Worst Foods for Your Skin
1. Sugar: eating sugar is problematic since it increases insulin levels leading to inflammation and aging. Sugar can also cause a loss of the elastic resilience of young skin which can lead to wrinkles and stiff, inflexible skin. A diet high in sugar can also create acne problems.
2. Alcohol: tends to dry out your skin and may cause an expansion of your blood vessels leading to red spots and itchiness.
3. Foods with trans and saturated fats: you should avoid all trans-fats (labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils) and minimize saturated fat intake not only for your health but also for your skin. These ingredients can produce harmful byproducts for the skin as well as cause inflammation and wrinkles.
