skin sinners

We all have friends who seem to be able to eat as much "bad food" as they like and never suffer from spots. This is generally why people argue that these foods don't cause acne. However, some of us are susceptible to break outs if we eat lots of the food in the left hand column below. Cutting down your intake of these foods will not only help your acne but it will help keep you healthy for life. Try and cut down on the food in the left hand column. You can replace it with food in the right hand column, but try not to rely too much on this sort of food in your diet. Your skin will benefit most from including mostly the food on the skin savers list.
