Dairy: Raw or Not, It's No Good for You   I've been in the skincare game for over 25 years, and in that time, I've helped over 5,000 people address every type of skin issue you can imagine. More often than not, adult acne and other persistent skin conditions are driven by an allergen. And guess what? Fifty percent of the time, dairy is the culprit. Why Dairy is a Problem Dairy is one of the most common food allergens, yet many people don't realize they have a sensitivity to it. Studies show that around 65-70% of the global population has some degree of lactose intolerance, meaning their bodies struggle to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk. Even for those who can digest dairy, it can still trigger inflammation, leading to a host of issues—especially with your skin. What Dairy Does to Your Body and Skin When you consume dairy, it can cause an inflammatory response in the body. Many people experience digestive distress, bloating, and even fatigue. But what does this mean for your skin? Increased Sebum Production – Dairy consumption has been linked to higher levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which increases oil production in the skin, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Hormonal Disruption – Conventional dairy products often contain hormones that can throw your body's natural balance off, leading to acne and other skin issues. Inflammatory Response – If your body perceives dairy as an allergen, it triggers inflammation, which can manifest as redness, eczema, rosacea, and stubborn breakouts.

Plant-Based Alternatives for Dairy's Nutrients If you're worried about missing out on the nutrients found in milk, you don't have to be. Everything you get from dairy—calcium, protein, Vitamin D, and more—can be sourced from plants. Here are some of the best alternatives: Calcium – Found in leafy greens (kale, bok choy, collard greens), almonds, tahini, and fortified plant milks. Protein – Lentils, quinoa, chickpeas, hemp seeds, and almonds are all excellent sources. Vitamin D – Sunlight is the best source, but you can also find Vitamin D in mushrooms and fortified plant-based foods. Healthy Fats – Avocados, nuts, and seeds provide essential fatty acids that support skin health better than dairy ever could. A Salad That's More Nutritious Than a Glass of Milk This nutrient-packed salad delivers more vitamins, minerals, and skin-boosting benefits than any dairy product. Superfood Skin-Glowing Salad Ingredients: 2 cups kale, chopped 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked 1/4 cup almonds, chopped 1/4 cup chickpeas, roasted 1/4 avocado, sliced 1 tbsp hemp seeds 1 tbsp tahini Juice of 1 lemon 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp maple syrup Sea salt and black pepper to taste Instructions: In a large bowl, massage the chopped kale with lemon juice and olive oil until it softens. Add cooked quinoa, almonds, roasted chickpeas, avocado, and hemp seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss to combine, and enjoy! By swapping dairy for plant-based alternatives, you're not only supporting clearer, healthier skin but also giving your body superior nutrition. So next time you reach for that glass of milk—ask yourself: is it really worth it? Joshua Onysko Founder Pangea Organics
