Add some yoghurt

Yoghurt is easily the best food for glowing skin. Most of the skin ailments that we have are caused by having an unhealthy stomach, bowels, and gut. Yoghurt, however, is known to contain probiotics that aid the process of digestion, thereby ensuring that problems such as breakouts and skin dryness do not bother your radiant, flawless complexion. Consume as much yoghurt as you like, after every meal and with smoothies and fruit salads. As the Turks would say, yoghurt is the cure for absolutely everything!

Fruits for skin

Where the grass is greener: green veggies

Nothing says good skin like a bowl of fresh, leafy green vegetables. Whether it is spinach, coriander, parsley, or broccoli, these viridescent leaves are full of antioxidants, essential nutrients and vitamins which all help your skin retain its brightness and youthfulness.

There are so many things you can do with these garden-fresh ingredients, as they’re a great food for clear and glowing skin and hair. You could make soups, salads, or sandwiches, and if you’re more of a fan of traditional Indian cuisine, good old Sarson ka Saag or Palak Paneer are beneficial for your skin, and arguably much more delicious. The road to glowing skin might not tantalise your taste buds, but as they say, it is vital that you ‘eat your greens.’

Turmeric for skin

The freshness of fruits

From the citrus fruits, like oranges, limes and grapefruits, to the penny-plain papayas and tropical avocados, fruits are indispensable for achieving unblemished skin. There are a host of different fruits out there with a multitude of different benefits for your skin.

Mangoes help your skin to retain and improve its elasticity, whilst eating bananas can help prevent the premature occurrence of wrinkles. Not only does the vitamin-C present in citrus fruits help in collagen synthesis, but it also protects your skin and even repairs any damage that might be caused by the unforgiving sun.

Papayas, alternatively, are excellent cleansing agents, which help your skin to shed old dead cells. The modern-day super fruit, the avocado, is rich in healthy fats and vitamin-E. It can help remedy a number of issues such as skin damage, acne, premature wrinkles, moisture retention and dreary-looking skin. Cherries, berries, apples and kiwis; if it’s a clear complexion you’re looking for, you’ve got to make a habit of eating them all!

The wonders of turmeric

This kitchen star has earned its place in the skincare domain and is a healthy food for glowing skin. As you surely know, there are innumerable recipes that make use of this star yellow powder. Famous for its antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric can be added to everything from soups to smoothies. The curcumin present in turmeric helps fight any bacterial infection both inside and outside your body, regardless of whether turmeric is ingested or applied externally. In your quest to attain the perfect glowing complexion, it certainly makes sense to buddy-up with some freshly peeled, raw turmeric.

Green Tea for skin

FAQs on foods for glowing skin

Hello aloe

You’ll find aloe vera in just about every home. This succulent plant is known to remedy almost every skin problem out there, especially in the case of skin inflammation. Packed full of anti-inflammatory hormones, aloe vera can provide your skin with relief from several ailments.

You can harness the power of aloe vera by applying its gel externally to the skin or consuming its juice (do not consume the gel directly). Both methods are effective in tackling UV damage and acne problems. And to really make the most of it, make yourself a cooling aloe drink and pave the path towards radiant skin whilst beating the heat.

Water for skin

Spill the (green) tea

The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a detox is probably green tea. This food (especially of the Matcha kind) is full of natural antioxidants and rich in a phytonutrient known as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This nutrient makes green tea efficient in protecting your skin from the harmful free radicals responsible for dark spots, premature ageing and even zits.

Green tea also helps lower levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for your acne issues, meaning it’s extremely efficient in keeping your skin blemish-free. Pour yourself a soothing glass now!

Spinach for skin

Just add water

When more than three-fifths of your body is made up of just one ingredient, there is no way that you could ignore its consumption in pursuit of your skin’s health. Regardless of your skin type, it needs water to remain fresh, supple and glowing. The water retention capacity of your skin decreases with age, meaning it’s even more essential that you consume adequate amounts of water daily.

Not only does water flush out all of the toxins from your skin, but it also provides your skin with that natural glow whilst even keeping wrinkles away. It is highly recommended that you always keep a bottle of water with you, sipping on it at regular intervals. If plain old water isn’t good enough for your palate, you can always add cucumbers, mint and a hint of lemon to make yourself a pitcher of flavourful detox water.

Pomegranate for skin

FAQs on foods for glowing skin

Give spinach a spin

It’s completely understandable if this veg isn't your favourite, but once you know the anti-ageing benefits of this popular green leafy vegetable, you may feel more tempted. Spinach is a great source of plant compounds lutein and zeaxanthin. These two nutrients are vital for strengthening your skin's natural defense against environmental aggressors such as UV rays, pollution and climate change. These factors majorly expedite the process of ageing, and eating spinach helps to mitigate their effects, giving your skin a healthy and youthful appearance.

Cucumber for skin

Pomegranate power

Did you know that eating pomegranate is a great way of keeping your skin looking young and radiant? This tropical fruit is a rich source of antioxidants that prevent skin damage caused by free radicals in the environment. It is also one of the best sources of natural vitamin C, which helps produce collagen, keeping your skin healthy and clear for a longer period of time.

FAQs on foods for glowing skin

Cucumber makes the cut

One of the best ways to achieve healthy, clear, and youthful skin is cucumber! This is because cucumbers contain silica, which is a type of collagen that helps fight the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, cucumbers also provide a boost of vitamin K and C, both of which brighten tired, irritated, and puffy looking skin. The fruit (yes, fruit!) also contains vitamin A, known as retinol, which makes cucumber one of the best foods for fighting all signs of ageing.

We collect personal data from other sources including our trusted partnerships with third-parties and where we operate Unilever accounts on third-party platforms: For example, when you use the “like” functionality on Facebook or the +1 functionality on Google+. Additionally, we receive information about you and other visitors’ interactions with our advertising to measure whether our advertising is relevant and successful. We also collect information about you and your activities from a third-party when we jointly offer services or products, or from third-party data enrichment providers (to find out more see our privacy key terms) who may deliver insights to Unilever about the personal data we hold.

When and why we collect “special categories of personal data”

Certain categories of personal data, such as health data, financial data, biometrics, race, ethnicity, religion, health, sexuality or biometric data are classified as “special categories of data” or “Sensitive Personal Information” and benefit from additional protection.

We limit the circumstances where we collect and process these special categories of data.

Unilever sometimes collects data related to your health such as allergies, pregnancy or skin type to send you tailored ads and relevant promotions. Unilever only collects and uses this personal data where you have provided us with your consent for us to do so. In some instances, you may have requested services or products that do not directly involve the collection of any special categories of data, but may imply or suggest your religion, health or other special categories of data.

To illustrate circumstances where Unilever collects and processes special categories of data we have provided the following examples:

Unilever collects expectant mothers’ due dates in its Zwitsal or Baby Dove newsletter sign-up page. It may also place cookies on the sign-up page which capture this information too. This data is then used to create an audience of expectant mothers to receive online advertising from relevant Unilever brands. For more information on Unilever’s profiling activities, please refer to the relevant section;

Similarly, Unilever collects personal data related to consumers’ allergies to provide consumers with ads and promotions for products which are relevant to their needs.

How do we protect children’s privacy?

We understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children using Unilever products and services.

Most of Unilever’s websites are designed and intended for use by adults. Where one of our websites is intended for use by a younger audience, we will obtain consent from the person with parental responsibility before we collect personal data where it is required by applicable laws and regulations (the age at which consent is necessary varies from Country to Country).

If you are a child under the age where parental consent is required in your Country, you should review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that personal data as soon as practical. Access to certain parts of the Unilever’s websites and/or eligibility to receive prizes, samples or other rewards are generally limited to users over a certain age.

We sometimes use your personal data to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.

We collect, process and disclose your personal data only for specific and limited purposes. For example, to process your payments, to assess and handle any complaints, to develop and improve our products, services, communication methods and the functionality of our websites, to provide personalised products, communications and targeted advertising as well as product recommendations to you.

We also create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments.

Additionally, Unilever processes your personal data also using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data.

We collect, process and disclose your personal data for the following purposes:

To process your payments, if you purchase our products, to provide you with your order status, deal with your enquiries and requests, and assess and handle any complaints;
To process and answer your inquiries or to contact you to answer your questions and/or requests;
To develop and improve our products, services, communication methods and the functionality of our websites;
For the purposes of competitions or promotions that you have entered;
To communicate information to you and to manage your registration and/or subscription to our newsletter or other communications;
To manage our everyday business needs regarding your participation in our contests, sweepstakes or promotional activities or request;
To authenticate the identity of individuals contacting us by telephone, electronic means or otherwise;
For internal training and quality assurance purposes;
To understand and assess the interests, wants, and changing needs of consumers, to improve our website, our current products and services, and/or developing new products and services; and

To provide personalised products, communications and targeted advertising as well as product recommendations to you.

When we collect and use your personal data for purposes mentioned above or for other purposes, we will inform you before or at the time of collection.

Where appropriate, we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. Where you have given consent for processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

In some cases, we rely on legitimate interest for processing your personal data. A legitimate interest could exist for example, when you sign up for a loyalty scheme with one of our brands and we use the personal data collected to conduct data analytics to improve our products or services. This ground will only be used where it is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, for example to assist in the performance of a contract, or to optimise a service, and does not outweigh your rights as an individual. This legal basis will only be relied upon where there is no less intrusive way to process your personal data. We can assure you that if legitimate interest is used as a ground for processing your personal data, we will keep a record of this and you have the right to ask for this information.

We process your personal data to perform a contract to which you are or will be a party. For example, we need to process your personal data to deliver a product or a service you bought, to allow you to take part in one of our competitions, or to send you samples that you have requested.

We also process your personal data when we have a legal obligation (e.g., tax or social security obligations) to perform such processing. For example, a court order or a subpoena may require us to process personal data for a particular purpose, or we may be compelled to process personal data to report suspicious transactions under the local anti-money laundering rules.

Profiling

Unilever uses your personal data to build profiles. We create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments. These segments are used by Unilever to personalise the website and our communications to you (such as showing relevant content to you when you visit our site or in a newsletter to you), and to display relevant offers and advertisements from the Unilever brands on the Unilever sites, and via third-party websites. The segments can also be used for third-party campaigns on the Unilever sites. Unilever profiles your data where you have provided consent for us to do so; for example, accepting the setting of cookies on your browser online or signing up for email newsletters from one of our brands.

You can withdraw your consent to prevent your personal data being used this way at any time using the manage cookies section of our Cookie Notice or unsubscribing to the use of your email address if you have logged into one of our websites or signed up to any marketing newsletters.

By way of example –

Unilever collects data, with your consent, from:
- Our websites about what you view and the way you interact with our content;
- Our digital display advertising that we serve to you on social platforms and other publisher’s websites; and
- Forms you fill in online and send to us about what your interests are.
We also track the products you buy when you click on one of our display adverts and go on to purchase something from a selection of our retail partners.
If you have asked to receive emails or SMS communications from us, we track whether you open, read or click on the content to see what you are interested in so that we can give you more content that we think you are more likely to enjoy.
We use this data to profile your likes and dislikes. For instance, if we see that you are regularly viewing Vegan recipes on our “Recipedia” website, and you have opted in to receiving emails from us, we might give you an update on the new Vegan recipes that have just hit the site for your interest, or we may tailor our web content when you visit towards things we think you’ll be most interested in.
Based on this profile information, we may also give you advertising that we think you will like and want to see as you view content from us or from our network of publishers that we advertise with. Sometimes, with your consent, we may use your current location to serve advertising to you that is to do with promotions or events that are happening nearby that we think you might be interested in.
We may also use information you have provided to selected third-parties and consented to be shared, like your age, gender, life stage, lifestyle and wider interests to identify people who we think will have similar interests to you and who we believe will be interested in similar advertising.

Automated decision-making

In some instances, Unilever processes your personal data using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data. For example:

Unilever uses game simulations of science-based behavioural assessments and data science techniques to assess prospective employees. Candidates are required to play a set of games and the behavioural patterns exhibited during gameplay are assessed by a Unilever customised algorithm to predict the candidate’s potential for a specific role. This algorithm is regularly tested to ensure it remains fair, effective and unbiased.

We will not make decisions based solely on automated decision making that have significant impact on you. If we do so we notify you and provide you with clear information about our decision to rely on automated processing to make our decision and our lawful basis for doing so. For example, Unilever processes your personal data using automated means only if it is necessary for the entering into or the performance of a contract with you, or when you have given your explicit consent.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal or other significant effects on you. In particular, you have the right:

to obtain human intervention;
to express your point of view;
to obtain an explanation of the decision reached after an assessment; and
to challenge such a decision.

As part of the Unilever Group, a global business, Hindustan Unilever Limited shares your personal data within the Unilever Group and with selected third-parties in the following circumstances:

They have access to personal data needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process this personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Business transfers. Your personal data will be used by us or shared with the Unilever Group, primarily for business and operational purposes. As Unilever Group continues to develop the business, it may sell or purchase assets, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, your personal data generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). If another entity acquires us, our businesses or substantially all or part of our assets, or assets related to Unilever’s websites, your personal data will be disclosed to such entity as part of the due diligence process and will be transferred to such entity as one of the transferred assets. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such personal data will be considered an asset of ours and as such it is possible they will be sold or transferred to third-parties.

- To comply with a legal obligation;
- When we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it;
- At the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation;

- To detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities;
- To respond to an emergency; or otherwise
- To protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third-parties, visitors to Unilever’s websites, Unilever or the public.

International data transfers

Unilever shares personal data within the Unilever Group or with third-parties for purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

Unilever will only send personal data collected within a restricted legal framework, such as e.g. the European Economic Area (EEA) or Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), to countries which do not have data protection laws that are considered to provide appropriate levels of protection in the restricted legal framework in circumstances such as:

· To follow your instructions;

· To comply with a legal duty; or

· To work with our agents and advisers who we use to help run our business and services.

If we do transfer personal data to outside of the restricted legal framework, Unilever will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in that restricted legal framework. We’ll use one of the following safeguards:

· Transfer to another Country whose privacy legislation ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data similar or equivalent to the country it was collected in;

Put in place a contract with the third-party that means they must protect personal data to the same standards as in the country the data was collected in.

Unilever takes the security of your personal data very seriously. We take every effort to protect your personal data from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Our measures include implementing appropriate access controls, investing in the latest Information Security Capabilities to protect the IT environments we leverage, and ensuring we encrypt, pseudonymise and anonymise personal data wherever possible.

Access to your personal data is only permitted among our employees and agents on a need-to-know basis and subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations when processed by third-parties.

We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the purpose it is being processed for. For example, where you make a purchase online with us we will keep the data related to your purchase, so we can perform the specific contract you have entered and after that, we will keep the personal data for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints, queries or concerns relating to the purchase.

Your data may also be retained so that we can continue to improve your experience with us and to ensure that you receive any loyalty rewards which are due to you.

We retain the identifiable data we collect directly for targeting purposes for as little time as possible, after which we employ measures to permanently delete it.

We will actively review the personal data we hold and delete it securely, or in some cases anonymise it, when there is no longer a legal, business or consumer need for it to be retained.
