We're not trying to get preachy, you should be able to eat and drink what you want in life, but the truth is that if your skin is on the fritz, it might be because of something in your diet.
Click through the slideshow to find out the absolute *worst* things you can eat because they cause breakouts, wrinkles, redness and more.
Candy
Sugar may be the reason for all your skincare woes. Studies have shown that it contributes to acne in adolescence. "In countries without diets heavy in processed sugar, kids go through puberty without acne," explains Patricia Farris, MD, dermatologist and author of "The Sugar Detox."
Additionally, processed sugar causes a burst of inflammation throughout the body, which deteriorates collagen and elastin (the stuff that keeps your skin young-looking!). Yikes!
Fast Food
Blame the high glycemic index of fast food for it's negative skincare effects. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that diets high in carbohydrates and processed sugars were associated with acne. Say it ain't so!
Juices and Sodas
High in sugar and low in fiber, these non- hydrating drinks mean more breakouts and wrinkles.
Milk
"Milk can be full of growth hormones and growth factors that remain biologically active even after pasteurization," Valori Treloar, MD, dermatologist and author of "The Clear Skin Diet" told Prevention.
