Nutrient-poor diets can lead to inflammation, breakouts, and premature skin ageing. We can turn to skincare products, but many of these can’t reach the deeper layers of the skin. So, for step 1 in our skincare regimens, we should look at what’s on our plates rather than our bathroom shelves.

First, there are two things I want you to know when it comes to nutrition and skin health.

Skin has a 28-day cycle. So, once you change your diet, you may not see changes overnight, but that glow might appear in about a month’s time.
Diet is only one part of the puzzle; hormones, genetics, sleep, and stress all come into play when it comes to our skin. Good or Bad skin is rarely caused by diet alone. Many people cut out entire food groups to improve their skin, but this approach can often lead to more harm than good.
Before jumping into the five principles, I want to bring your awareness to two things I would consider avoiding when it comes to skin or, at the very least, taking a moderate approach.

What To Avoid – Nutrition and The Skin
Alcohol:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Alcohol is pro-inflammatory and dehydrating; plus, when you drink, you tend to eat poorly and sleep poorly, which affects your skin.

A study that included more than 3,000 women found that women who drink eight or more drinks a week (the equivalent of one bottle of wine) are more likely to have fine lines on their upper faces, foreheads, and around the eyes. The study also showed midface volume loss and more visible blood vessels.

Alcohol can also flare pre-existing conditions such as eczema and rosacea.

But a big problem here is that alcohol also wreaks havoc on hormones and sleep. At night, when you sleep, you produce growth hormones; it is a time when we regenerate, and skin turnover is at its highest, renewing your cells. But drinking disrupts this process, so we need to protect our sleep.

Also, if you are sleep-deprived, your cortisol, a stress hormone, increases, and we know that stress worsens many skin conditions. It can lead to breakouts and exacerbate psoriasis.

Restrictive Diets
I would also avoid very low-calorie or restrictive diets.

When we eat, our bodies prioritise sending the nutrition to our brain and heart first. Then, it goes to the lungs, liver, and kidneys, and then it goes to muscle and bone. Finally, anything leftover goes into your skin. This means our skin is the last place to get nutrition, so you need to have enough nutrition coming in, in order to get those nutrients into lovely, glowing, healthy skin.
