For Dry Skin: What to Avoid

Certain foods can dehydrate your skin or exacerbate dryness. Limit or avoid:\

​

• Salt (can dehydrate and cause water retention)

• Sugary Drinks (can lead to dehydration and worsen skin dryness)

• Coffee (diuretic effect, can contribute to dehydration)

​

Avoiding these can help keep your skin more hydrated and prevent further moisture loss.
