how to have clean skin

Support clean, healthy skin with gentle skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.

1. Hydration and nutrition: Drink enough water to avoid dehydration, and favor whole or minimally processed foods. Include sources of omega-3 fats such as fatty fish, walnuts, or flax, along with leafy greens and colorful fruits and vegetables. 1 2
2. Sleep, stress, and exercise: Consistent quality sleep and stress management can support skin health and appearance. If you exercise and sweat, wash the sweat off afterward to reduce irritation. 3 4 5
3. Alcohol and caffeine: Limit alcohol, which can negatively affect skin, especially in excess. Caffeine’s effects on skin are mixed; high intake may be associated with oilier skin, but ordinary coffee or tea intake is not clearly harmful. 6 7
4. Gentle skincare and sun protection: Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and avoid over-cleansing; choose a moisturizer suited to your skin, preferably non-comedogenic if you’re acne-prone. Use sunscreen regularly. 8 9 10
