I'm an adult who still has acne problems. I've been told by two dermatologists that diet absolutely does not affect acne. Of course, they also both said, "if you think there is a food that you think causes breakouts, avoid it." I've read a few articles recently that attribute acne to foods with a high glycemic load, so I've basically been trying to avoid sweet things - chocolate, ice cream, juice, and soda. I also avoid smoked or treated deli meats like roast beef, pastrami, and salami because they can contain iodine, which I've also read can cause breakouts.
What are your experiences with or thoughts about diet and acne?
For people who get acne, do you avoid foods that you think cause pimples and breakouts?
My derma also told me that diet does not affect acne. However, if you have even a mild allergy to some foods, that will show in your skin.
I think it is a good idea to stay away from those foods/drinks that you listed. You may be sensitive to one or more of those , and since most are processed, they aren't that good for your overall health.
Reply:in my experience they didn't make a difference. i was able to clear my acne without changing my diet, and keep the skin clear.
Reply:my experience is that no matter what i cut out of my diet it didnt really make a difference, well not at all. but when i drank excessive amount of water it made a huge difference, but only for a coupla weeks at a time. then my break outs would start back no matter how much water i drank, but my complexion was always much brighter and fresh looking when i drank a lot of water.
Reply:i find that the only thing that aggrevates my acne is when i eat too much sweets and i mean like eggageratedamounts..the rest of the food is fine
Reply:Oily food for me.
Seafood, mostly. I used to eat a whole lot of it, but when I cut down, I noticed my acne dropped a little, too.
Reply:of course it makes a difference! that just goes to show how these 'dermotoligists' have no idea what theyre talking about. the apperence of your skin is always reflected by what you put in your body!you are what you eat!! if i eat any kind of greasy food,sugary or rich food it always shows up on my face the next day that includes things like cheese and white bread sometimes!eat your fruit and veg and drink water it WILL make a difference!
Reply:PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.
GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.
1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .
2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.
3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.
4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.
5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.
9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.
10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.
11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.
12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.
13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.
14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.
15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.
16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.
17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.
Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
Reply:Everyone is different, so it is hard to recommend anything specific that you should avoid, although plenty of water and natural products seem to work for me.
A good friend of mine turned me on to this natural product that you consume daily. She has had great results with it, so I started using it a few weeks ago. It does what it says it is suppose to do.
