🔍 4. You Have Frequent Breakouts or Acne
When you eat sugar, it spikes insulin and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) — hormones that:
Increase oil production
Trigger inflammation
Speed up skin cell turnover
This creates the perfect storm for acne — especially on the face, chest, and back.
Multiple studies link high-glycemic diets to increased acne severity.
✅ Fix it:
Cut out sugary drinks and refined carbs. Add skin-supportive foods like:
Fatty fish (rich in omega-3s)
Leafy greens
Berries (packed with antioxidants)
