Beautiful skin in summer... before all the magic creams, first look at your plate

In summer, our skin is put to the test: sun, heat, salt, chlorine, wind...
The result? It can become drier, more reactive, and lose its shine.

Fortunately, there is a powerful, delicious, and simple weapon to help keep it looking beautiful and radiant: what you put on your plate !
Long before cosmetic tricks, diet makes all the difference.

Yes, some foods are real beauty treatments from the inside out . Moisturizing, antioxidant, regenerating, and even protective, they can help skin stay supple, luminous, and well-equipped to face the summer.

First, as always: focus on hydration

We know that drinking water is essential, we mean water ...
But hydration also comes from what we eat. And in summer, fruits and vegetables are full of water: watermelon, melon, cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, and peaches are perfect for gently hydrating the skin.

Top tip : consider homemade infused waters (mint-lemon, strawberry-basil, etc.) or cold soups like gazpacho. They're both thirst-quenching and rich in antioxidants!

Natural reinforcements and shields against UV rays

The sun's rays accelerate skin aging, and certain foods will help you fight this.

You probably already know: beta-carotene (carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes) prepares the skin for the sun and promotes a lovely golden tan.
Red fruits, citrus fruits and kiwis boost vitamin C , which is essential for collagen production.
Not forgetting vitamin E (vegetable oils, almonds) and zinc (seafood, eggs), which strengthen the skin barrier.

Our little tip : start a “sun cure” on your plate a few days before your vacation to gently prepare your skin.

Proteins, natural repair and reinforcement

Often overlooked in light summer diets, proteins are nevertheless essential. They constitute the very structure of the skin.

For it to regenerate effectively against external aggressions, it needs its daily dose of protein: eggs, natural yogurts, tofu, legumes or white meats are to be favored.

Our little tip : always combine protein and colorful vegetables on the same plate for a winning duo.

And what about algae?

Seaweed is the surprise guest in your summer beauty routine.
Rich in minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and plant omega-3, they have remineralizing, hydrating and protective properties against aggressions (including UV rays!).

Some, like chlorella , are known to boost skin radiance and strengthen its natural defenses.

Our little tip : in salads (wakame, nori, dulse), these algae are real beauty superfoods.
A gentle way to “preserve and prepare” your skin for the sun, a bit like certain sun supplements.

What if we took our foot off the skin's enemies?

Alcohol dehydrates and dilates small vessels, refined sugar promotes inflammation and blemishes, and ultra-processed products, rich in salt and additives, dull the complexion.

Without necessarily banning them completely, it is better to consume them in moderation ... your skin will thank you!

In summary?

Glowing skin in summer isn't just about sunscreen: it's also about your fork !

A colorful diet rich in good fats, antioxidants and water is the key to maintaining comfort, radiance and elasticity throughout the season.
And don't forget seaweed : you can easily find it in most organic stores or online.
