Does sugar cause acne??? (age-old question)
Thanks, Andrea, for such fascinating insight on the androgens..I notice like,
the week before my period that I get a significant amount of acne on my cheeks
and chin area..it doesn’t matter about sugar intake that much–but I tend to
think that sugar does play some role on acne breakouts.
I asked my doctor about it and he said that acne is caused by diet and
hereditary factors but it’s primarily hormones!
Strange… I thought ance was just a teenage thing, ya know…and here I am,
20 years later, at age 35, still with acne. (sigh*)
My older sister, also suffered acne problems, once pregnant, acne
dissappeared! It was like, her face looked the best ever! And once her son was
born, the acne came back and it’s still there. So I know it is definately
hormonal. Geez….do I have to have to be pregnant to have clear skin? God, I
hope not..what if that never happens, ya know?
I have come to the point in my life where I feel like I have tried soooooo
many products and wasted thousands of dollars, I just feel like giving up on
trying to cover up my acne. But I have become so freakin’ paranoid that I have
to have makeup on my face whenever I leave the house. It’s simpy not fair.
