Dermatologists Say These Are The Best (And Worst) Foods For Your Skin

Limit Your Salt Intake To Avoid Puffy Eyes

Epsom salt baths can help your skin feel soft and invigorated. But consuming salt is a different story. While salt has its health benefits, too much of it may result in diseases like eczema, according to a 2019 study in Science Translational Medicine. High-sodium diets retain water in the body, which may lead to redness and puffiness.

Neal B. Schultz, a dermatologist from New York City, says that salt explicitly impacts the sensitive skin around your eyes. As we grow older, our skin grows thinner, and salt’s puffy effect becomes more apparent. “These effects of salt are definitely age-related,” Dr. Schultz told SHAPE.
