Certain foods can promote inflammation throughout the body, potentially triggering acne outbreaks.1

A recent study done on more than 24,000 adults, revealed that diets high in fat (including milk and meat), sugary foods and beverages or a combination of high-fat and high-sugar foods are associated with a higher likelihood of acne. Those with current acne are 54% more likely to consume such a diet compared to those who never had acne.1

High-Glycemic Diets are Associated with Acne
Consuming high-glycemic foods and beverages like white bread, corn flakes, puffed rice, potato chips, white potatoes or fries, doughnuts or other pastries, sugary drinks such as milkshakes, and white rice can lead to acne.
Remember: low-glycemic diet may result in fewer pimples.2

Increased Milk Consumption May Lead to Acne Breakouts
Several studies indicate that increased milk consumption is linked to acne in adolescence, possibly due to the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and natural hormonal components in milk.3
