Pimple triggering Sometimes healthy causes triggers of impure skin

Reasons for bad skin and pimples - even food can be the cause
Most acne occurs during adolescence during puberty. But even in adults, it always comes back to skin problems such as pimples and blackheads. There are enough reasons for bad skin. Diet plays a very important role here. But not only unhealthy foods can cause blemishes.

Not only teens have bad skin
During puberty, pimples and blackheads are common in adolescents. Also acne in adults is relatively common. Affected then often try to use cosmetics or home remedies for pimples and oily skin. However, it usually makes sense to first find the possible causes of the skin problems and then avoid them.

Various reasons for problem skin
The reasons for problem skin are manifold: stress, wrong cosmetic products or hygiene, hormonal dispositions, certain medications or an unhealthy diet can cause pimples and blackheads.

But foods that are considered healthy, can sometimes lead to bad skin. For example, a study by US scientists shows that - supposedly healthy - low-fat products for the skin can be a disadvantage.

The researchers reported that whole milk instead of skimmed milk is better suited to pimples. However, this study can not prove whether skim milk consumption increases susceptibility to acne.

Supposedly healthy foods promote pimples
The fact that low-fat dairy products can be detrimental to the skin is also partly due to the fact that the missing fat is replaced by other flavor carriers such as sugar. This promotes pimples.

Other supposedly healthy foods often contain ingredients that eventually discourage such products.

For example, some of the green smoothies available in the supermarket contain as much sugar as cola.

Especially with finished products should therefore always be paid attention to what is inside. In addition to proper nutrition, sufferers can usually help with various home remedies for acne.

These include, for example, healing earth, tea tree oil and aloe vera. (Ad)
