1. Skin care alone is not enough! Why you need to improve your diet to improve dry skin

1-1. The body is made entirely from the food we eat.

When we are hungry for an extended period of time, we lose strength and concentration. However, when we find ourselves in such a situation, we can quickly feel energized and regain energy by eating some food.

Or, many people have probably experienced at least once the phenomenon of their physical condition and shape changing under the influence of the quantity and content of food they eat, such as losing weight by eating less food on a diet or gaining weight by eating too much junk food or oily food.


1-2. Nutritional consumption is champagne tower style! Dry skin is impossible to improve without full nutrition

The order in which nutrients are used is as follows

Nutrients we consume from food are first used in the blood and brain, which are essential to sustain life, and then in the muscles and other important parts of the body. After these vital parts are nourished, the remaining nutrients are used to heal stress and disease.

That is why daily skin care with serums and cleansers is important to improve dry skin, but inner care to nourish cells with food is also important.

1-3. Can changing food change not only dry skin but also hair and muscles?

What happens when we continue to get quality nutrition for our skin cells and sebum and nourish our bodies?

The reason for this is hinted at in the steps to improving dry skin through diet, as I just compared it to a champagne tower.

When we want to "nourish the skin sufficiently," we need to keep pouring lots of quality champagne = nourishment from the top glass to all the bottommost glasses.

Also, champagne = nourishment is not poured into just any one particular glass (part).

And the more of this champagne that is poured into every glass in the champagne tower, which means that it nourishes the entire body.

Improved nutrition for the skin will also result in the improvement of every cell in the body. I want to improve my skin, my hair, and my constitution, all of them! This is a great story for those people.

All of the aforementioned foods contain oils high in linoleic acid or are used abundantly in their preparation. There is also concern that these foods also contain high levels of trans fatty acids, which are regulated in other countries because of their significant impact on arteriosclerosis and heart disease.
