The Good Skin Diet
Health & Fitness|March 2016

Forget about pricey skin creams – the secret to radiant skin lies in your diet, says nutritional therapist Alice Mackintosh.

The Good Skin Diet

The desire for radiant skin drives us to spend thousands every year on beauty products that promise the perfect complexion. While there’s no doubt many products help support your skin, the fact it has a visible outer layer doesn’t mean that the only way to help it is from the outside. As is the case for every other cell in your body, nourishing the skin’s cells comprehensively is an inside job. More often than not, you can achieve clearer, younger, more radiant skin simply by eating the right foods to support your body’s natural glow-boosting mechanisms.

PROVEN RESULTS

As a nutritionist working with people struggling with difficult skin conditions, I find that when they change their diet, they often notice drastic results. And it’s not just a dewy, plump complexion you can achieve by changing your diet. It can also discourage conditions such as acne, eczema, redness and hormonal-induced skin conditions. After working with thousands of clients struggling with these tricky and upsetting conditions, I found that simply introducing standard ‘skin foods’ such as nuts, berries and fish doesn’t really cut it. Instead, I delved deeper and looked at the latest scientific research, to determine how diet impacts the body. I then created an easy, practical plan for my clients so that they could incorporate meaningful changes into their diet and lifestyle. The diet works because it not only supports the skin directly, but also all the inner organs and systems that the skin communicates with and relies on to stay balanced. Try this comprehensive approach for longer-lasting results and skin that glows from within.

QUICK TIP Limit all added sugar – only ever use a little manuka honey in your food if needed.
