The Importance Of A Good Diet On Your Skin

Skin Care should always begin with good eating habits and a balanced diet. Not only will this help you stay healthy, but it will also provide the foundation for any skin care products you may need to pick up the ‘slack’. To find out what your skin type is and what your skin needs, it’s best to seek the advice of a qualified dietitian and dermatologist.

Once you know what your skin needs, you can research which ingredients are best suited to your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, essential fatty acid-rich oils such as evening primrose, hemp, and raspberry seed oils can help to naturally alleviate sensitive skin issues. For oily skin, look for products with astringent oils like grape seed oil and essential oils known to reduce excess oils. If you have dry, sensitive skin, use moisturizers with medium to heavy oil content and use products high in essential fatty acids after showering or bathing to help lock in moisture.

By tuning in to your specific needs and body chemistry, you can find the best possible combination of ingredients, diet and treatments to achieve maximum results.
