Hi guys, I wanted to write this post because I know that many of us struggle with acne. In many cases you can not find the source of acne, but I can tell you, your diet plays an important role
Here is a list of 5 foods that I have taken from my diet and I noticed a big difference in my skin. I must say that I have also made some changes in my skin care routine, if you want to know my cleaning routine, let me know in the comments.
MILK: Most research concludes that milk products AGGRAVATE your acne due to the hormones found in milk. Milk contains androgen hormones. Testosterone is an androgenic hormone, and is related to the development of acne, people thin it is a male hormone but women also produce this hormone, albeit in smaller amounts. Testosterone, through a complicated chain reaction, creates dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT stimulates the sebaceous glands, creating a more oily skin that is more prone to blockages of pores and, ultimately, pimples. spanish source
CHOCOLATE WITH MILK: The delicious chocolate that most of us love. I have good and bad news. Dark chocolate, chocolate with more percentage of cocoa is the best for people with acne but if it is a chocolate with a lot of sugar and milk, then I will tell you that you will have a lot of inflammation on your skin.
THE WHEAT FLOUR: it's the worst because we love cakes, cookies, pasta, bread, PIZZA oh my GOD pizza. With this I do not want to tell you that you are going to stop eating all this, but you must lower the ingestion. take it out of your diet for 1 month and then start to take it 1-2 times per month. You can eat a pizza or slice of chocolate cake without guilt. Wheat can inflame your acne, as well as cause intestinal problems if it is consumed very often. I recommend eating more vegetables and fruits.
RED MEAT: Animal proteins are not easily digested, compared to vegetables. The residual products that remain after their digestion can be released through the skin and as a consequence, make acne sprout.

SODA: These foods contain a large amount of preservatives and additives that are not at all suitable for your skin, they contain toxins that can cause acne outbreaks. Artificial sweeteners can also be dangerous for an acne-prone skin.
