Protein intake and its effect on skin.

General

From protein shakes to bars and diets — it’s the wellness buzzword.
But what you eat shows up on your skin too.

Adequate protein intake:

  • Boosts collagen (youthful glow)
  • Repairs skin tissue
  • Strengthens hair & nails
  • Maintains elasticity & firmness

Excessive protein intake:

  • Breakouts (especially from whey)
  • Dry, dull complexion
  • Hormonal disruptions
  • Stress on kidneys = stress on skin

Skin needs it - but the right amount

How to Get It Right?

  • Calculate your protein needs.
  • Choose clean, whole sources: lentils, paneer, tofu, eggs.
  • Hydrate more on high-protein diets.
  • Watch for additives in protein powders.

It’s always better to consult a doctor or nutritionist before taking anything. Don’t take these just because someone online suggested it.

Nicely explained.

Consuming adequate amount of proteins to nourish our hairs and nails seems obvious. Collagen is a game changer.

I’ve noticed how having a balanced protein intake improves my skin.
