What to Eat for Clearer Skin: A Simple Anti-Acne Diet Guide

Your skin reflects your gut and lifestyle. While acne has many causes, food plays a key role.

Foods that support skin clarity:

✅ Omega-3 fats: Salmon, chia seeds, walnuts

✅ Antioxidants: Berries, green tea, leafy greens

✅ Zinc: Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, eggs

✅ Fiber: Oats, lentils, fruits — support gut health

✅ Water: Hydration is essential for elasticity

Foods to limit:

❌ Sugar and refined carbs (spike insulin → inflammation)

❌ Dairy (some find it triggers breakouts)

❌ Fried and greasy foods

❌ Ultra-processed snacks

Bonus tips:

• Try a 4-week food journal to spot patterns
• Prioritize sleep and manage stress — cortisol can worsen acne

Glowing skin starts from within.
