What Foods Aggravate Acne?
It might be relieving to learn that foods do not, or very rarely do CAUSE acne. However, certain foods definitely
aggravate acne. For those who are genetically prone to acne, however, many foods can be problematic. Eating a nutritious diet and avoiding foods, beverages & supplements that can imbalance hormones or create inflammation is helpful in clearing acne. I always ask my Acne clients to shop the outside of the grocery store where they find fresh food. Anything coming from a box, a bag, a can, or processed foods will have at least one of the following ingredients, especially soy, which is in almost everything we buy. Eating out and a fast-food diet is also very bad for Acne. Change your diet, use specially formulated home care, and have regular office treatments can and will clear your skin.
