2019 Minnesota State Fair Food for Healthy Skin

Belladerm • July 31, 2019

Fair foods aren’t generally known for being healthy, but you can make smart choices this year when you’re swimming through the masses looking for something to eat. According to WebMD , certain foods can diminish signs of aging, protect the skin against sun damage, and minimize inflammation. We’ve taken a look at the new 2019 Minnesota State Fair food and pulled out a few recommendations for grub rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that may promote healthy, youthful skin.

Seafood

Shrimp and crab are a great source of selenium. According to the National Institutes of Health , selenium protects the body against cell and tissue damage from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants caused by diet, lifestyle, or environmental factors. Try Funky Grits’ Shrimp & Grits Fritters at the fair to incorporate this essential mineral in your diet for the day.

Freshwater Fish

Tuna and salmon contain CoQ10, a nutrient that helps generate energy in the cells and softens wrinkles and other signs of aging. This compound also protects the body from oxidative damage from UV rays. You can get smoked salmon on a stick or in a wrap from Giggles Campfire Grill.

Veggies

Carrots, peppers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kale contain vitamin A and vitamin C that clear brown spots and acne and regulate the production of collagen and elastin. Look for foods that incorporate these vegetables, like Shanghaied Henri’s Carolina Pit-Smoked Brisket Taco, topped with kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and carrots. iPierogi will also be serving Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, filled with seasoned ground pork and rice.

Nuts

Nuts contain vitamin E that moisturizes and heals the skin. Check out Brim’s gluten- and dairy-free Grilled Sota Sandwich complete with cinnamon nut butter and blueberry marmalade. Nut butter contains polyunsaturated fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals—all healthy nutrients your body deserves.

In addition, look for vendors selling foods with:

  • Citrus fruits, known for promoting a radiant and glowing complexion.
  • Berries and sweet potatoes, rich in antioxidants that help minimize wrinkles and dry skin.
  • Green tea, which stops inflammation, slows DNA damage, and can even out skin tone.
  • Walnuts rich in omega-3s and omega-6s, fatty acids that keep the skin smooth and young-looking. 

Water

Above all, stay hydrated. Your skin contains 64 percent water. Our bodies lose water constantly, particularly on hot days. Drinking adequate water will help your body’s digestive system, improve circulation, prevent wrinkles, and rid your skin of toxins.

As the seasons change, so does our skin’s needs. Fall and winter can bring challenges like dry air, cold winds, and the temptation to skip regular skincare routines. Skincare maintenance during the fall & winter is actually the perfect time to focus on restoring your skin’s natural glow, keeping it hydrated, and treating it to some extra TLC. Let’s dive into how to adjust your skincare routine for the fall and winter season—and why now is the ideal time for some rejuvenating treatments. Skincare Adjustments for Fall & Winter The transition from warm summer months to cooler fall and winter temperatures can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and irritated. The air becomes drier, and indoor heating can strip away essential moisture. Here’s how to adjust your routine for these seasonal changes: Switch to a Hydrating Moisturizer: Look for a thicker, richer moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Add Hydrating Serums: Serums like those with vitamin C or peptides can help your skin retain moisture and combat any winter dullness. Don’t Forget About Your Lips: With the colder air, chapped lips are a common issue. Revision’s Youthful Lip Replenisher will do wonders. Facial Treatments to Boost Winter Skin Health Cold weather doesn’t mean your skincare should take a break—now is the perfect time to treat yourself to a HydraFacial or Microneedling. These services help restore skin hydration, promote healing, and treat any skin concerns before they become major issues. HydraFacial: A HydraFacial is a great option for a deep cleanse and hydration boost. This treatment uses patented vortex technology to remove dead skin cells while infusing hydrating serums back into your skin. It’s perfect for combating dry skin and leaving you with a fresh, glowing complexion. Microneedling: Need a treatment that tackles both fine lines and overall skin texture? Microneedling helps promote collagen production and improves skin’s overall look and feel. It’s a fantastic treatment to prepare your skin for the harsh winter elements. Sun Protection: Yes, Even in Fall & Winter! It might be tempting to put your sunscreen away with your summer wardrobe, but the sun’s rays are still strong during the fall and winter months. It’s important to continue applying sunscreen daily—even when it’s cloudy or you’re spending more time indoors. UV rays can penetrate through windows and cause skin damage, so keep your skin protected with a broad-spectrum SPF . Ready to Fall in Love with Your Skin Again? Your skin deserves some extra care this fall and winter. At Belladerm MedSpa, we’re here to help you feel confident and glowing no matter the season. Book your consultation today and start your seasonal skincare routine with our professional treatments and skincare products. We’re here to guide you every step of the way!

Fall Skin Renewal with Microneedling and PRP is the perfect way to trade in that summer glow (and sun damage) for a fresh, radiant complexion. After months of UV exposure, sweat, and environmental stress, your skin deserves a reset—and Microneedling with PRP is the ultimate treatment to kickstart your fall skin renewal. This collagen-boosting treatment combines the power of microneedling with your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing, improve texture, and leave your skin visibly smoother and firmer. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, sun damage, or uneven tone, fall is the perfect time to invest in your skin and reveal a more youthful, refreshed look. What is Microneedling with PRP? Microneedling with PRP is a next-level skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health. During the treatment, a specialized device creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for maintaining a firm, youthful complexion. What makes this treatment even more powerful is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) . Derived from your own blood, PRP is packed with growth factors that accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance results. By infusing PRP into the skin after microneedling, we supercharge the regeneration process, leading to faster recovery, deeper hydration, and a more radiant glow compared to microneedling alone. Why Fall is the Best Time for Microneedling with PRP? Fall is the perfect time to invest in microneedling with PRP, giving your skin the reset it needs after months of summer sun. With less UV exposure, your skin can heal more effectively without the added risk of sun damage, making it an ideal season for treatments that promote regeneration. This time of year is also key for reversing the effects of summer—think sunspots, uneven texture, and dehydration caused by heat and environmental stress. Plus, starting your treatments in the fall means you’ll be glowing just in time for the holiday season, ensuring your skin looks its best for upcoming gatherings and events! What Microneedling with PRP Can Do for Your Skin Microneedling with PRP is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns. It’s particularly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and helping to fade acne scars. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation or sun damage from the summer, this treatment can also work wonders in evening out your skin tone and brightening your complexion. Microneedling also helps to minimize enlarged pores and promotes overall skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production. This treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin, and we apply PRP to accelerate healing and enhance results. While there may be some mild redness immediately afterward, downtime is minimal, and you can expect gradual improvement in your skin’s texture and appearance over several weeks. With a series of treatments, you’ll see optimal results, leaving you with smooth, youthful, and glowing skin. Ready to Refresh Your Skin? If you’re ready to refresh your skin and bring back that glow, microneedling with PRP is the perfect solution to address post-summer skin concerns. At Belladerm MedSpa, our experienced professionals are here to guide you through the process and ensure you get the best results. Whether you’re looking to reverse sun damage, smooth fine lines, or boost collagen production, this treatment is tailored to meet your skin’s needs. Don’t wait for the holidays to enjoy healthy, glowing skin — schedule your consultation today and take the first step towards a radiant complexion! Let us help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin this season.

When it comes to achieving a youthful appearance, many people turn to injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. While these treatments are excellent for smoothing wrinkles and restoring lost volume, they’re just part of the puzzle. Beyond Botox and filler, the ultimate formula for a youthful glow lies in combining injectables with professional skincare and aesthetic treatments. Healthy, radiant skin provides the foundation for truly transformative results, ensuring your wrinkle-free look is as vibrant and natural as possible. Why Healthy Skin Complements Injectables While injectables smooth lines and restore volume, they can’t improve the overall condition of your skin. Your skin’s texture, tone, and hydration are essential for that refreshed, youthful look. Consider these key points: Texture and tone matter: Wrinkle-free skin can still look dull or uneven if it isn’t being cared for properly. Hydration is key: Dermal fillers work best when paired with hydrated, healthy skin. Longevity of results: Professional skincare and treatments enhance and maintain your injectable results over time. When your skin is glowing and healthy, your injectables look more natural, and the results are elevated. The Perfect Pair: Injectables + Aesthetic Treatments At Belladerm MedSpa, we recommend combining treatments for the ultimate results. Here’s why: Injectables like Botox and Fillers are perfect for smoothing lines and restoring youthful contours. Aesthetic treatments, such as HydraFacial , deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, leaving it plump and radiant. Professional skincare products provide daily maintenance, protecting your investment and addressing concerns like uneven tone and fine lines. By combining these treatments, you’re treating both the structure of your face and the surface of your skin for a comprehensive, youthful glow.
