Role of food's protein on skin health [Ruolo delle proteine alimentari sulla salute della pelle]

Over the past few decades there has been a growing interest among researchers in the influence of diet on skin health.

Finally we suggest the theoretical mechanisms through which this kind of nutritional approach could find a role in acne treatment
