A multi-pronged approach to skin health
Having healthy skin is more than just about the products you use, your daily skincare routine and the treatments you invest in.

Although these factors certainly play a role in enhancing your best features, your diet plays a huge role in whether the exterior of your skin looks radiant and healthy or not. This is primarily because your gut is responsible for skin regulation, meaning the healthier your diet, the healthier your skin will be. There is the old adage you are what you eat.
To have a skin that glows is the ultimate goal which starts from the inside out. An aesthetics provider, such as Skin Renewal Bedfordview, will help you determine the root cause of your skin issues. Simply applying any products can potentially worsen your skin issues. Skin Renewals’ medical Doctors have a special interest in Aesthetics and will be able to determine if your skin issues are caused by an unbalanced gut or not. They will create a bespoke skincare journey that address a myriad of concerns and yields the results you desire.
What makes skin healthy?
Healthy skin is radiant and feels good. It is free of discomfort, blockages, and acne. It also has no rashes, dark spots, and is neither too dry nor too oily.
Treating your skin from the inside out
As previously mentioned, your diet plays a huge role in your skin’s health. In order to have healthier skin, it’s important to not only focus on acquiring quality skincare products, but it’s also important to focus on eating a diet that is rich in fruit, vegetables and plenty of fresh water. Doing so prevents skin inflammation and rapid ageing that is caused by the lining of the gut becoming inflamed.
Food you should avoid or limit for a healthy gut and healthy skin
Gluten
Gluten is a protein whose consumption often leads to spots on the face, usually on the cheeks, chin, and forehead. It also often causes pigmentation as well as skin sensitivity.
Dairy
Dairy is the main culprit for breakouts for many people. It also causes puffy and dark under-eye areas and pale cheeks.
Wine
Wine consumption can result in dehydrated skin with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as feathery lines on the cheeks. Added to this, it can cause spots between the eyebrows and a puffy, dark, eye area.
Sugar
Sugar is notorious for being one of the top foods to avoid for good skin. It causes gut inflammation, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, ageing skin, and spots.
