from breakouts to balance
the solution is in treating the root cause
CLEARING THE WAY
Increasing scientific research supports the link between what we eat and the development of skin issues, and a growing body of evidence strongly points to diet as the root cause of acne.
Traditional acne treatments that involve prescription medication are symptom-focused, often accompanied by harsh side effects, and simply do not effectively address the underlying cause of acne — an internal imbalance. Unfortunately, many people are narrow-minded in their approach, solely relying on topical acne solutions without ever considering their diet's impact on their skin.
DIETARY WISDOM
The foods we consume significantly affect our hormone levels, inflammatory response, sebum production, and gut health — all of which either directly or indirectly impact the development and severity of acne. The wrong foods can act as culprits behind problematic skin and frequent breakouts, while the right foods help support clear skin by reducing inflammation, regulating hormone levels, and providing the necessary nutrients needed for skin health.
By recognizing the undeniable connection between diet and acne, we can adopt a more proactive and holistic approach to skincare, making informed dietary choices that not only address the internal factors that lead to clear skin but also improve our overall health and well-being.
THE FUNDAMENTALS
-
A low-glycemic diet rich in plant fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics, antioxidants and anti-androgenic foods has been clinically proven to improve the occurrence and severity of acne.
-
A high-glycemic diet and increased consumption of dairy, meat, sugar, refined carbohydrates and alcohol has been clinically proven to increase the development and exacerbation of acne.
-
Supplementing with key vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and herbs in therapeutic doses has been clinically proven to reduce & prevent acne.

— THE CLEAR SKIN METHOD
beyond creams and cleansers
How Dietary Choices Shape Skin Health
Hormone levels - certain foods cause fluctuations in hormones which trigger increased sebum production & contribute to acne
01
Inflammatory response - specific foods increase inflammation & oxidative stress in the body that exacerbate acne
02
Gut health - an imbalanced diet leads to a less diverse microbiome & increased permeability of the gut lining which prompts acne
03
Nutrient intake - inadequate intake of particular nutrients compromise the skin’s ability to function properly & increase the risk of acne
