Nutrition – how nutrition affects your skin, and what to eat for healthy skin
At Acqua Med Spa, we visit with patients on a regular basis who want to improve their skin’s appearance and health. Imperfections on the skin, including acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and eczema, can make patients feel self-conscious. In addition to working with a professional to develop a daily skincare regimen, patients should also consider what they eat and how it impacts their skin. Many patients are excited to learn that they can improve their skin with changes in their diet and nutritional intakes.
How does your nutrition impact your skin’s health and appearance?
They always say “you are what you eat,” which is already recommending that you take great care in what you consume on a daily basis as it can impact your body tremendously. For example, patients who want to slow the signs of aging will want to improve their intake of certain vitamins, including Vitamins A and C. Individuals who have certain issues may also want to make changes in their diet. An example of this would be patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis can be improved with Vitamins A and D. Inflammation on the skin might benefit from increased intake of Vitamins D and E. Talking with a professional at Acqua Med Spa is the first step in learning more about how your vitamin and mineral intake can have a significant effect on your skin.
