The Dangers Of Sugar

October 16, 2018 by Anjali Lobo Leave a Comment

Ever since I started my blog and told people about the possible link between diet, particularly sugar and dairy, and acne, I have got a lot of push back. I have got comments like “People have been eating sugar for hundreds of years. How is it suddenly a problem?”. Then I have also got one sarcastic comment. It was that since I blame food for everything, I should just stop eating.

My blog is not about diet and not eating sugar or any other food. My blog is for people with acne and tips and ways to resolve it. If the diet helps resolve acne, I am going to write about it. I am not forcing anyone to quit eating anything. All I am doing is helping people with acne who are desperate for a solution. All my information is available freely on my blog. People are free to read it or go elsewhere.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne Or Not?

Last week I published a guest post on my site. It was about “6 Foods For Clear Skin”. One of the foods was dark chocolate. Now I know that dark chocolate is full of antioxidants. These antioxidants come from the higher amount of cocoa in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. That mildly bitter taste you get from dark chocolate is because of the 70% ( or higher ) of cocoa in it. Antioxidants are great for you and even better for your skin.

5 Reasons Why You’re Breaking Out!

There’s nothing fair about acne. Absolutely nothing. What I have learned over the years though, is that it is of no use complaining about it. Complaining does absolutely nothing.

The best thing you could do for your skin and yourself is trying to figure out what is causing your acne and fix that. Most of the time we throw various treatments at acne in the hope that something will fix it. This is the same as taking a multivitamin for a fever. It won’t do anything for the fever.

While the multivitamin is actually beneficial for your body, most acne treatments are not. Antibiotics, accutane, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid all have side effects. Some mild, some severe. Keep using these treatments over the years and you could be doing serious damage to your body. The ointments may leave your skin dry and inflamed.

Before we get started how do you find out if your acne is hormonal acne? Here are 2 key points to know if you are dealing with hormonal acne or not.
