Whenever I eat lots of chocies/sweets/coffee, I get breakouts on my face. These days I have 2 pimples right between my eyebrows and it sucks, plus lots of tiny garmi danay on my forehead.
Is there any way to get rid of them? I bought a cream by Vichy and it’s supposed to get rid of acne and blemishes in 4 weeks. But I dont want to buy this all the time. Is there an easier/quicker solution to avoid pimples altogether or to get rid of them when they pop up?
As Maddy pointed out, there's no scientific evidence that eating those items causes breakouts.
I HAVE however noticed that if I eat chocolate and afterwards touch my face for one reason or another, I will break out. It's probably from the oils left on my fingers. The key is to avoid touching your face. Also reduce stress, get lots of sleep, drink milk.
My skin is too dry to use a lot of the products for acne but a friend of mine uses Stridex pads and Oxy overnight cream and finds them amazing.
poor hygiene does not cause acne, but a buildup of oil on the skin surface may increase the risk of blocked follicles and allow bacteria to multipy. also role of food as an aggravating factor is thought to be negligible.
in girls the outbreak may be affected by the hormonal fluctuations that occur during the menstrual cycle :p
acne can be cured by avoiding oil-based cosmetics, exposure to sunlight and washing your face twice daily with warm water (not hot water) and a cleanser. Also dont pick on the pimples unless u want to be left with a scarred skin.
^ waht are you talking abt....pimples leave their marks most of the time irrespective of whether you touch them or not...I have some real scars as a result of proliferation of pimples once in my life....
But Hamsa at certain stage, lets say ur late teens and early twenties you can't avoid it, no mater what you eat.
OOh. So I can all the chocolate I want and not get pimples as long as I don't scratch my face while eating them? j/k
My skin is not oily at all and my hygeine is pretty good :P But yea I guess sometimes you cant avoid breakouts in your early twenties. I've started drinking alot of water. I hope that helps.
Ya know, I used to break out alot too, i also had some hormonal issues too..where my period wouldnt come for months..but even then..no matter what I ate..I always broke out around the forehead and chin area. I use Clearasil now, and I havn't had any major break out for about 2 months now, which i think is improvement. Also..yeah..drink plenty of H20. Also..are you really stressed out..because that can cause pimples too. oh..and so does coffee and really spicy desi food, but then again, our systems should be used to it by now..hm.
some people breakout when they have chocolate, coffee, etc., although there is no scientific evidence supporting it. My sis is the same way. Unfortunatley there is no cure for this , as far as i know. My sister has the same issue, and i guess there is nothing else you can do except avoiding the things taht cause u to breakout.
Hey humsa use Goat milk soap It works trust me. At frist I had lots of pimples and I used goat milk soap and gradually all my pimples were gone.. And it is not that expensive lolz...:D
