Common Myths About Acne
Many people assume that acne is caused by puberty, and it would heal naturally when you grow older. It is actually a false assumption because acne does not really relate to age. Acne is caused by not enough cleansing. However, excessive cleansing is also a factor that causes acne. Greasy and spicy food would cause breakouts. This idea is not fully correct because any food that contains a great amount of sugar, oil, and dairy may cause skin to have acne. Makeup would make acne worse. As long as the products do not contain any irritating ingredient, it is safe to use and would not cause breakout. To pop the pimple by yourself would speed up the healing process. Wrong! Popping it by yourself may cause infection and inflammation due to poor hygiene and incorrect methods.
Worst Foods for Acne
Dairy: such as milk, cheese, and cream would irritate the skin to produce oil and lead to inflammation.
Food with excessive sugar: soft drinks, desserts, and candies may disrupt hormone balance, cause blockage of pores, and finally end up in acne.
Greasy food with excessive oil: Such as fried chicken, barbeque and French fries all contain excessive unsaturated fatty acid, which would cause the skin to have inflammation.
Best Foods for Acne
Food with rich Vitamin A: Vitamin A could boost the growth of epithelial cells,which can adjust sweat glands and prevent acne. E.g. animal liver, carrots, leek, and spinach.
Food with rich Vitamin B2: Vitamin B2 could protect skin barrier, balance hormones. E.g. animal livers, vegetables, and eggs.
