Your skin is your body’s largest organ, weighing in at about 6 pounds and covering a surface area of 18 square feet, according to the Cleveland Clinic and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

Did you know your eating habits can affect your skin?

Skincare isn’t just about our routines or the products we use; it includes what we’re noshing on throughout the day.

In fact, what you eat can be as important as the serums and creams you apply on your skin, says Dr. Jessica Wu, a dermatologist in Los Angeles and author of Feed your Face.

How Does Diet Affect Your Skin?

As I mentioned, our food choices can have a direct effect on our skin’s health.

“What you eat can affect your hormone balance, cause acne, and create or lessen inflammation, which is associated with skin aging,” said Dr. Wu.
