Sea moss gel is packed with 92 essential minerals that support skin health, including zinc, sulfur, and magnesium, which help reduce inflammation, fight acne, and promote healing.

Whether consumed or applied topically as a face mask, this powerhouse ingredient nourishes the skin from the inside out, leaving it clear, radiant, and refreshed. I eat two tablespoons of sea moss gel per day and even give a lick of it to my dog!

Kimchi is a probiotic powerhouse supporting gut health, directly linked to clearer, healthier skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce acne, redness, and irritation, while vitamins A, C, and E promote collagen production, hydration, and a natural glow.

Personally, I cannot eat dairy because it contributes to a lot of acne. Therefore, when it comes to yogurt I am obsessed with coconut cult. It is very tasty and super rich in probiotics.

Drinking the right teas can help detoxify the skin, reduce inflammation, and boost collagen production for a healthy glow. Green tea is rich in antioxidants (EGCG) that fight acne, protect against UV damage, and slow aging.

Rooibos tea is packed with zinc and alpha hydroxy acids, which help with skin renewal and hydration. Chamomile tea soothes irritation, reduces redness, and promotes a clear complexion, while spearmint tea helps balance hormones and control acne breakouts.

Berries are skin superfoods packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration-boosting compounds that promote a clear, youthful glow. Their high vitamin C content boosts collagen production, keeping skin firm and reducing fine lines. The antioxidants (like anthocyanins and flavonoids) help fight free radical damage, preventing premature aging and sun damage.

 Berries also have anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness and irritation, making them great for acne-prone skin. Plus, their high water content keeps skin hydrated and plump.

These nutrient-dense veggies also act as a natural sun protectant, helping to prevent UV damage and premature aging. Eating them regularly can keep your skin clear, radiant, and healthy from within! Sometimes I eat a raw carrot salad with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper which really does wonders for the skin and gut. I try to have carrots and sweet potatoes a few times per week.

After struggling with acne for years and finally healing my skin holistically, I’ve learned so many valuable skincare tips. Here are my top ones!

Dry Brushing : One contributing factor to acne may be that your lymphatic system needs some help detoxing the body. To help the body detox, I have started dry brushing my body before I take a shower. Dry brushing is a powerful detoxifying practice that helps clear the skin by exfoliating dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting lymphatic drainage.

The gentle brushing motion boosts circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a healthy, radiant glow. By stimulating the lymphatic system, dry brushing helps flush out toxins that can contribute to breakouts and dull skin. It also aids in reducing inflammation, preventing ingrown hairs, and improving skin texture, making it an excellent addition to any clear-skin routine!

Double cleansing at night: This is a game-changer for clear, healthy skin because it ensures all dirt, oil, and makeup are fully removed, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. The first cleanse, usually with an oil-based cleanser, dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.

The second cleanse, with a water-based or gentle foaming cleanser, removes deeper impurities, sweat, and bacteria, leaving the skin fresh, balanced, and ready to absorb skincare products. This method helps prevent acne, minimizes congestion, and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion!

Using SLS free toothpaste: Using SLS-free toothpaste can help prevent breakouts, especially around the mouth and chin. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a harsh foaming agent found in many traditional toothpastes that can trigger skin irritation, perioral dermatitis, and acne for some people.

By switching to an SLS-free formula, you reduce the risk of clogged pores, redness, and inflammation caused by residue around the lips and jawline. Opting for a natural, fluoride-free, or gentle toothpaste can support clear, healthy skin, especially if you're prone to breakouts in this area!

Achieving healthy, glowing skin isn’t just about the products you apply—it starts from within. By nourishing your body with skin-loving foods like fatty fish, berries, leafy greens, and collagen-rich bone broth, you provide the essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your skin needs to thrive. Pairing a nutrient-dense diet with smart skincare habits—like double cleansing, dry brushing, and choosing gentle, non-irritating products—can help you maintain a clear, radiant complexion long-term. Remember, consistency is key! Treat your skin with care, fuel your body with the right nutrients, and watch your natural glow shine through. ✨

Sending Healing,
