It can also be a massive help to those of us who suffer from pigmentation problems. We’ve selected four of the best food sources of Vitamin A, so why not try adding more of them into your diet and we guarantee they’ll make a big difference to your skin!

Sweet potatoes

When this food was labelled a ‘super food’ by nutrition experts across the globe, they weren’t lying or bending the truth. In fact, eating just one sweet potato a day will give you over 100% of your Vitamin A needs. This sweet, starchy root vegetable is also high in potassium and fibre. To ensure you get the highest Vitamin A content, opt for the orange-fleshed sweet potatoes over other types such as purple sweet potatoes.

All hail the kale

Kale has become rather famous in recent years, you can even buy hoodies and baseball caps declaring your love for this leafy green. And it’s not surprising why as this super green is full of Vitamin A, C, iron, and fibre! One cup of kale contains right over 80% of your daily Vitamin A needs. Kale smoothie, anyone? Most leafy greens are especially high in Vitamin A, as are orange veggies. You can usually bet that anything with a bright green, orange, or reddish hue is a great source of Vitamin A. Pass me the kale!

Swap ‘candy’ for carrots

Many refer to carrots as nature’s candy and they really are one of the best sources of Vitamin A there is. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is the form of Vitamin A found in food-based sources. Carrots also contain Vitamin C, magnesium, fibre, and make the perfect afternoon snack! Carrot stick anyone?

Spinach is packed to the brim with all things good

Spinach is such a nutritious green! There’s almost no vitamin and mineral it doesn’t contain, with Vitamin A being one of the most abundant of them all. Spinach contains over 100% of your daily Vitamin A in just one cup. To obtain the most Vitamin A, it’s best to consume spinach raw instead of cooked, and buy organic where possible.

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
