Skin health can be yours, if your diet is right

A dry, dull skin complexion is a sign that you are not eating right. When it comes to your health, the outside reflects the inside.

Top 10 foods for healthy, glowing skin

1. Avocados

Includes essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin. Avocados contain lots of niacin, which is an anti-inflammatory. This soothes irritated and red, blotchy areas.

2. Mangoes

Include vitamin A which maintains and repairs cells. A deficiency will result in a dry, flaky complexion.

3. Almonds

Include vitamin E which moisturizes. Its antioxidants protect against damage and premature aging.

4. Cottage cheese

Includes selenium which will protect you against cancer and fight dandruff.

5. Acerola cherries

Includes vitamin C which fights damage and wrinkles

6. Oysters

Includes zinc which helps boost elastin which is the skin’s elastic protein.

7. Baked potatoes

Includes copper, which is an essential mineral that works with vitamin C and zinc to produce the elastin fibers that support skin structure.

8. Mushrooms

Includes riboflavin, which helps improve blemishes caused by rosacea

9. Flaxseed oil

Includes omega-3 which hydrates and unclogs pores

10. Wheat germ

Includes biotin which keeps you from having itchy, scaly skin

So try these foods out and over a period of time, you too can have healthy and glowing skin!

Spa is not an option!

Mode Salon started out in 2003 primarily as a Hair Salon focused on delivering Premium Hair Care Services for all hair types. We still have a strong hair following and the “word on the street” is if you want to get your hair done the right way, go to Mode.  A few years ago we started offering extensive Spa Services such as Massage, Skin Care and Nails. This has opened up many new avenues and we now regularly have out of town visitors come to us just for Spa.

The common misconception is that Spa Services are really luxury services. We think of them as Wellness Services, particularly in these uncertain times. We all tend to neglect some aspect of ourselves which if done long enough can amount to real issues later on. Massages are therapeutic. Facials are rejuvenating and Pedicures promote good foot health.

So next time you are thinking, “I can’t afford or don’t have time for the Spa”, instead think ” I really CAN”T afford to do without taking care of myself”.

Health is not a luxury. Make a date to take care of yourself today.
