That's not what you think - this culprit seems so innocent.
Skin problems can reach many reasons-stress, go to sleep with a full face makeup and hormonal imbalances (to name a few). But a major contributor to problems such as acne - an inflammatory reaction is the food you eat. As you may have guessed after a chocolate frenzy, is one of the biggest culprits. A less obvious skin saboteur? Dairy.
"Studies show thisdairy can increase insulin levels, which increases the production of hormones producing sebum (oily secretion), which can influence acne, "saysIsabel Smith, MS, Rd, CDN, founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition. "I do not see that in all my clients, but many discover that more dairy consumption increases eruptions."
According toresearch, 85% of Western adolescents will discover acne and the limitation of milk consumption can be one of the solutions. It also goes for adults. "If you find that you have difficulty determining whether dairy or sugar (or something else) is a problem, try to reduce or cut it if it improves," says Smith. "It's the the easiest and cheapest way to test. "
