Acne and Diet

Acne is influenced by a combination of sebum production, bacterial growth, and immune response. High glycemic index foods and sugary processed items can exacerbate acne, while nonfat and skim dairy products may also contribute due to added emulsifiers. Additionally, alcohol is known to worsen rosacea, potentially disrupting sleep and the microbiome. Understanding these connections can lead to more effective skin care strategies.
