GET GLOWING

Topical tonics can work wonders on your face and hair, but locking in bright skin and glossy tresses starts with your diet. “The body-food connection is linked: A nutrient-dense diet can improve, protect, repair and stimulate our overall beauty by moisturizi­ng the body from the inside out,” says Joy Mccarthy, a certified holistic nutritioni­st and author of Joyous Health. If your meals contain lots of processed foods, you’re missing out on key vitamins and antioxidan­ts that can positively impact your appearance. Instead, eat inflammati­on-fighting ingredient­s rich in omega-3s, such as salmon, walnuts, chia seeds and avocados—they’re packed with good fats that protect and naturally moisturize skin and hair. Along with vitamins A,B, C and K and iron, they also boost collagen, which adds strength and radiance.
