This time of year, you can find food in an array of Autumn inspired colors, and each is packed with incredible nutrients for your skin!

Blue/Purple

Blue and purple foods like blueberries, blackberries, prunes, raisins, eggplant, and purple potatoes are high in flavonoids. Flavonoids strengthen blood vessels and stabilize elastin and collagen fibers keeping skin firm and supple.

Red

Lycopene is what gives red foods like apples, cranberries, pomegranates, and tomatoes their color. This pigment protects the skin from sunburn and sun-induced aging of the skin.

Orange/Yellow

Pumpkins, winter squashes, carrots, and bell peppers. These delicious foods are perfect for any recipe and rich in carotenoids. Most carotenoids turn into Vitamin A for the body, which is a powerful antioxidant.

Brown

Mushrooms are high in Vitamin B. Skincare products used for lightening dark spots contain kojic acid, which is found primarily in shitake and oyster mushrooms. Beans and legumes are chock full of fiber, iron, and magnesium.
