Eat Your Way to Clear Skin

Model Karrueche Tran has great skin!

Lose the processed carbs
  • Simple carbohydrates – like white bread, pasta, biscuits and sweets are bad for your skin 
  •  A study showed that switching the white stuff for wholegrains led to fewer pimples.
  •  Plus, other research found that losing the carbs meant 28 per cent fewer blackheads and whiteheads, and 71 percent fewer cystic pimples, after 10 weeks.
  • reduce sugary treats 
  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 

Cut down on dairy

  • One large study showed women who drank the most milk were 44 percent more likely to have severe acne than women who drank no milk.
  • There are other alternatives like almond milk 

Load up on fruit & veg

  • One study found that people who ate six servings of fresh produce every day for six weeks were rated as more attractive than those who ate less fruit and vegetables.
  • Other research found photos of subjects who ate a healthy diet rich in fruit and veg were rated more attractive than those with suntans.
  • eat five portions a day at least 
  •  Load up on Vitamin C 
  • Raw fruit is the best since it contains alot of water

Switch meat for fish
  •  omega-3 fats can actually help to reduce inflammation, a factor in acne and redness.

  • Anti-inflammatory, plant-based fats are also vital for clear skin so eat : avocado, extra virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds 
 
 
Most of all DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!!!!!
