Did you know diet can affect your skin? Here are a few ways acne and diet have been linked:

🧁SUGAR & HORMONES- Acne is caused by clogged pores from increased sebum production, dead skin cells and/or bacteria. Hormones often stimulate oil glands. When blood sugar spikes, your body releases a hormone growth factor. This excess growth factor in your blood can cause increased oil production and can lead to acne and inflammation.

🥛MILK- Although cows milk is a low-glycemic drink, some studies found teens and young adults who consumed more cow’s milk had increased acne breakouts compared to those who drank little or no cow’s milk. This was found in all types of cows milk (whole, low-fat and skim). Why? Some of the hormones in milk may trigger an inflammatory response which can contribute to an increase in acne.

🍎 FRUITS/VEG- Eating low glycemic foods such as fruits/veg, steel cut oatmeal, and beans may reduce acne due to decreased spikes in blood sugar. Omega 3s and antioxidants, when consumed together, reduce inflammation and may lead to decreased acne.

🧪 RESEARCH- Although food and diet are important more research is needed to determine the significance between cow’s milk and a high-glycemic diet and increased acne.

🧖🏻‍♀️ CONSISTENCY- In addition to a healthy diet, a consistent skincare routine will help curb breakouts. See your favorite esthetician for the best products for your particular skincare type and use them everyday ❤️
