By now we know that what we eat greatly affects our skin, but there’s still some uncertainty surrounding what the right skin-healthy foods actually are.
To start, you should definitely pass on any sugary foods or refined carbs. Breakouts have been linked to a high glycemic diet. These foods are processed, high in sugar and fat, and are made with white flour and cause your blood sugar to spike. It “triggers a cascade of events that increases hormones and increases sebum, and all this together actually causes acne to flare up,” according to dermatologist Dr. Linda Stein Gold.
Instead, you want to eat colorful fruits and vegetables and lean proteins to keep your blood sugar stable. Some of the best foods for acne and breakouts include berries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, whole grains and cold water fish.
In addition to eating healthy and nutritious meals, Dr. Rachel Nazarian, M.D., a dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group, says that you should also start your day with this acne-fighting drink: Green juice with kale!
