Your diet and how it might affect your acne

How the foods you eat affect your acne
There has been no proven scientific research conclusively showing links between your diet and acne related problems. The relationship, if any exists in the first place, is likely to differ from each individual.

However, there are some general guidelines that you can take note of to help ease your acne condition.

Oily/fatty foods

Foods that contain high levels of satured fats may contribute to increased oil secretion and cause pore blockage, leading to acne. Typical foods that contain high amounts of saturated foods include foods of animal origin, such as dairy products, meat and poultry. Do take note that the body requires a certain level of fatty acids so do not cut down too much on intake of fats.

Foods with high salt content

Large amounts of iodine in a diet has shown to have worsened acne conditions in certain sufferers. As such, foods with high levels of iodized salts, such as chips and other salty food should be avoided as much as possible.
