Acne Diet! What to eat and what to not.

Well! First thing, the diet. Yes, we cannot deny the fact that what we eat affects our skin. After all, you are what you eat. Therefore, I will be showing you a list of what you should and should not eat.
You should avoid these foods at all costs, no matter what:

2      1-     Food with high rates of saturated fats. As you should know not all oils are bad for you, there are good fats as well like olive oil, and since the oil glands on our faces just extract the oil we eat, oils that can clog your pores will go eventually to your pores
2      2-     Food with high sodium levels. Although there is no proof that sodium can lead to acne formation , it is better to stay away from it since it can cause you a buffy face and dark circles
3      3-     Sugary food. Yes, sugar contributes in acne formation. Why? Well, that is a way long story.
4      4-     Spicy food. You should limit your intake of spice since spicy food can be irritant to your skin and can cause pimples.
5      5-     Caffeine beverages.
6      6-     Processed and fast food.

On the contrary, there are foods that can help relief acne:

1      1-     Drink green tea every day three times a day. They are packed with antioxidants
2      2-     Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. They contain a lot of fibers and vitamins that are good for your skin and your body.
2      3-     Drink eight glasses of water every day. It helps flush out the toxins.
