Dr. Lancer says that some of the leading causes of skin inflammation include pollution, stress, UV exposure, genetics, and exposure to chemicals and allergens\u2014cosmetics included. He explains that these elements all trigger a series of reactions in your immune system, and if your body isn&#8217;t strong enough to fight back, this can also lead to an increase in inflamed skin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"experts-in-article noskim py-[24px] px-[40px]\">\n<p>Experts In This Article<\/p>\n<ul class=\"!ml-[18px]\">\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D104860X1561639%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3DSTMSSY-758621%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.lancerskincare.com%252Fmeet-doctor-lancer&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fbest-anti-inflammatory-foods-dry-skin%2F&amp;event_type=click\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.lancerskincare.com\/meet-doctor-lancer\" data-type=\"affiliateLink\" data-aff-intermediate=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=104860X1561639&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=STMSSY-758621&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lancerskincare.com%2Fmeet-doctor-lancer\">Harold Lancer, MD<\/a>, board-certified dermatologist, fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, founder of Lancer Glow. <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<hr\/><\/div>\n<h2>The consequences of letting inflammation go untreated<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t treat the skin properly with anti-inflammatory topical medication or ingredients, the skin will continue to react, itch, and be impaired causing discomfort and even pain in severe cases,\u201d Dr. Lancer says. \u201cInflammation also leads to breakdown in collagen, elastin, and hyperpigmentation causing visible unwanted damage.\u201d However, Dr. Lancer is a firm believer in going beyond topical treatments to restore your glow for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiet is key in preventing flare-ups in those who are genetically sensitive,\u201d says Dr. Lancer, who adds that avoiding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/inflammation-index-of-foods\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/inflammation-index-of-foods\/\">inflammatory foods<\/a>, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/inflammatory-foods-anxiety\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/inflammatory-foods-anxiety\/\">added or refined sugar, ultra-processed foods, and industrial oils<\/a>, will help keep the skin healthy and reduce the triggers that cause the inflammation process. &#8220;There\u2019s no magic pill here,&#8221; Dr. Lancer says. &#8220;Eat the good stuff, leave out the junk.

If you\u2019re averse to eating greens, Dr. Lancer recommends drinking them instead by making or purchasing green juices or smoothies.<\/p>\n<h3>Salmon, sardines, and other Omega 3-rich fish<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Lancer says that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/omega-3-benefits-for-skin\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/omega-3-benefits-for-skin\/\">omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for improving skin health<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/omega-3-deficiency\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/omega-3-deficiency\/\">boosting your body\u2019s total immunity<\/a>.

Along with omega-3-rich foods, Dr. Lancer often opts for chicken and loves a grilled chicken salad when looking for an anti-inflammatory meal while dining out.
