I was watching the British Baking Show last night (not so secret indulgence, I really don’t bake, but love to watch). I’ve been rooting for this spunky women with fantastic flavor combinations and mad baking skills for the entire season.
Throughout the season, I couldn’t help but notice she struggled with acne on her face and specifically her cheeks. That, to me, means food sensitivity. Something she is eating is causing her breakouts, at least partially. I would have LOVED the opportunity to chat with her about her diet to ID one of the many easy culprits (sugar, gluten, dairy, corn, soy) and perhaps some regular foods that are not so common.
Watching this woman was a great reminder that what we eat matters and affects how we feel and how we look. Our skin is our largest organ and speaks to us through breakouts if it is unhappy. When it’s happy, it glows. When it’s not, it cracks, erupts and yells.
Is your skin talking to you? Sometimes it’s hard to interpret what it is saying. We can help you there. A good rule of thumb is that if you’re feeling little bumps or have red patches, that’s not normal. If it is smooth and supple, you’re doing great.
