So you feel like you’ve tried everything to get your skin the way you like it and nothing seems to work.
Could it be that what is on your plate is affecting your face?
Nutrition is another piece to the puzzle of your health.
The food we eat and the nutrients our body absorbs play a pivotal role in achieving optimum health
and wellbeing.
A nutritionist works like a detective by investigating the clues (your symptoms) and identifying their underlining cause. The aim is to prevent disease from developing and to guide your body to regain its own health.
How can nutrition support my skin health?
Our skin in the largest organ in our body and is an indicator for what is going on inside of us.
You may have noticed, when you feel your best your skin appears to be glowing and when you feel unwell your skin can become congested, dry and inflamed.
Nutritionists will support the health of your skin by identifying any signs of nutritional deficiencies and or imbalances contributing to impurities in your complexion.
With the use of specific foods and nutritional supplementation (if necessary) you will achieve the healthy and vibrant skin you deserve.
