Iodine encourages detoxification in our bodies, thus preventing chemicals like chlorine etc. from harming the thyroid functionality. Iodine deficiency can have adverse effects on our bodies and skin. Apart from regulating skin's moisture levels, iodine also aids healing of scars, cuts etc. Basically, it helps in skin repair. It helps in regeneration of the lower layers of your skin by triggering cellular function. This results into complete rejuvenation of your skin and hair and nails! Iodine also helps regulate the hormones that are responsible for acne breakouts.
Consuming foods rich in iodine will prevent iodine deficiency, which is extremely common and often ignored. We recommend eating foods that have iodine as a naturally occurring substance as opposed to taking supplements; you can do so only when an expert asks you to. Consult with your physician / skin expert as to how much of iodine is essential for your daily intake and incorporate foods rich in iodine in your diet. Here are some foods that contain iodine...

Opt for iodized salt over regular salt if your diet doesn't contain foods that are rich in iodine. If you're already eating iodine-rich foods, this can be skipped. You can also try sea salt, which contains small amounts of iodine! Iodine is not just a boon to your skin but supports your entire body's well-being by regulating the thyroid and your body's metabolism. So, we suggest you get checked for its deficiency ASAP!
