What Foods Are Bad For Acne?

By Stewart Hare

This is a follow up to my ‘what foods are good for acne’ article.

I constantly get asked ‘what foods are good for acne?’ or ‘what foods are bad for acne?’

Now, as stated in the ‘what foods are good for acne’ article, there is no conclusive evidence which proves that poor nutrition causes acne but I do believe that good nutrition can help to reduce acne.

In this article I am going to discuss which foods to exclude or decrease in your diet to reduce your acne.

Teenagers tend to suffer more from acne due to changes in their hormones at this time in their life.

Acne does not just affect teenagers; it is also common in adults too.

Over production of sebum by the sebaceous glands blocks pores within the skin causing infection which results in acne.

Acne typically affects these parts of the body:

The FaceThe BackThe ChestThe GroinThe Buttocks
So, What Foods Are Bad For Acne?

Well, ‘fast’ or ‘junk’ foods tend to be the main culprit when it comes down to acne. Foods such as:

BurgersChocolatesFrench FriesSalted SnacksSoft Drinks
Why Are Fast Foods Bad For Acne?

It is all down to what fast foods tend to have a high content of… saturated fats and sugar.

As stated earlier in this article, there is no evidence that proves that poor nutrition is the cause of acne.

But, it is also generally agreed, that ‘fast’ foods tend to be consumed instead of more healthier alternatives such as:

Brewer’s YeastDairy ProductsDried BeansEggsGarlicGreen leafy VegetablesMustardNutsOily FishOnionsPulses Pumpkin SeedsRed MeatSeafood SeedsTofuWhole Grain Cereal
The lack of the consumption of these healthier foods, which tend to promote good skin health, for the consumption of ‘fast’ foods, will natural result in poor skin health and acne.

So, to sum up…

To help to reduce acne, eat healthier foods which tend to promote healthy skin and refrain from eating ‘fast’ or ‘junk’ foods such as:

BurgersChocolatesFrench FriesSalted SnacksSoft Drinks
