We’ve previously touted the benefits of the 360-degree beauty trend which preaches that your skin is what you eat – because we all know that eating a wide variety of leafy greens and fruits is what makes our insides healthy.
Recently, veggies that can be found in our everyday salad – like broccoli that’s full of vitamin C and fibre – are being widely incorporated into beauty products. That’s good news for those of us who aren’t fans of clocking our daily recommended servings of vegetables (it’s recommended that we eat two cups a day, FYI). Click through to check out the beauty products that are the equivalent of salad bowls for your skin, and hair, too.
The main ingredient of this product, turmeric, protects the skin from environmental stresses while preventing and hydrating dry skin. The antioxidant also reduces redness and irritation so that you’re left with a much more radiant and youthful-looking complexion.
Rich in antioxidants and calming properties, golden turmeric extracts in this fast-absorbing face oil improves skin tone and complexion. Whereas vitamin C, red raspberry and evening primrose seed oils exist to give you coveted glowy skin.

Leave it on for five minutes and it’ll work as a mask that smoothens out uneven texture and minimises large pores.
You won’t be able to relate to dry, flakey or sensitive skin once this 100% natural strawberry oil works its magic. If you didn’t already know, natural oil is great at softening the skin and improving skin texture. This one protects against environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays too.
Made to look like a healthy green-juice, this smoothie-textured conditioner is just like a bottle of wholesome smoothie that quenches your parched and dull hair.

Packed with potent natural antioxidants like tomato extract, seaberry oil, rocou oil and camellia seed oil, this formula aims to nourish and maintain the skin’s moisture. Mix this in with your regular face or eye cream for an enhanced boost of hydration.

Does this mask from Kora Organics brighten or exfoliate? Well, it does both. Turmeric evens out dull skin tone while papaya enzymes encourage healthy cell renewal.
