What you eat can have a huge impact on your skin fast. What happens when we consume skin-irritating foods like wheat (gluten), dairy, sugar, alcohol and coffee, is that it triggers the release of pro-inflammatory hormones which can lead to things like rosacea, eczema, dermatitis and redness of the skin.
Cee Harmon's insight:
According to Holistic Nutritionist Joy McCarthy, what you put into your body (and what you don't put into it) can play a huge role in the overall health of your skin.
A good general rule of thumb to ensure you're eating beautifying foods on a daily basis is to eat a variety of as many colorful foods as possible.

If your child has eczema it is fine to give them a dunk in the bath every day, as long as you apply lots of moisturizer to their skin afterwards, US experts say.
Dr Carsten Flohr, from the British Association of Dermatologists and an expert at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and the Evelina London Children's Hospital, has been studying the effects of frequent bathing on skin barrier function.
He said daily bathing or washing every other day was fine, but soap, bubble baths and shower gels could irritate the skin and make eczema worse in some people.
Cee Harmon's insight:
According to researchers, after you've gently pat dried the child's skin, you should smear plenty of moisturizing lotion on them to seal in the moisture.
