Anti-acne

A menu studied to nourish the skin from the inside. Science has shown how the health of our skin is directly correlated to the health of our gut. All the meals are rich in nutrients that will nourish the gut microbiome at best for a healthy, glowy skin.  

Recommended Plant-Based Serum: Pumpkin seed oil – for the AM and/or PM routine. In the morning, apply it after your moisturizer and before sunscreen. At night, use it as the last step of your skincare routine.
