10 foods that can damage your skin

Often skincare concentrates only on treating it externally with products such as creams, toners, and exfoliants. However, we can also help our skin look healthy and radiant from the inside by  eating a balanced diet and avoiding some foods that in excess can damage, deteriorate, and inflame your skin.

Mark Health 360 wants to share 10 foods that you should eat in moderation if you want to maintain youthful and healthy skin.

Salt:

Although it is used daily to prepare food, if consumed in excess, salt can affect the skin’s hydration and cause the thinner layers to weaken and wrinkles to appear around the eyes.

Seafood:

It has a good content of healthy fats, but sometimes it causes acne and skin allergies.

Alcoholic drinks

They have a high impact on skin hydration. The skin layers dry out when consuming alcohol, making it look tired and fine lines more noticeable.

Processed foods:

Due to a large amount of sodium and preservatives in these foods, retention of liquids may happen, and the skin can become inflamed and reddish.

Coffee:

If consumed in excess, coffee can raise the levels of the stress hormone (cortisol) and accelerate the aging process, dehydration, and loss of luminosity.

Soft drinks:

They seem harmless, but their high refined sugar content reduces skin collagen and elastin.

Trans Fats:

These saturated fats present in fast foods have a negative effect on the elasticity of the skin, blocking blood flow and damaging skin quality.

Spicy food:

It mainly effects people with a predisposition to suffer from rosacea or sensitive skin. The spice dilates the blood vessels and can cause inflammation.

Milk:

This drink can be loaded with too many fats that are difficult for some people to digest, causing acne or pimples on the face or back.

Meat:

This protein causes, in some cases, hormonal imbalances due to the high content of chemicals used in raising livestock. Some people experience difficult digestion of meat, which causes the body to fill with toxins reflected in the skin.
