[Acne] Milk and Sugar: What Finally Cured Me

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Like many people, I've tried everything short of Accutane. What ended up working for me is not eating dairy and severely cutting back on sugar. These two things, BY FAR, have worked better than anything a dermatologist has ever given me, both medication wise and advice wise. They'll say that there is some evidence that diet is linked to acne, but that its not conclusive, but I swear to you antibiotics, nutritional supplements, perfect hygiene, sleep, stress management... nothing worked as good as abstaining from dairy and excess sugar for me. It's not very easy. A real willpower test, but for me it was worth it.The one thing that sort of helped besides dietary changes was fish oil supplements. They didn't help stop acne, but they did help reduce inflammation considerably, which is really helpful if you have cystic acne.Sidenote: when I say abstain from excessive sugar, I mean no soda, no orange juice, no cookies, no snickers, no cake and also no baked potatos (high Glycemic Load foods are the same as high sugar in terms of spiking blood pressure, look it up). I drank water, and had "sweets" like apples with peanut butter (highly underrated snack).I just wanted to give my two cents after fighting acne for the last half decade and finally finding my solution, partially due to this subreddit. Hope this can be of help to some people.
