Although establishing a good skincare routine is essential to combatting problematic skin, it is also important to understand how diet and nutrition play a role in promoting overall skin health. 

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and the last organ to receive nutrients from the food we consume. Therefore, it should be no surprise that skin is reflective of our diet and lifestyle choices. If you are suffering from persistent acne, rosacea, or eczema, consider eliminating foods from your diet that could be contributing to inflammation. Common triggers include foods containing dairy, sugar, and sometimes even gluten. Identifying food intolerances can be difficult, but ultimately is a highly effective way to eradicate a wide range of health issues you may be experiencing. Cutting back on alcohol and caffeine, and increasing your water intake will also make a noticeable improvement to your skin. 

Incorporating nutrient-dense foods into your diet will help you achieve a glowing complexion and more youthful appearance. Berries and leafy greens are rich in antioxidants that protect your skin from free radical damage that leads to skin discolorations and loss of collagen. Salmon, avocados, walnuts, and flaxseeds are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids which help to reduce inflammation and prevent breakouts. At Pure Bliss Med Spa, we love smoothies that are both delicious and beautifying! Try making one at home with berries, spinach, and flaxseeds, 

Consuming excess amounts of processed foods will undoubtedly take a toll on your health and physical appearance, which includes your skin! By combining a healthy diet with effective skincare products, you will have the power to slow down the aging process and put a stop to acne flare-ups.
