How exactly does this occur?

Toxins found in sugar, gluten and alcohol can all cause gut-inflammation, which in turn affects the skin.

Christine Bailey, Nutritional Therapist on behalf of The Harley Medical Group said: “We all long to have clear, glowing and vibrant skin.

"Great skin radiates health and vitality, boosts our self-confidence and often reflects a healthy body within.

 

Thankfully, there are products which can help combat the impact of a poor diet
