Who among us would not like to have beautiful, elastic and clear facial skin?
Girls sometimes spend fortunes on quality cosmetics and salon care, but often overlook one very important aspect - nutrition.
What we eat directly affects both our health and our skin.
Sugar
First on our list is sugar. There are so many debates about its harm to health, many seriously consider sugar to be almost a deadly poison. But in addition to harm to health, it damages the condition of the skin.
It is known that sugar causes inflammation in the body, and as a result, the hated pimples and redness begin to appear.
Another unpleasant effect of excessive sugar consumption is accelerated skin aging.
The fact is that when there is an excess of sugar in the body, glycation processes are triggered, which in turn destroy collagen. Therefore, the skin of those with a sweet tooth quickly loses its elasticity, becomes flabby and dehydrated.
Dairy products
Another product, or rather type of product, that worsens the skin is the beloved dairy product.
This point is a bit controversial, since everything here depends on the specific organism and how well the person tolerates milk.
Many studies have shown that dairy products trigger acne in people who are sensitive to lactose. Milk also contains a hormone called insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1.
This hormone increases the production of sebum, which then leads to clogged pores and inflammation.
So people with acne should review their diet for high levels of dairy products and try to reduce their intake. There is a chance that they could be the cause of their breakouts.
Alcohol
The last product for today is alcohol. It is a faithful friend at many parties, get-togethers and dinners in restaurants.
Alcohol consumption is still a controversial topic. Although everyone has long agreed that drinking too much is bad for your health, there is an opinion that a glass of your favorite wine from time to time is not only not harmful, but also beneficial.
And how does our skin feel about this? Of course, it is worth admitting that from one glass of wine a week you are unlikely to notice any negative changes on your face. But excessive consumption threatens dehydration of the body, and accordingly, the skin.
Dehydrated skin becomes dry, saggy, and loses its elasticity. This leads to wrinkles, an unclear facial contour, and dull skin tone.
It is important to note that we are in no way urging you to immediately give up the above products.
We are simply providing information that may help you find an answer to your problem, if any.
