Yet another reason it’s bad for our health to eat late at night…

We’ve always been told that late night snacking is detrimental to our waistlines, however, now it looks like it’s not doing our skin any favours either.

Celebrity dermatologist, Dr Neetu Nirdosh, whose client list includes Kelly Brook and Frieda Pinto, divulged his top skin tips to healthista.com and the revelations were pretty interesting.

Dr. Nirdosh revealed that eating after 7pm is off the menu for him, explaining that “the body needs to release anti-aging hormones for repair at night and eating too late causes it to release insulin which negatively affects skin.”
