How Sugar Affects Your Skin
We get it—holiday treats are irresistible. But too much sugar can do more than impact your waistline—it can show up on your skin too.
Here’s how sugar affects your skin and what to do about it:
Breakouts & Inflammation:
Sugar spikes insulin levels, triggering inflammation, which can lead to acne flare-ups.
Collagen Breakdown:
Excess sugar causes glycation, a process that damages collagen and elastin, making skin sag and age faster.
Increased Oil Production:
High sugar intake can disrupt hormones, leading to excess oil production and clogged pores.
Tip: Balance your sweet treats with antioxidant-rich foods like berries and green tea. Your skin will thank you!
