Including
cheese, milk, and ice-cream etc into your daily meals maybe the reason behind
the painful acne
on your face. Processed milk
and other dairy products negatively affect your skin and trigger the formation
of whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Here's how milk
causes acne and what you can do to get clearer skin.
1.
It is due to
oiliness present in the milk, cause excess secretion of Sebum.
2.
Milk contains a
growth hormone IGF-1 (responsible for the growth and strength of calves) in
large amounts. This has an adverse effect on your skin, and is responsible for
its inflammation, which results in acne. In fact, this hormone can even
increase the size of the acne.
3.
Consumption of
milk and other dairy products also result in a sharp rise in the amount of insulin
present in your body, which initiates more IGF-1 production by the liver,
thereby increasing acne.
4.
Excessive sebum
(oil) is secreted by your skin due to the consumption of milk, which results in
more number of clogged pores, causing an acne breakout. Additionally, an
increase in sebum helps the acne bacteria to grow and breed, which further
causes skin inflammation.
5.
Consumption of
milk can render your skin unable to get rid of dead skin cells, causing more
acne due to clogged pores. This happens as milk sticks dead cells together
inside your pores, interfering with their natural process of falling off.
What can you do
to get acne-free skin?
The best way to
get acne-free skin is by trying to limit your consumption of milk and dairy
products. You can do so in two ways:
1.
Discontinue milk intake: Stop consuming milk and its products completely for
at least 30 days and observe the changes. If your skin improves after 30 days,
you can add small amounts of high-quality dairy, like organic yoghurt, to your diet.
If eliminating milk does not show any positive effects, try observing other
triggers of acne and look for appropriate methods of removing them.
2.
Switch to organic milk products only: If you find it difficult to totally cut
off milk from your diet, try reducing the amount of milk intake and totally
avoid processed milk products. Switching to raw, grass-fed dairy products will
also be beneficial.
What are the
alternatives to milk which can be consumed without harming your skin?
You can also
replace milk with the following products in your diet chart to
prevent the occurrence of acne.
1.
Organic almond
milk without added sugar
2.
Organic coconut
milk containing no artificial sweeteners
3.
Natural coconut
cream
4.
Take milk with
haldi only, as plain milk can cause
Warning: Do not
consume soy milk as a milk substitute as it contains Omega-6 fats, which causes
skin inflammation and swelling of acne. Further, oily and spicy foods, over use
of cosmetics and certain face
creams etc
