If you are dedicated, I think a change of what you are eating could significantly improve your skin health. I put two links below for you to read more information. Here's what I'm suggesting:
After consuming "blended leafy greens" on a daily basis for 6 weeks, by making quick and easy "green smoothies," I noticed a huge difference in my skin. My skin doesn't break out like it used to, and it now has a healthy glow.
If you’re suffering with acne, there’s a very good chance that the smoothies will greatly help due to their high carotenoid content. You’ll be getting tons of nutrition (blended greens give you 4 TIMES the amount of nutrition compared to eating them, because the blender is able to more thoroughly break down all the cell walls in order to release nutrients. So, drinking 1 cup of blended greens is like eating “FOUR” cups of greens!!), you may notice your appetite going down (because your body will be getting so much nutrition), you may find that you feel calmer and happier (greens are great for this), have more energy (the most common reaction I hear about) and a host of many more health benefits!
Tips to Keep in Mind:
To jump-start the benefits, I recommend doing 6–8 cups a day, or 2 handfuls of greens, until you see improvements. You can then do one handful a day. Please keep in mind that it's very important to get at least a few servings of your greens every week from hormone balancing cruciferous greens, like spinach, kale, collards, bok choy, etc., otherwise, you may not see the results you hope for.
Please give the smoothies at least a 12 week try. If you are not improving, you might also consider supplementing with DIM, which is naturally found in cruciferous vegetables (mentioned above), but the supplement can give you more than you could consume through vegetables in a day. You can read about it here.
According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, it's vital to up your carotenoid content. This can easily be done with green smoothies, green juices, and cruciferous based soups (see recipes in the links below). Be sure to use lots of cruciferous greens (there are lists in the links), limit fruit to 4-5 pieces a day (don't eat all 4 pieces at once though, and you might want to opt for low-sugar fruits, like green apples, even though the leafy greens do help to balance out the fruit sugar), avoid all dried fruit, fruit juices, and dairy. Limit nuts and seeds as well to perhaps no more than one ounce a day and opt for more seeds over nuts (if you're a plant-based eater and are worried about weight loss from eating less nuts/seeds, add in more beans and starchy vegetables, like squash). Exercise (enough to sweat), avoid alcohol, don't overeat, and don't smoke.
Carry a bottle of water with you everywhere (and drink from it).
It is up to you if you choose to eat more leafy green foods, and I am sure you will feel and see an amazing change in your skin health if you are dedicated to it!
