Did you know that sugar can negatively impact the appearance of your skin?

Eating too many foods with a high glycemic (sugar) index can lead to inflammation in the body, which affects the skin. Excess sugar can flair skin conditions such as acne, eczema and accelerate the visible signs of aging.

Consuming a diet with a high sugar intake can accelerate the development of wrinkles and fine lines through a process called glycation. When processed and artificial sugar enters our bloodstream, it can attach to collagen and elastin proteins in the skin and break them down. Resulting in the skin losing its elasticity and wrinkles formation.

In addition to these effects, foods with a high glycemic (sugar) index can also cause oil production and inflammation, leading to acne breakouts through the spike in your blood sugar activating hormones in the body that stimulate oil production in the skin. We need this naturally produced oil called sebum to help keep the skin stay moisturized. However, too much oil on the skin can cause your pores to become clogged.

Derm tip: to minimize the negative impact sugar has on your body stick to a healthy well-balanced diet, especially If you are prone to inflammation. Of course, everything in moderation but for your best skin health limit the amount of sugar you consume.
