27 Ways to Make Your Skin Glow

RE-THINK DAIRY

The jury is out on whether removing dairy from your diet can benefit your skin, but according to skin expert Wu, if you're struggling to control persistent acne, it could well be worth a try. "Dairy products – even those that are organic – contain cow hormones that stimulate your oil glands and your pores, leading to acne," she explains. If you've sought expert nutritional advice and have decided to give dairy the boot, beware of hidden traces in foods like salad dressing, protein bars, and shakes. And if you have to go there, stick to skimmed milk. "The hormones are concentrated in the fat, so it's your best option."
