How A Nutritionist Can Help You Clear Your Acne Naturally

Acne is often treated as a surface-level problem, with skincare products and medications as the go-to solutions. However, what a lot of people don’t realise is that skin health is usually connected to an internal issue that requires a holistic approach. What you eat, how your gut functions, and how your hormones act should all be considered if your skin is breaking out.

Before jumping on the next TikTok skincare trend or the latest cream, maybe think about addressing the root cause of your acne. A nutritionist who specialises in skin health can help you solve and figure out what is causing your acne. Here’s how working with a skin-focused nutritionist can transform your approach to acne.

Identifying the root causes of acne:

The first step a nutritionist will make is identifying the root causes of your skin concern, this will be done on your presenting signs and symptoms and through appropriate testing. Some common causes are:

• Hormonal imbalances

• Blood sugar dysregulation

• Poor gut heath

• Poor Liver function

• Nutrient deficiencies

Creating a personalised Nutrition plan

Once we have identified the root cause of your acne, through your signs and symptoms and appropriate testing, a nutritionist will create a customised treatment plan that focuses on addressing the root cause. This is when your diet and lifestyle will be assessed, everything will be tailored to fit your needs and skin/health goals.

Choosing the right supplement

While whole foods and a balanced diet are the foundation of clear skin and good health, supplements can provide extra support and essentially speed up the process. A nutritionist can recommend practitioner grade supplements at the correct doses based on your needs.

Supporting lifestyle changes

Beyond diet, a nutritionist can help you incorporate lifestyle changes that make a big difference to your skin health, such as managing stress, optimising sleep, and increasing movement. Even self care practises like meditation and dry body brushing.

Healing acne naturally is not a quick fix, but with the right guidance, it’s completely possible. A nutritionist will provide ongoing support, adjustment to your plan and encouragement so you can stay on track and see real, lasting results.
