While there might be a lucky few that are genetically blessed with flawless skin regardless of diet, nutritionist and owner of Feel Fresh Nutrition, Abbie O’Rourke, believes the majority of us can’t have good skin with a poor diet. “You really can tell someone’s overall health through their skin,” she says. “If you’re not eating the right food you might have blotchy, dry skin, a bit of acne, maybe deeper wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes,” she explains, adding that for our body to perform the way we need it to, we need to fuel it correctly. “In terms of cellular repair and fighting inflammation, we need the right nutrients. When people are eating processed food, it’s noticeable on their skin.”
