Diet for the skin: what you need to know?
Food is stronger than any cosmetics. It depends on her how healthy and beautiful the skin will look. This is what the experts say, and you can’t argue with them. WDay.ru has collected tips from the most famous star nutritionists.
David Colbert: Say No to Junk Food
Dr. David Colbert has had an exceptionally stellar clientele for many years. Singer Mariah Carey, one of the most beautiful actresses Rachel Weisz, as well as many models listen to his advice. And whatever you say, each of them has perfect skin. “I’m not against Botox,” says Colbert, “but eating the right food is much more affordable and effective.” The doctor guarantees that it is worth stopping eating bad food like cereals, pizza and burgers, as after 4-9 days the body will be cleansed and sugar levels normalized. If you include lean meats, vegetables and spices, which are so rich in antioxidants, your skin will simply shine cleanly. In addition, the body weight will also change, naturally downward.
Howard Murad: “Lean on the fruit!”
One of the best nutritionists in Hollywood, Howard Murad. He owns the most famous and visited medical SPA Murad Medical, where Hillary Duff, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eva Longoria and Vanessa Carlton often visit. Murad always says to his celebrity clients that cellular hydration is essential for healthy skin. And for this, it recommends consuming more vegetables and fruits. Ordinary and even medicinal water, according to a nutritionist, will not cope with this task.
Oz Garcia: “I won’t get tired of repeating the benefits of salmon”
Another star nutritionist, Oz Garcia, personally oversees the cuisine of Madonna, Richard Gere and Gwyneth Paltrow. His mantra is about salmon. “Eat a piece of salmon every day and you will never need the services of a plastic surgeon,” he says. And he adds that for greater efficiency, you need to give up sugar. According to the nutritionist, sugar accelerates the aging process and leads to premature wrinkles.
Diet for 14 days by Oz Garcia
A 14-day diet will help you shed 2-3 extra pounds and improve the condition of your skin and hair. Before you start, remember the main rule: keep your salt and sugar intake to a minimum and drink at least one and a half liters of water a day.
Morning: Drink 250 ml of warm water on an empty stomach. For breakfast, make an omelet of 2-3 eggs with vegetables and a little olive oil. For dessert – fruit.
Lunch: in an hour, make yourself a second breakfast of fruits.
Lunch: drink 10 ml of warm water in 20-100 minutes. During lunch, give preference to boiled or stewed fish with a large portion of green salad seasoned with a spoonful of olive oil. As a drink – one squeezed lemon per 250 ml of water.
Dinner: also drink a glass of water before meals. For the main course, cook chicken (in any form), 150 g of asparagus, drizzled with olive oil.
Before bedtime: fruit cocktail.
Nicholas Perricone: “Products should energize”
Nicholas Perricone, favorite nutritionist Kim Cattrall, Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith and his wife. He developed a special diet, which included only “superfoods”, the main selection criterion for which was the so-called glycemic index (it reflects the rate at which a particular product is broken down in the body and converted into glucose – the main source of energy). Organic salmon became the main dish. And also barley, garlic, onions, buckwheat, Brussels sprouts and yogurt. The nutritionist has developed a system called the face lift diet – a diet for skin lifting. Supermodel Linda Evangelista is hooked on the “three-day facelift” express course, which helps to make the skin perfectly elastic and smooth in the shortest possible time.
Fatty fish, primarily all salmon (rainbow trout, whitefish, omul) and sturgeon (sturgeon, beluga), as well as herring, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which smooth the skin, maintaining water balance, and B vitamins improve circulation blood and facilitate the absorption of oxygen by the cells of the skin, hair and nails.
The doctor recommends grilling or baking salmon – this is the best way to cook fish and retain all its vitamins. You can steam fish and even eat a canned jar instead of fresh fish, the main thing is not to fry it.

Morning: just wake up, drink a glass of plain water.
Breakfast: cook 150g salmon; half a serving of oatmeal in skim milk with a piece of melon and a handful of berries and another glass of water (or mineral water).
