The answer to good skin lies deep within our gut

Rather than slathering a mask on your face, the solution to getting dewy, healthy-looking skin lies in eating foods that can boost serotonin levels

Now, more than ever, consumers are starting to realize that looking good is also directly related to feeling good, and beauty products are evolving to include more natural, food-based ingredients aimed at nourishing the skin as an organ rather than covering it and changing it with harsh chemicals. It's only one small step further to start including these benefits directly into our food products.

And if you were to believe the The Deliveroo "The Snack to the Future" 2023 report that released in July, edible beauty products are destined for the future. The report predicts that by 2040, consumers may soon integrate their beauty practices with their food choices. They imagine you could eat a swath of foods designed to intersect the food and beauty industries, offering consumers nourishing foods dubbed "mind to skin" solutions. Just think: ice cream that decreases your stress can brighten your skin. When pitched like that, I'd be the first one in line. I'd love to eat my way to beautiful skin. Having clear skin is a source of confidence, and most people agree. According to Nutraceutical Business Review, over 67% of consumers worldwide feel that how their skin is presented directly reflects how they feel inside.
