Absolutely hydration is one of the key pillars in taking care of your skin, this alone can bring so much clarity. Looking at the root cause of any skin imbalance is key when treating any skin condition, this often will begin in the gut. Eating plenty of foods rich in antioxidants, probiotics or gut healing foods like collagen, bone broths, or oily fish may all improve skin health. I often will prescribe supplements such as essential fatty acids (in the form of fish oils, or algae-based oils), zinc, probiotics, or vitamins A, C or D to support a healthy complexion. Herbal allies can make profound differences to skin health, I will often look to herbs such as calendula, echinacea, liver loving herbs such as dandelion root, or globe artichoke, as well as herbs such as gotu kola, or licorice will often be found in my skin herbal mixes.
