3 reasons a green salad is your new best friend in your 30s.

Let’s get real for a second: taking care of your skin in your 30s feels like a full-time job.
The days of “just wash and go” are kinda over, and suddenly you start obsessing about everything from hydration to collagen.

But here’s a little secret that doesn’t get enough hype: sometimes, your skin just wants a damn good salad.

Not just any salad. I’m talking about my go-to: crisp lettuce, crunchy cucumber, salty olives, feta, creamy avocado, briny gherkins, and a perfectly hard-boiled egg. Basically, the dream team on a plate.

Here’s why it’s such a game-changer for your skin (and your sanity):

1. Hydration Boost

Lettuce and cucumber are mostly water, which means they help keep your skin plump and dewy from the inside out.
Hydrated skin = fewer fine lines and that coveted natural glow. Plus, when your skin’s happy, your whole face just looks fresher.

2. Packed with Antioxidants

Olives, feta, and avocado aren’t just delicious, they’re loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats.
These little powerhouses fight off free radicals that speed up aging, helping to keep your skin smooth and resilient.

3. Protein for Repair

That hard-boiled egg? It’s not just for breakfast. Protein is key to repairing skin cells and maintaining firmness, two things we definitely want more of in our 30s.

Eating salads like this regularly isn’t just good for your body, it’s a solid, delicious skin care move. Plus, it’s a reminder that self-care can be simple and tasty.

So next time you’re stressing about your skincare routine, maybe start with your plate first. Your skin (and your taste buds) will thank you.
