Pumpkins are not just for lattes and carving 🎃⁣⁣ It’s your skin-loving Halloween treat. And it’s a wonderful addition to your diet if you struggle with acne because it’s rich in:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🧡 Zinc & vitamin C - these support collagen production and help calm inflammation linked to acne breakouts⁣⁣
💛 Beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) - helps regulate skin cell turnover and may reduce blocked pores⁣⁣
🧡 Antioxidants (so many of them!) - these fight oxidative stress that can worsen acne⁣⁣
💛 Fibre - a vital tool for gut balance⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Try adding pumpkin to soups, curries, porridge, or even smoothies to give your skin some autumnal acne fighting support 🎃

Stewed apples are packed with prebiotics and polyphenols. These feed the good gut bacteria and calm inflammation, so your gut lining and microbiome stay healthy. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And a happy gut = happy skin. ⁣⁣⁣

Here’s the full breakdown of why stewed apple should be a staple in your household, and step by step details on how to make it (it’s really easy!)

Courgette in a brownie 💚 Trust me you’d never know it was there! But it adds plenty of moisture and nutrients, turning these brownies into a slightly healthier, if not just as more-ish version. The addition of walnuts gives them an extra healthy fats nutrient boost. These were a staple in our house over the summer thanks to an endless supply of courgettes.

Give them a go and let me know what you think 😋

Vitamin D is one of many nutrients that supports skin health. It plays a role in regulating the immune system, calming inflammation, and even supporting the skin’s ability to fight off Cutibacterium acnes (the bacteria linked with breakouts).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So it makes sense that low vitamin D levels have been found in those with severe acne, and that supplementing could therefore be beneficial. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But here’s where it gets controversial… ⁣⁣

⁣⁣
 High-dose supplementation, without checking blood levels, can lead to imbalances in calcium and phosphate metabolism, which may drive inflammation, and indirectly worsen skin issues – including acne flare-ups. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And it’s not always vitamin D that’s the missing piece. In some cases, magnesium can actually be more beneficial, because without enough magnesium we can’t activate vitamin D properly.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When did you last get your vitamin D levels checked? ⁣⁣

Zinc is one of the most researched nutrients for skin health. Studies show it can help reduce acne inflammation and support healing — and people with acne often have lower zinc levels.

But… more isn’t always better.
 High-dose zinc supplements can upset the balance of other essential minerals, especially copper and iron, leading to new problems over time.

Food-first is always safest — foods like oysters, seafood, beef, pumpkin seeds, adzuki beans and cashews.
 Supplements can play a role, but the right form and dose should be tailored to you. My favourite way to assess zinc and mineral status… with a hair mineral analysis test. It’s an affordable and non invasive way to see exactly what your mineral levels have been up to over the last 3 months and how they could be driving your skin problems.

I’m pleased to share that I’ve completed additional specialist training with which qualifies me to safely support those with confirmed or suspected eating disorders 💙

In practice, I often see how skin and gut health concerns can impact someone’s relationship with food. This training provides me with enhanced skills and evidence-based strategies to support clients in a safe and compassionate way, and to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary care team where appropriate.
