Abstract

Acne being one of the skin condition that is not deadly but is affecting emotionally and psychologically. Many factors contribute in causing acne and leading it towards severity. Diet is considered as one of the important factor in making acne severe. Foods that are high in glycemic index are thought to aggregate acne severity. Fried items, sugary beverages, pastries etc are considered as food items that may cause acne. Where as many non-diet related factors such as family history, self-hygiene, environmental factors are also held responsible for causing acne. Where unhealthy eating habits promotes acne, healthy diet such as low glycemic index foods, fish consumption, omega 3 fatty acids etc. helps to reduce acne severity and also diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods helps to reduce redness and inflamed pimples.
