You Are What You Eat and So Is Your Skin (Eucerin Giveaway…)

by

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.”  First recorded in the 19th-Century by a French physician studying the relationship between gout and diet, it has become a familiar tagline for healthy living.

Summer is the perfect time to take a look at which foods are good for us, especially for our skin. With summer in full-swing everyone is spending more time outdoors, which means that taking care of your skin is even more important.

Here’s what you should be eating for skin health, according to healthy-skincare.com. While there is science behind each of these recommendations, I’m not going there. Suffice it to say that each of these foods tastes good, is readily available and is chock-full of good stuff like antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids.

These foods help your skin cells rebuild and they help to maintain and retain essential moisture. Some fight acne and other skin problems, while carrots actually provide natural sun protection, about 2-4 SPF. That doesn’t mean you can skip the sunscreen, but every little bit helps, right?

  1. Brazil Nuts
  2. Carrots
  3. Berries
  4. Pomegranate Juice
  5. Salmon
  6. Avocados
  7. Sunflower seeds
  8. Dairy
  9. Whole Grains
  10. Green Tea

In addition to eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep help promote healthy skin. Since your skin is the barrier for all of your other organs and the body’s first line of defense, it makes sense that you should feed it the proper nutrients. And with summer in full swing, that shouldn’t be too hard.

Visit to the local farmers’ market, anyone?

  1. BSM – I love these foods and hate sunburns – good combination. Thanks for the entry into the giveaway. Your writing is great!

  3. Sweet! I drink lots of water! At least eight glasses a day. I find that, in addition to sunscreen daily, water really helps my skin!

  5. Tip – Get sleep 🙂
    I’d love to be entered to win Tiffypoot @ (aol.com)

  6. Love this. Thanks. Totally agree with the health/nutrition connection. We all need these reminders!

    • If you weren’t raised eating the nutrious foods mentioned in your article, it can be difficult getting your tastebuds used to them so that you enjoy them. I’ve seen these foods on numerous lists and try the ones I don’t like often. Salmon is probably the most difficult for me. The taste is strong but I sneak a bite off my husband’s plate whenever he eats it. Blueberries are another super food that I struggle with so I add a few to the berries that I do enjoy, hoping that one day I’ll enjoy them on their own. Of the 10 foods on your list that I like, I try to eat them on a regular basis and try to include them on the menu when I’m entertaining to get my friends and loved ones to eat them as well.

      I recently received a sample of Eucerin Everyday Protection Face SPF30 and must say I was skeptical at first because I’ve always loved the department store lines. I love it! I was worried that my skin may feel greasy or I’d have to wait longer than usual before applying my makeup, waiting for it to absorb sufficiently. I was pleasantly surprised that it absorbed quickly and impressed that I never once felt greasy during the day. It’s on my shopping list of things to buy and I’m extremely happy that I see savings in my future! Thanks Eucerin for the sample!

  11. My healthy eating tip is drink tons of ice cold water to keep me hydrated and my skin happy. The other tip is to check your local store for the best yoghurt on the planet – it is Noosa and my favorite is the Mango flavor. All natural, diabetic friendly – a mix between Greek and Regular yoghurt with a terrific carb/protein ratio. This product makes my mouth and soul happy every time I have it!

  74. I went blueberry picking the other day. Enjoying lemonade with blueberries is good for my skin.

  75. I use the Eucerin sensative moisturizer daily and moisturize from my hairline to my bra line, and don’t forget the back of the neck. And that is important, especially the days I go and pick blueberries, 7 gallons of them. Freeze them, before washing, and have them all year long. Nothing like fresh blueberries on your cereal, or with your winter oatmeal. Of course, I have to push myself to stay up on my water!

  80. I took the pledge on Eucerin’s FB page and I found your blog from them! Great stuff on here, thanks for sharing your tips & stories.

  86. Berries are my summer time favorite!! 🙂

    (Please enter me in the drawing as well!)

  89. Eucerin has been part of my family’s skin since my father, who was a physician in a logging and mill community, received samples in the mail.

  150. I start the day off by drinking a full glass of water as my mom said it helps wash all the impurities from your body. She had great skin even though she worked out in her garden every day.

  162. I only wash my face once a day, usually at night to avoid drying it out too much!

  163. When I was pregnant with my second child in 2001, i broke out with rosacia on my face. Not sure how to treat it and not sure what to use because of chemicals that leak through your skin and could possibly harm your baby, I tried eucerin everyday protection face lotion. I put it on everyday during my pregnancy. It didn’t clear up right away, but slowly I saw a huge difference in my skin! and even to this day! I have very clear skin now!

  187. What wonderful healthy tips! I love to cook (and eat) and know healthy food can taste amazing! The possibilities are ENDLESS and you can create anything your family will like! I like to experiment with 1 new recipe per month & then adjust it as necessary for my family.

  188. These are great tips, i make avacado masks with honey and my face is always blemish free and radiant.

  189. I would love to be entered in the drawing please. This is the only product I would use to protect my skin.

  202. Instead of icecream I cut up fruit and and put yogurt on it well I guess you call it a fruit salad!!!!

  209. I am looking for a sunscreen that doesn’t leave your face feeling greasy and sticky! I was glad to hear the testimonial that stated Eucerin has this product! Would love to try a sample…before adding another bottle of sunscreen to my huge bin of less than perfect purchases! Thanks for the chance!

  210. I try to use sunscreen every day….but most are just too heavy and oily! I am excited to try Eucerin…from what I have read here…it sounds like it is going to be my choice from here on out!

  211. Go to bed at the same time every night for a full nights sleep and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables during the day.

  212. I would love to be in for the drawing and I am really concerned about sunscreen. I have melanoma but it has been 10 years free, now. I also have very dry skin.

  214. Blueberries are in season. Who knew I was helping my skin while enjoying these sweet treats!

  216. Love Eucerin but budget only allows for store brands. 🙁 Would be delighted if I won! 🙂

  217. the samples came just in time. I used both this weekend before I headed out to the lake. Nice.

  218. Yay! I love Eucerin, so this is a awesome opprotunity. I love all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and I have two little girls, so I know the importance behind them. Also, I have always had really dry skin ands Eucerin has always helped me with that! Thanks for this great opprotunity!

  219. I’m taking the pledge to take care of my skin and eat the healthy foods. I am what I eat!

  220. I took the pledge!!

    Avacado:This creamy, green fruit is abundant in essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin, inside and out.

    Niacin (vitamin B3) is especially important for healthy skin, and avocados contain lots of it. Niacin, an anti-inflammatory, soothes irritated skin and red, blotchy skin. One avocado has 3.8 mg niacin – 27% of your daily need.

    Blend half an avocado with yogurt and frozen berries to make a creamy, nutty-flavored morning smoothie. Or try this Avocado Ice Cream recipe.

    And keep reading for an avocado face-mask recipe that will solve your dry skin problems instantly.

  221. So glad I received the samples of Eucerin! I went right out and bought the both
    Everyday lotions; for the face and body and hands. I wear them every day and I have very sensitive skin. I love that they are not too thick and a little goes a long way. I also like the fragrance free element as they do not conflict with my colognes. When eczema flared up on my hand the dermatologist recommended Eucerin and it worked very well. (I just wish I could find the Eucerin “lip therapy”. I have looked everywhere but cannot find it. I’d probably love that too!) What fantastic products; I would recommend them to anyone!

  222. Having fair skin, and living in Valley of the Sun, makes for using sun screen an absolute must! I use an spf 15 on my face but on my arms,legs, chest I use atleast spf 30. Also sunglasses are a must to protect your eyes, you would be surprised at the amount of people who donot wear them and children as well. In my family we all have 2-3 pairs, one for each car, and ones kept by the back door to grab on the way out to the yard.

  224. I found Eucerin about a yr ago & fell in love! It’s light & not the least bit greasy. Today I will not go outside without it!! Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen…

  225. I love Eucerin! It protects your skin all day and helps keep you looking young and safe from the sun!

  226. i burn real easy so if i know i am going to be out in the sun for long periods i take my umbrella with me it is my own personal private shade and it goes every where i do it is much easier than tryin to bring a tree with me. lol . i also grow my own blueberries and raspberries it does not take up much room and you can use planters. raspberries are not like black berries they will not take over. durin the summer i also like to make a tofu stir-fry you take extra firm tofu(or your favorite tofu) cut it into small squares or nice strips then add carrot slices, sliced onions, mushrooms, snap peas, and any other veggies you like also add a splash of sesame seed oil to coat the pan then add 2 caps of soysauce and 2 teaspoons of favorite terriaki sauce. feel free to add other things to it like seasame seeds or other fav seeds or anything else you think might taste good with it.

  228. I took the Pledge. I would love to win the giveaway!I love and buy your products!

  229. I took the pledge! I go to the lake 2 to 3 times a month during the summer and I wouldn’t think about going without some sort of sunscreen. I slather it on, and frequently. I’m thrilled to try Eucerin’s new lotion with sunscreen. I agree with most here that water is also an important key to great skin. Thanks for the chance to win full size Eucerin product. I’m crossing my fingers………

  231. I just got home from the store with 2 full pints of blueberries! They’re one of my favorites anyway, didn’t know they were so good for my skin.

  232. I love moisturisers with sunscreen! Thanks for entering me in the giveaway and for all the great advice!

  234. I loved the sample. I will use Eucerin everyday. Our skin is the largest organ of the body, which means it needs more love than the rest. Block the sun, moisturize and eat fresh fruits, veggies and whole grains. Your skin, and the rest of you, will thank you. Thank you Eucerin!

  238. I would love to win. Remember to exfolliate. And always wash your face before you go to bed no matter how tired you are. And always moisturize. Eucerine makes great products.

  241. Thanks for the info of skin healthy foods. I try to drink as much water as possible every day.

  243. Winter can be rough on my skin, I use eucerin all the time during winter months. I’d love to be entered in the giveaway!

  244. Glad to see that so many of the foods I already eat provide some natural sun screen. Since being fair skinned and a former strawberry blonde, the sun & I don’t always get along, lol

  245. Thanks for the tips – I bought early harvest (for Michigan) blueberries at my local farmer’s market this weekend & they are delish!

    (Oh, and please enter me for the Eucerin prize package – love that brand)

  249. I love Eucerin cream….its one of the only creams that works for me. I have been using it for about 25 or so yrs…..maybe more. LOVE IT! Unfortunately the price it out of my reach now 🙁 HOpe I win some

  251. I love Eucerin. I started using it this year and it’s the only thing I’ll use. Thanks. Please enter me as well.

  253. I’d love to try Eucerin…sure hope I win the prize pack! I’m going to try some of the great tips mentioned also! My tip to share is eat the real fruit instead of drinking fruit juice – better for you that way.

  254. watch sun exopsure and drink lots of water. eat healthy. sugary drinks do nothing for you.

  256. Drink lots of water and use a body and face lotion with UVA/UVB sunscreen in it.

  259. i can really tell when i stop drinking so many soft drinks – my skin looks better and i FEEL so much better

  260. My family loves blueberries, it is always in my house as well as others strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Fruit and skin care – all good for the mind and body

  262. Glad to hear the phrase, “You are what you eat,” resurrected. It was a savior “back when” and can be again.

  263. Never leave the house without sunscreen, drink plenty of water, eat right and get enough sleep. Thanks for the contest!

  264. You are what you eat and I love my vegies fruits and fishies. Once piece of dark chocolate a day is just fine for me.

    • You are what you eat and I love my veggies fruits and fishies. One piece of dark chocolate a day is just fine for me.

  267. Our cells are hugely water – we’ve got to keep actively hydrating them from the inside out. Drink it up! A good (really good) lotion on the skin caps our moisture reservoirs. And keep it in (well, okay, as much as we can)!

  268. Eucerin has a great group of products! My children have dry skin and I always try to keep them hydrated. I would TOTALLY love to win!

  270. I just signed up for the samples from the eurcerin Facebook page and took the pledge! I have excema on my hands throughout the winter and the doctors recommend that lotion!

  271. My doctor recommened Eucerin…she even gave me samples.

    I love avocadoes spread on thin wheat bread…yum yum…

  273. I love Eucerin. I’ve used it ever since I was given free sample by my Dr’s nurse. Also would love to be entered in the give away

  274. The nurse@my doctors office says I have the softest skin she’s ever felt. Other nurse said “and she touches lots of arms doing blood pressures”. My secret-Eucerin!. Put it on every day(use the type w/SPF )

  279. Someone told me that eating avocados was too fattening, so I only ate half (saved 30 grams of fat calories) and mashed the other half and applied it as a facial for thirty minutes, washed it off with warm water and finished off with tepid splashes of water. Using excellent lotion and cream products like Eucerin is also important for good skin care. Keep up the good work!

  280. A very simple way to start the day and to enhance your skin is to drink a glass of tepid water with 3 Tablespoons of lemon juice. Most of the information about this states that it must be fresh lemons – they are preferable, but I have found reconstituted concentrate to work well.

    This is so great that after about a week you’ll notice your skin looking ‘healthier’.

    It also helps by keeping the body alkaline.

  281. You have really good points about the nutrition connection to how we relate to the environment we live in. we and our environment are connected totally, what we breath, what we eat and drink. I do my best to stay in the shade as much as possible , I always use sun screen and I eat a vegetarian diet. I have to say the give away would be very cool!
    Thank you for your article.

  282. I have used eucerin for about 20 years, after being referred by my dermatologist and I have not stopped using it. I have eczema and this product has saved my life dealing with dry skin. I love it.

  283. Wear sunscreen every single day, drink plenty of water and try hard to be happy – it shows! Laugh frequently; laugh lines are okay. My daughter frequently ends conversations with “yes, I’m drinking plenty of water and wearing sunscreen” because she heard it from me so often, lol. (and I had already taken the pledge)

  284. I love to drink water…keeps me and my skin hydrated
    thanks
    i am very conscious about also using sun screen-my mom has had skin cancer
