… resulting in less acne. Acne and diet do have a major influence on each other. Certain foods have a strengthening effect on the production of sebum by sebaceous glands. As soon as the production of these glands is increased, you will also suffer more from acne. Coffee (caffeine) and dairy also affect these glands.

For most people, a cup of coffee in the morning is very common. The caffeine gives them just the energy boost they need to start the day. The effect of caffeine on the skin is a much-discussed topic, including among experts. The effect of the substance caffeine has partly the same effect as alcohol and salt: it dries out the skin. When the skin, or the body, is not sufficiently hydrated, you will see this reflected in your skin. Acne is not caused by the coffee itself, but it can make existing acne worse. Another connection between coffee and acne is that, in addition to increased alertness, caffeine also leads to a greater stress response throughout the body. Stress reactions cause more stress hormones in your body, such as cortisol. Cortisol increases the amount of fat that the sebaceous glands produce, which has a negative effect on the existing acne on your skin.

There is a link between dairy consumption and acne. Dairy products contain various hormones and substances that trigger acne (or acne-related complaints). Dairy products contain a lot more hormones than you probably think. Growth hormones, such as estrogens, progesterone and androgens (testosterone), always occur in milk. Testosterone is the culprit when it comes to acne. But in addition to testosterone, other hormones can also cause more sebum production, and therefore acne. Dairy and acne therefore do have an influence on each other. By limiting your dairy intake, or even completely stopping it, chances are that sebum production will decrease and you will suffer less from acne.

Do you suffer from an irregular cycle and don't know how to make it more regular? By cutting back on caffeine and dairy or eliminating it altogether, chances are your cycle will become a lot more regular.

It's nice to have regular periods so you know when your period is due. A more stable hormone balance in turn ensures a calmer skin with less acne.
