We already know that skincare is not just all about using the right products on our skin. It is also about having the discipline to stick to our skincare routines and having a healthy lifestyle. Just like how we watch what we consume when we are on a diet, we also need to be mindful of what we eat if we want healthier and clearer skin.
As the saying goes, “We are what we eat.” When taking care of our skin, what we eat has a big impact on how clear our skin will be. Eat too many oily foods and you will risk getting breakouts. Not drinking enough water? Expect to get dry skin. Today, we are going to be focusing on the different drinks that can help you clear your skin.
