Let's be honest, there is a direct link between what you eat and your skin. I am surprised by the reaction of my clients when I tell them this! I'm not saying that if your diet's not the greatest you're going to have bad skin, but I am saying that it could be contributing to some problems you may be noticing. If you have ever heard the expression you are what you eat, there is truth to that. If you eat a lot of greasy foods chances are you will have an oily complexion with some congestion and maybe even some breakout. If you eat a lot of spicy foods this can contribute to heat in the skin (redness & broken capillaries).
Did you know the most common breakout area after a night of drinking is between the eyes around the eyebrows? On an acupressure meridian this area represents the liver, so it makes sense that your body is detoxing in the form of breakout there.
Adequate hydration is important for healthy skin considering it does make up the majority of our body weight. It’s better to be properly hydrated then dehydrated. Dehydration shows in the skin as very fine lines on the surface. As long as your kidneys are functioning properly and you take in more water then your body uses in a day, your hydration levels should be optimal.
Making sure you have a diet full of vitamins and minerals is essential for optimal skin health. Each vitamin plays a vital role in structure, growth and development of tissue in every part of your body including your skin. If you consume the proper vitamins in appropriate quantities, your skin should be healthier, radiant and vibrant. If you find yourself deficient in vitamins A,C,D and E you may find your skin to be a little dull or even sallow.
