Skin care doesn't end with what you put on your face, and dermatologists say that what you put into your body can be just as important. Processed foods such as dairy products and white bread can cause acne, which is why it is important to pay extra attention to your diet.
Acne can be caused by your diet and diet, especially if you do not control the amount of dairy products and carbohydrates you eat.
Processed foods
Processed foods such as dairy products, white bread and sugar-rich foods can increase their appearance, experts say. Food allergies can also cause acne.
Dairy products
Dairy products, especially cow's milk products, can cause pimples. Namely, the content of hormones in milk could be to blame for that.
Dairy products are also commonly sensitive foods for many because 68 percent of the world's people are lactose intolerant. According to a 2010 study published in the Science of the Total Environment, mild food allergies and sensitivities can manifest as acne and inflammation, writes klix.ba.
Sweetened Drinks and Fast Foods
The American Academy of Dermatology states that sweetened foods and beverages can cause a rise in blood sugar, creating a hormonal response that manifests itself through acne.
White bread can cause acne because it is a food with a high glycemic index, which means that it causes a rapid rise in blood sugar levels in the body. This leads to an increase in sebaceous glands, higher production of sebum (oil) and eventually to a higher appearance of acne.
Whey protein
It is known that protein, which is usually found in protein powders, causes acne when consumed in excessive amounts.
Similar to white bread, whey protein is a food with a high glycemic index that increases blood sugar levels in the body, leading to a greater accumulation of oil that can clog pores.
