We all love food, but we also know that it’s important to keep our diets in check. There are plenty of foods that we know are terrible for our health, and to some extent, we do try to avoid them. Obviously we can’t be eating donuts every day of the week, or drinking milkshakes every other hour. However, there are a couple of foods that most of us don’t know are bad for our skin!

1. White Bread
Wait what? Most of us have likely considered bread to be a pretty normal type of food. While it definitely isn’t healthy, most of us don’t consider it as an unhealthy food. However, research has found that foods such as white bread have pretty high glycemic indexes. Consuming such foods and heavily processed carbs leads to heightened levels in blood sugar and insulin, which is associated with acne!
2. Yogurt
Many of us may regard yogurt as a health food, because of all the live probiotics that aid in digestive issues. However, yogurts come in many shapes and forms, and some contain high amounts of sugar, chemicals and artificial sweeteners. Some people even have intolerances to yogurt! Dairy products in general have been linked to acne, and yogurt is no exception.

3. Coffee
Most of us might consider coffee as an integral part of our daily routines, and might not even think twice about consuming it. However, it is important to know that excessive consumption of coffee can lead to higher levels of stress, which is linked to acne. Furthermore, if your coffee is of poor quality, it can affect your gut microbiome, and lead to inflammation on your skin.
4. Fruits and Vegetables?
To be more specific, produce grown with high levels of pesticides are linked to skin cancer and aging. In supermarkets, most fruits and vegetables are grown on farms that utilize pesticides to ensure the produce is not destroyed by pests. Ideally, we should avoid such produce and opt for organic produce instead.
