Irritated Skin

If your skin is highly reactive and prone to irritation, Sass says yogurt and kefir are your solution. "Both are rich in probiotics — 'friendly' bacteria linked to better digestion, immunity, and also a reduction in skin sensitivity and inflammation."

Lactose-intolerant? That's okay, Sass says the same bacteria are used to make soy and coconut milk yogurt, so even if you don't do dairy you can still reap the benefits.
