Our beautiful skin starts with what we choose to eat. A diet consisting of greasy foods will cause oily skin. Not consuming enough water will lead to dehydrated, flaky skin. A balanced diet will leave the skin normal. You know the saying you are what you eat, let’s put a spin on it. Your skin shows what you eat. We should be thinking of our skin care along the lines of: if you can’t eat it then why would you treat your skin with it.
