That extra sugar doesn’t just satisfy your cravings - it can show up on your skin too. ✨
Over time, excess sugar can contribute to a process called glycation, where sugar binds to collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and healthy. This may lead to dullness, reduced elasticity, and signs of premature ageing. It can also increase inflammation, making breakouts and uneven skin texture more likely.
You don’t have to eliminate sugar completely. A balanced diet, good hydration, and a consistent skincare routine can go a long way in supporting healthier skin from within.
