Diet and Skincare Correlation
Diet and Skincare Correlation
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2009

Have you ever thought about tweaking and enhancing your diet to address common skincare and beauty woes such as acne, rosacea, or dryness?
Anti-Inflammatory foods can actually help the look of swollen and red areas of the skin.Walnuts, walnuts, flaxseed, and olive oil are all foods that contain high amounts of omega 3’s which are powerful anti-inflammatory agents.
 
Recent studies link dairy products with mild to severe cases of acne. If you’re an acne sufferer, it may be time to switch to soy.  You can also add more calcium to your diet through leafy greens and beans.
 
Selenium is another super-food your skin needs to thrive. Whole wheat breads, turkey, tuna and brazil nuts are all great sources of selenium.
 
Although everyone knows water is needed for beautiful skin, not everyone knows how much they should drink. A half-gallon/8 glasses a day is a minimum that everyone should be drinking. You can add extra benefits to your water by adding crushed vitamins and dissolving them before drinking. This will make the vitamins bio-available, and your skin will show the benefits.
 
Diet foods shouldn’t be just about what you take in, but what you put on. I always encourage my celebrity clients to look for products with naturally derived ingredients. You can do this on the cheap at home with an easy skin-polishing slough: mix 3/4 cup dry oatmeal with ½ cup honey. Rub on face and body for a few minutes and rinse off in the shower. You’re skin will glow and your wallet will shine!
