Food for Happy and Healthy Skin

Our skin is our largest organ. Thankfully, people are becoming much more aware of the importance of healthy, happy skin. We’re putting on sunscreen, applying oils, and even doing some lymphatic work through gua sha. It’s important to remember that healthy skin actually starts on the inside. Our skin has it’s own microbiome, similar to our gut. What we put inside our body is directly reflected on the outside. If we provide our bodies with nutrients and nourishment, our skin will thrive and we can take a proactive approach to skincare (& maybe save some $$ on products in the meantime).
