Lifestyle Tips for Acne Prevention
#1. avoid starving
Regularly starving leads to insulin resistance.
This causes an increase in free testosterone, which then increases oil production.
Oily skin is prone to acne breakouts.
#2. limit carbohydrates
Carbohydrates lead to quick spikes in glucose, which increases inflammation
Pair carbohydrates with vegetables and proteins to avoid glucose spikes.
#3. last meal 3 hours prior to bedtime
Eating right before bed leads to glucose spikes, furthering overall inflammation
When sleeping, we are not using up much glucose.
#4. Regular exercise
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, which prevents glucose spikes.
It can also improve blood flow and help unclog pores.
Decreased stress leads to lower inflammation, and balanced hormone levels.
