[Skin Concern] Does cutting out dairy actually help clear skin?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I would describe myself pretty lucky in the whole skin department. I've generally had clear skin my entire life (23 yo) which I am so thankful for but I've also just loved skincare and having a full routine to keep my skin healthy! But this past month has been brutal and I've experienced breakouts that I've never had before. I recently got a facial and she was telling me that my breakouts were in the middle of diet prone and hormone prone problem areas which is in the middle of my cheek, so it got me thinking. Hormonal, would make sense if I was on my period, but I wasn't and I haven't broken out this bad ever due to my cycle. So it left me to think about my diet, and though I haven't changed anything in it I did notice a pattern. Earlier this month, I had a slice of pizza from Costco (I love costco pizza 😭) and then my skin broke out the next day, but I thought it was from stress. It took me a few weeks to clear it up significantly, but it still left me with some dark spots. Then a few days ago, I had a slice again and even made the joke to my mom "let's see if my skin breaks out" and BOOM! The next day, my breakouts that I had healed came back and even worse, much more red and swollen! I'm certain it's from the pizza, could be oil or dairy, probably both, which makes me so sad because pizza in general is probably one of my most favorite comfort foods and the thought of having to give it up hurts me but I am truly wondering and now asking, does cutting out dairy truly help? If not permanently, then how long?
