Achieve Inner Glow: Eating & Applying Your Retinol Makes Your Skin Glow

When it comes to achieving glow, youthful skin, the phrase you are what you eat holds a lot of truth. While topical skin care like Simree Cosmetics’ Day Energizing Face Oil Serum works wonders controlling the sebum and making skin glow on the surface, incorporating natural sources of retinol into your diet ensures that your skin glows from within. Here’s how you can harness the power of natural retinol—inside and out.

What's Retinol and Why is it your skin's bestie?

A derivative of Vitamin A, Retinol is a nutrient crucial for maintaining healthy skin, vision, and immune function. It promotes cell turnover, reduces fine lines, and boosts collagen production. While synthetic retinol in skincare can sometimes irritate the skin, natural sources, both topical and dietary, are gentler and safer.

How does our serum have Natural Retinol? Does Natural Retinol Work?

Simree’s serum contains ingredients like ‘rosehip oil’, a natural source of Vitamin A derivatives. This ingredient provides the benefits of retinol without the harsh side effects, such as peeling, redness and irritation. It’s perfect for sensitive skin and helps improve skin texture. enhance skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also protects against environmental damage and is full of antioxidants.

How do we eat our retinol?

Vitamin A basically exists in two forms

1. Preformed Vitamin A (Retinol): Found in animal-based products.
2. Pro-vitamin A (Beta-Carotene): Found in plant-based foods and converted into retinol by the bodily enzymes.

For vegans and vegetarians, the focus is on beta-carotene-rich foods. Here are some of the best sources:

1. Sweet Potatoes: A single sweet potato can provide over 100% of your daily Vitamin A needs. Carrots: High in beta-carotene, carrots are an easy snack or addition to meals.
2. Spinach and Kale: Leafy greens are packed with Vitamin A and other essential nutrients.
3. Red and Yellow Bell Peppers: Vibrant and nutrient-dense, these are great for salads and stir- fries.
4. Pumpkin: Rich in beta-carotene and perfect for soups, pies, or smoothies.
5. Mangoes and Papayas: Sweet fruits that boost your Vitamin A levels while satisfying your taste buds.

How can we facilitate Vitamin A absorption?

To maximize the benefits of beta-carotene, pair your foods with healthy fats. Vitamin A is fat-soluble, meaning it needs fats to be absorbed effectively. For example: -

• Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to your salads.
• Pair roasted sweet potatoes with avocado dip.
• Snack on veggies like carrots with a nut butter dip.
