When it comes to good skin care I think one of the things we overlook the most is our diet. I'm a stickler for healthy eating for a whole list of reasons, but one of the first benefits you'll notice when you clean up your diet is more beautiful and radiant skin!
Have you ever examined your skin after you've been on a sugar binge? Of course, that is assuming that you don't live in a state of perpetual sugar binge. Consuming too much raw sugar seems to make skin look tired and less supple.
In contrast, have you ever done a trial of clean eating and examined your skin 1 week in, 2 weeks in…? It's amazing how you can see benefits that quick! Aside from healthier, radiant skin-- you'll also notice other benefits when you clean up your diet, like weight loss and improvements in overall health.
Hmm….feeling better and looking better through clean eating, kind of sounds like a no brainer to me.
So, what is clean eating exactly? Well, the basic answer is that it involves removing processed foods from your diet. There are different definitions clean eating-- and sort of different levels. Some people are adamant about having less than 4 ingredients in any purchased/pre-made item. Personally, I feel like that is a little strict-- I lean towards reading labels and making sure that all of the ingredients are real ingredients (and not preservatives and color additives), and there are not a lot of added sugars.
