It’s important to remember that your skin can be a reflection of overall health. In other words, a nutritious diet can help keep you healthy on the inside and healthy on the outside as well. Here are a few key points to keep in mind and discuss with your skin care physician when trying to improve your complexion through diet.
• It may seem fishy, but make sure you’re getting enough omega-3 fatty acids. Having the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can affect inflammation inside your body that can also show up on your skin. Eating more omega-3 rich foods, such as salmon and mackerel, and taking fish oil supplements may help achieve the proper balance of fatty acids that can affect inflammation.
• Stay hydrated! Drinking 8 or more glasses of water a day helps rid the body and skin of toxins.
• Keep that sweet tooth in check! Regulating blood sugar can help improve your complexion by limiting outbursts of the hormone insulin. Some studies show that people who adhere to a diet with a low glycemic load can help lessen skin issues such as acne. The antioxidants found in vegetables (which you won’t find in junk food) can help keep your skin looking fantastic.

Great spa! Very beautiful and calming atmosphere. The relaxation room and locker room are modern, well kept, and relaxing. Everyone I encountered was kind and helpful.

I treated my 74-year-old mother to a birthday facial, and the staff and experience at Essentials Medispa & Salon were outstanding. Check-in was seamless, the team was so polite, and the facial itself was a little slice of heaven. I highly recommend Essentials for anyone who needs a break from the world or as a special treat for a loved one or occasion.

I was visiting family from out of town and was incredibly tight from my flight. I booked a massage and was pleasantly surprised at how nice this spa was! I left feeling so much better.
