You may be thoughtfully caring for your skin each day but inadvertently overlooking one food proven to increase your risk of acne, dermatitis, canker sores, and several other skin conditions. Eliminate this protein, and you may experience healthier skin.

Story at a Glance

  • While you may take great care with the outside of your skin each day, the foods you’re eating may be doing greater damage.
  • Close to 6 percent of people in the United States are gluten-sensitive, which affects blood glucose and insulin resistance and triggers skin damage.
  • Some grain products can act like wheat, increasing gut permeability and overall inflammation in your body.
You may prudently care for your skin each day, cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and hydrating. But did you know that the sandwich you had at lunch may be doing more damage to your skin than skipping one of your nightly rituals?
