Go Against the Grain to Improve Your Skin

We all lead busy lives with lots of nagging worries that distract us from paying attention to the more subtle messages that our bodies often give us. Your skin is one of your body's most important messengers, and the condition of your skin will often reflect your stress levels, dietary issues or inner health.

You may notice and respond to the more obvious messages like a sudden acne or rosacea breakout, but if your diet has been the same for many years, you may have accepted your dry skin, fine lines or redness as normal, when in fact your body has been sitting quietly at the back of the class with its hand raised, waiting for you to answer.

A good way to determine if your skin really is in its prime condition is to make some small dietary adjustments for a fortnight or so, and take a few minutes each day to pay proper attention to the way your skin is reacting (and if it reacts well, keep up with the changes!). There is a growing realisation in the community that sugar is no good for you, however another food worth avoiding in your quest for better skin is grains.

It's one of the harder things to avoid in our current society, where bread, cakes, pasta and rice dominate the landscape of available foodstuffs and grain derivatives lurk hidden in the ingredient lists of processed foods, however many people are finding that their skin, health and energy levels are all improved once they stop eating grains.

Why is this the case? Grains contain Phytic Acid, which blocks the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper. Your body needs these minerals to function optimally, and if you're taking supplements but still eating grains, then you may not be receiving the benefits you were hoping for.

A lot of grains also contain gluten, which can damage the microvilli in your small intestine, decreasing your ability to absorb nutrients and causing your intestinal walls to become leaky. This can create many unwanted digestive symptoms.

Another issue is the spike in insulin production that grains cause. The production of insulin is important for processing glucose and storing nutrients, however with the high levels of carbohydrates that we consume these days, our bodies can't cope with the insulin requirement. (This process also leads to a build-up of fat in your stores, if you need any more incentive to kick grains to the curb!)

All of these aspects affect your complexion, as the body uses the skin to release built-up waste (via breakouts) and when being fed with grains, struggles to find the necessary nutrients and minerals to keep it in prime condition. So we end up with dryness, more fine lines, pimples, redness or dermatitis, or even that dreaded phrase from friends, family or colleagues: Oh, you look so tired!

So do your skin a favour and experiment with your diet. Try removing grains and see what happens. There are plenty of resources and recipes on the internet if you're unsure what to eat instead of your sandwich or fried rice; a good place to start is to simply google for recipes from the paleo or low carb communities. But importantly, listen to your own skin and make the changes that it needs.

Benefits

  • Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How MSM Supports an Active, Healthy Lifestyle

  • Joint & Mobility Support: Provides essential sulfur for maintaining joint comfort and flexibility.

  • Skin, Hair & Nail Nourishment: Helps protect collagen and contributes to stronger, more resilient hair and nails.

  • Post-Exercise Recovery: Assists in muscle and tissue support after workouts to help you feel refreshed.

Many people who include MSM in their daily routine report feeling more comfortable and active.

Active Ingredient

  • 100% MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – A bioavailable, ultra-pure form of sulfur that supports joints, skin, and connective tissue.

  • Packaged in Australia from imported ingredients. Vegan, gluten-free, and free from additives or anti-caking agents.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take ¼–½ teaspoon daily (or 1–2 capsules) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 1 teaspoon daily (or up to 6 capsules), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, just lower your dose and gradually increase it. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM with Magnesium

MSM and Magnesium also work together to support muscle recovery, joint health, and overall well-being. MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.

How to add MSM to your daily Routine

MSM has a naturally strong taste that some people find bitter, but it can be easily blended with other flavors to make it more enjoyable. Here are some simple ways to incorporate it into your routine:

  • Morning Smoothie: Blend into your favorite smoothie with fruits and greens for a nutritional boost.
  • Refreshing Detox Drink: Stir into warm lemon water to start your morning feeling refreshed.
  • Daily Wellness Blend: Add to your collagen supplement or protein shake to support overall well-being.
  • Post-Workout Support: Mix into a recovery drink to complement your fitness routine.
  • Herbal Tea Addition: Pair with chamomile or ginger tea as part of your evening wind-down.
  • Beauty Tonic: Combine with aloe vera juice as part of your skin, hair, and nail care routine.
  • Pre-Workout Hydration: Stir into your electrolyte drink before exercise.
  • Bone Broth Infusion: Add to bone broth for an extra source of naturally occurring sulfur.
  • DIY Face Mask: Mix with water for a topical application—always patch test and consult a dermatologist if unsure.
  • Daily Ritual: Pair with turmeric and ginger as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Finding a way to take MSM that works for you makes it easier to enjoy the benefits daily.
