Eating healthy is the key to looking good?
A survey commissioned by juice expert Tropicana has found that 70 per cent of Brits opt for a natural approach to their daily beauty routine adhering to the mantra, ‘beauty comes from the inside out’.
Of the 2000 people surveyed, 70 per cent believe that what they eat and drink has a direct impact on the condition of their skin, hair, nails and overall ‘beauty’. More than a third claim they now spend just 15 minutes or less on their morning beauty routine.
While 25 per cent of those taking part in the Tropicana survey would be prepared to spend £30 or more on a ‘miracle’ cream over 40 per cent don’t actually believe these beauty products are good value for money. When asked if they would rather forgo their beauty-boosting diet or their topical beauty treatments if money was tight, the majority chose to ditch their beauty treatments and continue with a nutrient-rich diet to maintain their looks.
When asked to list their most effective beauty tip, image conscious respondents largely stuck to natural remedies, with drinking two litres of water every day coming top.
The top 5 daily beauty tips, as chosen by those polled, were:
- Drinking 2 litres of water every day to benefit your skin
- Steaming your face once a week to open pores
- Drinking a glass of orange juice each day to get nutrients that benefit skin
- Putting cucumber slices on your eyes to reduce puffiness
- Moisturising feet then covering with socks overnight to reduce dry skin
Tropicana Marketing Manager, Sioned Winfield, said;
‘It’s great news that people are embracing a healthy diet, including lots of fruit, vegetables and their juices, as part of their overall plan to look good. There is emerging evidence that specific vitamins and minerals and other beneficial compounds like antioxidants, as part of a healthy diet, can play an important part in maintaining healthy skin and bright eyes which could be why it is a focus for beautiful Brits.’
