Nutrition – how nutrition affects your skin, what to eat for healthy skin

At the practice of Dr. Kimberly Carpin, she knows how vital it is to eat a healthy diet to maintain overall health and wellness. However, did you know that nutrition can also impact your skin? Many patients who are eating healthy are doing so to reduce the risk of medical issues or to lose weight without realizing how it impacts their skin’s appearance and health as well. 

How does nutrition affect the skin? 

Nutritional changes can be made to help address skin issues such as skin thinning, fine lines and wrinkles, and dryness. Healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, and consumption of healthy fats are often associated with patients who have less wrinkles and better hydrated skin. This also goes for those who drink plenty of water each day to maintain skin’s moisture. 

What can I eat for healthy skin? 

Patients who understand the link between diet and skin health often have questions for Dr. Kimberly Carpin of Webster, TX, including questions about what they should eat to improve their skin’s appearance and health.
