provide protein and beneficial bacteria that support the gut microbiome. A healthy microbiome is closely linked to lower inflammation, improved nutrient absorption and more balanced skin.
Avocado + olive oil: Rich in healthy fats and vitamin E which help support the skin barrier, maintain hydration and protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
Anchovies + parmesan: Provide minerals, healthy fats and nutrients that support overall cellular function and skin health.
