Skin, our largest organ of our body is an immune barrier that protects our insides and regulates our inner temperature.
Unhealthy looking skin is an indication that you may be unhealthy inside as well.
Having amazing skin isn’t only about the products that we apply on our skin. Our skin is also a reflection of the food we eat. Certain foods can help heal acne and inflammation, while others can cause breakouts.
