Keto and Healthy Skin
Okay guys, it’s time to talk about my favorite subject… Skin!! As a licensed skin therapist, skin is
my business. And I’m happy to report that my skin is flawless (with the exception of some
dimples on my legs but I’m a woman and there’s really nothing that can be done about cellulite;
it’s completely normal).
The skin is the body’s largest organ. It is also a window to what’s going on inside the body. Skin
can be an indicator of whether or not you are having health problems. For example, high blood
pressure can make your face look red and flushed. Too many greasy and/or high-glycemic foods
can cause acne. Food allergies can cause your skin break to out in an itchy, blotchy rash. Lack of
sleep and energy can cause dark circles under your eyes. Too much sodium can cause swelling
around the eye area. Hypothyroidism and diabetes can cause skin to be excessively dry and
itchy. Wrinkles can be an indicator of osteoporosis. Personally, I get patches of eczema on my
neck if I eat dairy since I am intolerant.
Of course, poor skin conditions can be simply caused by not properly cleansing and moisturizing
your skin, too much sun exposure, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and many other
environmental factors. It is not necessarily an internal health problem.
On the ketogenic diet you will be increasing your intake of leafy green vegetables, water,
protein, and healthy fats which will fill you up with water-rich foods, nutrients, antioxidants and
can calm sensitive and itchy skin, reduce inflammation and redness, rebuild cell membranes, ward
off wrinkles, boost collagen and cellular metabolism, balance out your skin, and reduce the
appearance of cellulite.
Of course my secret to flawless skin is to take care of it internally as well as externally. Only
20% of how your skin ages is due to genetics which means we have 80% control! The creators
of the wildly successful skin care line, ProActiv, dermatologists Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy
