5 Foods That Naturally Support Glowy, Clear Skin This Summer
Share
You’ve heard it before your skin is a reflection of what’s going on inside.
And while a solid skincare routine (especially one filled with natural, nourishing ingredients hello Rêver Beau 👋) is essential, what you eat can either support that glow… or completely sabotage it.
As we head into warmer weather, your body starts craving lighter, hydrating foods and your skin? It’s right there with you.
So if you’re chasing that dewy, clear, lit-from-within glow this summer, here are 5 skin-loving foods to load up on.
1. Avocados – the skin softener
Avocados are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamin E both of which help keep your skin plump, moisturised and smooth. Think of it as nature’s moisturiser, but from the inside out.
They also support your skin barrier, which is key for locking in moisture and protecting against irritation. Add them to smoothies, spread them on toast, or just eat them by the spoonful (we won’t judge).
2. Blueberries – the free radical fighter
Tiny but mighty, blueberries are rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin C and anthocyanins. These help protect your skin from environmental damage (like UV rays and pollution) and reduce inflammation two big players when it comes to acne and dullness.
Plus, their high fibre content supports gut health, which plays a huge role in skin clarity.
3. Carrots – the glow givers
Carrots are high in beta carotene, a plant pigment your body converts into vitamin A essential for skin cell renewal. It helps improve skin tone, reduces flakiness, and adds a subtle warm glow to your complexion.
They’re also super easy to throw into juices, salads, or snack on raw. Pair them with a healthy fat (like hummus or olive oil) for better absorption.
4. Salmon (or flaxseeds for a plant-based swap) – the calmers
Omega 3 fatty acids help calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support your skin’s natural barrier. A strong barrier = less water loss, less irritation, and more bounce.
Salmon is one of the best sources, but if you're plant-based, flaxseeds and chia seeds are great options too. Add them to your morning oats or smoothies and thank us later.
5. Cucumber – the hydration hero
You already know hydration is key to glowing skin and cucumber is about 96% water. Eating water-rich foods not only keeps your skin plump and fresh, but also helps flush out toxins that can build up and lead to breakouts.
Bonus: cucumbers are also rich in silica, a compound that supports collagen production and elasticity.
A Final Word on That Summer Glow
Skin health is never just about what you put on your face. It’s a whole-body thing and what you eat plays a big part in that glow-up.
So next time you’re thinking about upgrading your skincare routine, consider what’s on your plate too. Pair a skin-friendly diet with natural products that actually support your skin’s needs (like our Calm Cactus Oil or Hemp Dream Cream), and you’ll be glowing through every season.
