I understand this is /r/skincareaddiction (so cue the products), but what about nutrition?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have been a long time lurker of this sub, and honestly I'm a little disheartened at the lack of education around here about some basic nutritional approaches to treating skincare problems. Many of the skincare problems we all face can be attributed to hormonal or nutritional phenomena, so why not address those issues FIRST before heading down the antibiotic, chemical, and product route?Maybe this is just frustrating to me, having seen some vast improvements in my own skin complexion by simply changing my diet and supplementing a little. I tried for years with creams, scrubs, exfoliants, whatever, and never had the least bit of success compared to eating a whole foods diet (and in my case, restoring my zinc deficiency, which can be a major cause of acne). I do still use very few products (mostly just my CeraVe foaming face wash), but have since moved away from products in favor of letting my body handle it from the inside out. Sorry for the rant, and wishing you all the best in skin and skin health :)
