15 Plant-Based Recipes for healthy skin glow.
Skin is the largest organ in the body, and it requires lots of love and care! One of the main issues people struggle with when it comes to their skin is dryness. If your skin feels too dry, you need to eat hydrating foods. Vitamin E, present in plenty of plant-based foods has skin healing properties. It can heal wounds, provide photoprotection, and is anti-inflammatory. Zinc is another nutrient that is very essential to skin health, a deficiency of it can cause dryness, breakouts, and more. Certain plant-based foods such as tahini, walnuts, avocado, and more contribute to a healthy skin glow!
