9 Best Foods for Clear Skin (Healthy and Effective!)

Acne is never any fun for anyone. Fortunately, you can eat the best foods for clear skin. Basically, if you eat certain foods, your skin can transform itself thereby becoming less riddled with acne. As the old saying goes, you are what you eat!

While facial acne is the most common form of acne for people to fret over, acne can frequently occur on the neck, back and shoulders as well. Regardless of where you have reoccurring and prevalent acne, eating the right foods can reduce breakouts and better your skin in the long run.

Certain foods raise your blood sugar quickly which results in the body releasing insulin causing more oil on your skin leading to an increased risk of acne. Here are some quick tips:

  • Pasta, white rice, white bread and sugar all cause spikes in insulin. Absolutely steer clear of these foods.
  • Milk has also been linked to acne in some individuals, it is wise to steer clear of milk too.
  • Keep in mind that everyone’s body is unique, what works for one person’s diet and skin may not necessarily work for another.
  • You may have to experiment a little to find out what works for you. Try keeping a journal while you experiment by writing down what you eat and any changes in your skin.
