Treating Adult Acne, Naturally

A good diet equals good skin. Two things that are instantly noticeable on registered holistic nutritionist and real-food media expert Kim D’Eon’s Instagram feed (@kimdeoncom) are her mouth-watering healthy food pics and her clear, beautiful skin. “Reducing inflammation from the inside out is a key component to fighting acne,” says D’Eon.

Natural skin remedy? Ground flaxseed is one of her blemish-fighting pantry essentials. “These little super-seeds are super-high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are powerfully anti-inflammatory,” she says. “They’re also great at balancing hormones.” Aim for two tablespoons a day – you can add them to smoothies, porridge, soups and salads.
