GLOW FROM WITHIN: SUMMER FOODS THAT WORK LIKE SKINCARE

Summer means pool parties, margaritas, and plenty of sunshine! While sunscreen is essential, it only goes so far. What if we told you that you could eat your skincare for that ultimate summertime glow? Topical care is vital, but nourishing your skin from within takes things to a whole new level.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and just like the rest of you, it craves the right nutrients. The foods you eat can either supercharge your glow or leave your skin dull and dehydrated. By choosing ingredients that work in harmony with your skincare routine, you can create a powerful inside-out approach to beauty.

Let’s break it down and show you how to snack your way to radiance this summer.

Snack Your Way to Glowing Skin

Here’s how eating right can elevate your skincare routine this summer:

THE SUNSCREEN

Eat Up: Beta-carotene and lycopene are nature’s sunblock.

What to Eat:

• Carrots, Mangoes, and Sweet Potatoes: These orange-hued, beta-carotene-rich foods protect your skin from sun damage and help repair UV-induced harm.
• Tomatoes and Watermelon: Loaded with lycopene—the red pigment that acts like a natural umbrella for your skin against harsh sun rays.

TIP: Cooked tomatoes pack more lycopene than raw ones!

A Bit of Mea Bloom: While you snack on your internal sunscreen, don’t forget to apply our Barrier Protect Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ for full-circle care.

THE SKIN SERUM

Eat Up: Antioxidants, vitamin C, and polyphenols act like your internal skin serum.

What to Eat:

• Berries (Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries): These antioxidant powerhouses help de-stress and detoxify your skin from within.
• Citrus Fruits (Oranges, Lemons, Grapefruits): Vitamin C bombs that boost collagen and keep skin youthful.
• Pomegranate: Packed with polyphenols that reduce inflammation deep within skin layers.

TIP: Frozen grapes = the ultimate summer sorbet!

A Bit of Mea Bloom: Pair it with our Balance Restoring Serum PM for that perfect night-time topical boost.

HYDRATION HEROES

Eat Up: Yes—you can eat your water too!

What to Eat:

• Cucumber: Made of 96% water. Add it generously to your summer salads.
• Coconut Water: Nature’s best electrolyte to replace minerals lost through sweat.
• Zucchini & Celery: Hydrating and snack-friendly with zero guilt.

TIP: Add chia seeds to your water—they keep you hydrated longer.

A Bit of Mea Bloom: Freshen up your skin with our 2-in-1 Hydrating Toner & Face Mist for that all-day glow.

MOISTURIZER

Eat Up: Omega-3 fatty acids for dewy, supple skin.

What to Eat:

• Fish, Salmon, Chia Seeds, Walnuts: Rich in omega-3s and great for hydration and skin elasticity.
• Avocados: Nature’s edible moisturizer. Add them to your toast, salads, or just enjoy as is!

TIP: Try a summer breakfast bowl with chia seeds, yogurt, and a drizzle of honey.

A Bit of Mea Bloom: Pamper your skin with our Replinishing Moisturizer as you nourish from the inside out.

DEEP CLEANSING

Eat Up: Think fermented foods for internal cleansing.

What to Eat:

• Kimchi, Yogurt, Kefir: These probiotic-rich foods promote gut health and reduce breakouts and bloating.
• Garlic & Bananas: Prebiotics that feed the good bacteria in your gut, helping deep-clean your skin from within.

TIP: Pair baby carrots with a probiotic-rich ranch for a glow-friendly snack.

A Bit of Mea Bloom: Use our Calming Cleanser to gently clear and soothe your skin’s surface.

THE NIGHT CREAM

Eat Up: Vitamin E and zinc for overnight skin revival.
