Frequently Asked Questions about Acne and Diet

People say that diet doesn’t have any connection with acne, and acne is not caused by the foods that you eat. What is the connection between acne and diet?

A. Acne has very strong connection with diet. In fact, your diet can either cause acne to appear in your skin or not.

No matter how you reject the notion that diet and acne are related in some ways, the evidence speaks for itself. Whether diet is a direct or indirect cause for acne, it doesn’t matter. The fact is that your diet can affect your skin condition and it can trigger acne to appear in your skin, whether directly or indirectly.

Q. Can I cure my acne without changing my diet?

A. If you already have a healthy diet, the answer is yes. But, if you don’t have a healthy diet for now, then the answer is no.

Without changing your diet, all your attempts to cure your acne from the outside will fail.
