Here are some Superfoods ingredients to look out for next time you are buying your skincare and beauty products:

The polyphenols in green tea can protect again free radicals and stimulate cell turnover.
Kale
Rich in cell-boosting antioxidants, kale, and in particular sea kale, also promotes collagen production.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil can be used as an eye make-up remover (it’s gentle enough and nourishes at the same time), as a lip balm, mixed with sea salt or ground coffee as a body scrub and perhaps most notably, as a moisturiser. Coconut oil is antibacterial (great for those suffering from skin conditions) and extremely hydrating as it builds a protective layer between the skin and the outside elements and seals in moisture. Coconut oil also softens and smoothens and provides a dewy just-woke-up-like-this glow. Coconut Oil is a must Superfood Skincare product for any Spa it Girl.
Chia seeds
The oil derived from chia seeds is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, a known minimiser of stress and ageing signs. Chia is also effective at hydrating the uppermost layer of the epidermis, leaving skin glowing and radiant.
Goji berries
High in antioxidants, goji berries can reduce the effects of free radicals, which cause damage to healthy skin cells. In addition, goji berries renew and brighten the skin.
Acai
Acai is a powerful hydrator and high in protein, which helps repair and rebuild the skin.
