Get Perfect skin

Eat protein

Forget lathering on expensive creams and nips ‘n tucks, the kindest thing you can do for your skin is to feed it protein. This nutrient is vital for fresh, vibrant, healthy skin as the body needs it to make amino acids, a molecule that is used to build and repair cells. Skin cells have a very limited life, dying every 24 days or so to be replaced by shiny, new ones. So if you don’t’ keep your protein levels topped up, your body is going to struggle to repair worn out cells and a body deprived of protein will have an impact on your face in the form of a lack lustre complexion, puffy, baggy eyes and premature wrinkles. Collagen – famous for pumping many a celebrity lip – is the most abundant protein in our bodies and isn’t only available in injection form. You can lift your face naturally by following a protein rich diet full of organic meat or meat-free alternatives like tofu as well as dairy, eggs, pulses, nuts, seeds and legumes.
