Acne is one of the most feared skin diseases. And not necessarily for its effects against health, but rather for aesthetic reasons. There are many myths and realities in relation to what things contribute to the development of acne and what things help to combat it, among these are food.
As we have mentioned before, it is possible to take care of your health from the inside by means of a balanced and healthy diet, however, you will surely be surprised when you notice which foods do affect acne and which are harmless for your skin in this aspect.
Foods that DO contribute to the development of acne:
Dairy: Some important studies relate dairy products to acne outbreaks. It is thought that it may be due to the hormones that are often present in milk.
Candies: Cupcakes, candies and other foods that raise sugar levels can also contribute to the development of acne.
Foods that do NOT contribute to the development of acne:
Chocolate: That's right ... against all odds, there is no scientific evidence that chocolate affects the development of acne. On the contrary, chocolate contains antioxidants that help your skin.
Fatty foods: There is no relationship between fatty foods, such as pizza, and the development of skin acne. Obviously not for that reason we are going to neglect the line. Everything with moderation and balance.
Foods that DO help to improve acne cases:
Perhaps the most prominent is Omega-3, present in fish oils and nuts. That is why you should make sure to include them in a balanced way in your diet.
We all already know... good nutrition helps improve overall health. But now you know what foods will not make acne worse and what you can avoid if you do not want an unpleasant outbreak. Obviously each person is different, so make sure you pay attention to what you eat and the effects it may have on your skin.
In addition to food, be sure to periodically clean the skin of your face. Our Tomato Soap cleans the pores at depth and keeps them closed, thus no contaminants that could cause those annoying pimples. #SpoilYourBody
