What you eat shows up on your face, and in the case of dairy, it’s rarely good.
Dairy is mucous-forming and difficult to digest (thus, why so many people are lactose intolerant), and sometimes, a side effect of that blow to the digestive system can arrive in the form of cystic acne or hard, painful bumps under the skin.
Milk doesn’t trigger acne or breakouts. It’s the hormones produced by cows that are found in milk that can actually overstimulate oil glands and cause the overproduction of oil.
As cows that give milk are pregnant most of their lives, the natural hormones that occur during pregnancy are found in the milk you drink. The reason that milk products sometimes cause acne is because milk contains hormones that “turn on” oil glands. It is not yet known if hormones injected into cows cause any difference in the level of natural hormones in milk.
AND now comes SUGAR….
Sugar is an inflammatory food and acne is an inflammatory skin condition. Thus, it makes sense that reducing inflammatory foods will reduce inflammation in the body.
There is a difference between added sugars and the sugars that are naturally found in foods such as fruits and vegetables, because of that, including those foods in your day is OK because they add nutrients and nutritious value to your diet. For clear and healthy skin, it’s the processed sugars and simple carbohydrates you want to avoid.
Dietologist often advise you to cut out sugars and dairy for a period of two weeks to see how your skin responds, therefore helping your inner health.
A Beautician can advise on the correct skincare and suitable in -salon treatments and attack “unpleasant guests’ from the outside.
The success of treating acne is not only in getting rid of breakouts that have already appeared, but also in preventing new ones.
Therefore, do not stop skin care immediately after the last inflammation disappears. All professional treatments and care should be continued until the skin condition is stable.
If you repeatedly have issues and are running out of ideas – maybe it is worth a try?
