What you eat can have a big effect on your skin. Many nutrients and foods can and do nourish the skin from the inside out. I’m excited to share with you some of my favorite skin-nourishing and cleansing recipes.
Chia, Honey, and Blueberry Facial Mask
Soothe inflammation with this homemade facial mask full of antioxidants and natural humectants.
Sweet Quinoa
Enjoy this sweet and healthy treat as a snack or for breakfast. In summer I sometimes skip the apple and toss in fresh berries after cooking.
Coco Mocktail Fizz
Missing those cocktails but want to stay on track? Here's a light yummy alternative you can enjoy mojito-style with mint. You can even add fresh berries or lime slices for a festive look. Don't be afraid to take this to parties, but bring extra because your friends will want some too!
Chamomile Oat Cleanser
Great for Heath and Emmett skin types (see theskinquiz.com) because of its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits, even for sensitive skin.
Baked Golden Chicken Recipe
Every time I visit home, my family makes the most amazing chicken dinners, and I've worked hard to come up with a recipe to match theirs! This version of my family's favorite is savory and sweet.

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Organic Pumpkin Pie
It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the pumpkin pie. So, drop the guilt, and enjoy a yummy slice of this healthier lower-sugar option. Add a dollop of Coconut Whipped Cream to top it off!
Coconut-Red Lentil Soup
This is a favorite among my vegan friends, and even meat-eaters will love the flavorful creamy soup. Enjoy leftover chutney with other meals.
Organic Honey and Tea Tree Cleanser
The antimicrobial and sebum-balancing effects of the honey and tea tree essential oil in this cleanser are great for Olivia Skin Personality Types. (Discover your skin personality type at theskinquiz.com.)
Chia Pudding
This bowl is raw, simple, and delicious. When chia seeds sit in liquid for 10 minutes, they absorb the fluid and transform into a tapioca-like consistency. If you don't care for tapioca's texture, blend the chia seeds with the other ingredients for a smoother consistency.
Oven Roasted Salmon with Beluga Lentils and Salsa Verde
This is one of my favorite recipes! The combination of savory salmon, black lentils, and tangy salsa is sure to satisfy your palate – and you can relax, knowing every ingredient is nourishing your skin from within.
