EAT YOUR WAY TO HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN! DIETARY TIPS TO GET A HEALTHY GLOW

FROM WITHIN By Lindsay Wilson While some of us spend a small fortune on facial care products (guilty!), we often overlook one of the most fundamental ways to support our best skin—diet. Our skin is a visual representation of the saying “you are what you eat,” and is indeed a reflection of overall health. Nutrition is closely tied to skin health, and an array of nutrients are required to repair, heal, and promote healthy skin; on the flip side, poor nutrition can lead to oxidative damage, inflammation, poor barrier function, dehydration, and premature aging. There are obvious things to avoid, like cigarettes and alcohol, which have both been shown to accelerate hyperpigmentation, lead to thinning and dryness, and destroy skin barrier function, but that’s just the beginning. Read on to discover what to eat, and not eat, to get a healthy glow from within.
