Food For Glowing Skin

Food For Glowing Skin

No gatekeeping here. We're here to share our secrets on how to achieve the healthy, happy, glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of. It’s not a serum or magic supplement… it’s simply eating your way to a healthy complexion. Our skin is our largest organ and it needs extra love and nourishment. Luckily in recent years our awareness has heightened, and using sunscreen and even using our favourite lymphatic drainage Gua sha’s have become popular. But what many of us overlook, is that the body detoxifies through the skin. Over time, the buildup of toxins, heavy metals, inflammatory foods, alcohol etc. burden the body and they need to find a way out. It’s important to remember that healthy skin actually starts on the inside. Our skin has its own microbiome, just like our gut. Knowing that our skin is a reflection of our gut health, we can now make that connection and provide our bodies with nutrients and nourishment. Common blemish triggers and foods to avoid include dairy, gluten and sugar. Let's keep this in mind and our skin will thrive. Allowing us to take a proactive approach to skincare incorporate these foods daily...
