The Internet and the social media are flooding us all with information about what to eat and what to avoid.

This increases sebum production and brings on breakouts. Refined carbohydrates have a similar effect, so avoid high-glycemic foods like white bread. Low-glycemic foods will clear up the skin. Stay away from fried foods as the saturated and trans fats heighten IGF-1 and inflammation. Choose baked, steamed, or poached food instead.

Chemicals are everywhere, but it’s possible to limit exposure. Use natural cleaners in place of products with toxic, harsh fumes.
