LCHF / Paleo Diet for Skin Health

Nutrition plays a powerful role in skin clarity, inflammation control, and overall dermatological outcomes. The LCHF and Paleo diets are increasingly integrated into skin treatment plans to support healing from within.

What is the LCHF Diet?
The Low-Carb High-Fat diet focuses on reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing healthy fats. This shift encourages the body to burn fat for energy (ketosis), stabilizes insulin levels, and reduces systemic inflammation.

What is the Paleo Diet?
The Paleo diet mimics ancestral eating patterns—emphasizing whole foods like lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. It eliminates processed foods, dairy, grains, and refined sugars, which are often linked to skin flare-ups.

Skin Benefits of LCHF / Paleo Diets:

Reduced acne breakouts – Lower insulin and sugar levels help regulate sebum production and reduce clogged pores.

Improved skin texture – Healthy fats like omega-3s support skin barrier function and hydration.

Anti-inflammatory effects – Both diets reduce triggers for eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.

Hormonal balance – Stabilized insulin and cortisol levels can improve hormonal acne.

Gut-skin connection – Whole foods support gut health, which directly impacts skin clarity and immunity.
