KEY POINTS

The foods we eat can significantly impact our skin health.

Common culprits like dairy, sugar, processed foods, and wheat (containing gluten) can trigger inflammation and worsen acne in some people.

You can take charge of your skin health by making some simple dietary changes. Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Jayne Williams suggest to start by keeping a food diary to track what you eat and how your skin reacts. Notice any patterns? Once you identify potential triggers, try eliminating them for 30 days to see if your skin improves.

Focus on nourishing your gut with fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

These foods promote healthy gut bacteria, which play a crucial role in skin health.

And don’t hesitate to seek help from a doctor or nutritionist. They can offer personalized advice and guide you towards the best dietary changes for your specific needs.

Remember, achieving clear skin is a journey, not a sprint. Be patient, persistent, and kind to yourself. With the right approach, you can nourish your skin from the inside out and regain your confidence.
