Q: Dr. Levitt, what can I do to improve and keep my skin
healthy and avoid acne?
A:The skin is the largest organ of the body and to keep it
healthy, it is important to take good overall care of ourselves.
Diet and nutrition play a key important role as does proper
digestion and elimination. Proper organ function also plays an
integral role in optimal skin health, primarily overall liver health
and kidney function since these are the main organs that eliminate
toxins. Problems with skin health may reflect imbalances on these
organ systems. Again, the skin's well-being is dependent on the
health of the rest of our body.
