The Holiday’s are here and that means more available sugary treats. Unfortunately, high glycemic foods cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. In response, the body releases insulin to manage the higher glucose load. What can happen with a higher insulin level as also an increase in the androgen levels. Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. When too much oil is produced, it can lead to clogged pores and more chance for the acne causing bacteria to flourish. So, more breakouts. Try to keep this in mind when surrounded by all the tempting goodies!
