HOW DOES SUGAR AFFECT YOUR SKIN?

There’s no denying that many of us love to add sugary food in our menu, quite often.

While the sweet stuff may taste delicious, it can also cause a lot of problems to your body; and that includes our skin.

Sugar intake increases the insulin level in our body. High insulin levels can lead to inflammation in the skin. This disturbance can encourage conditions like acne, psoriasis, rosacea and general break outs. Yes, this may be why you notice those nasty little pimples popping up after a cheeky sugar feast.

Moreover, sugar is also linked to breaking down the collagen and elastin in your skin, accelerating the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Yes, they may also contribute to the ageing of the skin.

So, yes! It is highly recommended to limit your sugar intake to help control the negative impact on your skin and body.
