Starting Today Clarisea's Daily Skin Tips

Here at Clarisea, we have amassed a collection of diverse skincare knowledge to share with you in the form of daily skin care tips on everything from the best skin foods to the best moisturizer for oily skin and the best ways to use the Clarifying Salt Treatment. Let's start with the food. It's always a favorite!

According to the Mayo Clinic, research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin. I agree with the vitamin C, but the rest is kind of vague. Here's a more specific list of some foods you can start eating today to see an improvement in your skin tomorrow. Just like anything else in life, the more disciplined you are with your food choices every day, the happier you will be with your skin.

Pinto beans and garlic have excellent anti-inflammatory properties. If you have patches of redness on your face try the beans and look into a garlic supplement rather than adding it organically to your diet every day. That may be difficult and smelly! There are odor free supplements.

If your goal is to get rid of a little under eye saggy-ness and generally tighten things up, try eating salmon a couple times a week along with an avocado, fresh veggies and rice. Salmon is also anti-inflammatory and has that coveted "lifting" effect. Also, get rid of heavy bread and bagel carbs (as often as possible) and drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of water a day and your eyes will look renewed!

Extra tips:

1) Get rid of that salt shaker. Excess salt makes everything, including your eyes, puffy and after repeated puffy-ness your skin will start to repeatedly sag. Don't give it the chance-decrease your salt intake now.

2) Snack on these natural and tasty treats in between meals: oranges (water + vitamin C), carrots (Vitamin A), low salt cashews, bananas and berries (anti-oxidants).
