A Guide to Skin Health

How to Best Care for Your Skin Taking care of your skin is a lifestyle more than a once-and-done activity. Your skin’s health is affected by what you eat, what you do, and where you spend your time. In this section of the book, we’ll be covering some of the best things you can do to keep your skin healthy and vibrant. Have a Skin Healthy Diet The first step to having healthy skin is to look at your diet. What you eat has an effect on your skin’s health and the aging process of your skin. Experts believe that these foods can be some of the worst for skin health: ⦁ Refined sugar or grains ⦁ Fatty meat ⦁ Processed meats ⦁ Dairy for some may cause acne breakouts ⦁ Fast food ⦁ Chips and other greasy foods ⦁ Foods with a high glycemic index ⦁ Artificial sweeteners ⦁ Alcohol ⦁ Spicy foods (for certain people may trigger rosacea) ⦁ Soda ⦁ Baked goods Of course that doesn’t mean a person can never eat these types of food, but rather that they should be eaten in moderation or rarely, as opposed to a staple of a diet.
