September is the time when skin damage accumulated during the summer, such as from UV rays and dryness caused by air conditioning, tends to surface. For this time of year, we recommend the "Tom Kha Gai-style Soup for Beautiful Skin" with avocado.

High-protein, low-fat chicken breast replenishes the protein that forms the foundation of skin while supporting metabolism. The vitamin E and high-quality lipids in avocados improve skin's moisture retention and address fine lines and dullness caused by dryness. The mellowness of coconut milk also warms the body from the inside, leaving you feeling satisfied.

The lycopene in cherry tomatoes and vitamin C in lemon juice work to combat oxidative damage caused by UV rays, leading to clearer skin. Lemongrass and ginger, added as fragrant accents, promote circulation and are also effective in treating chills and swelling.

Enjoy a delicious and gentle dish to soothe your skin after the summer. Why not recharge your body and mind while relaxing your skin?
