When I was a teen I had awful acne, I tried everything. It haunted me until I was in my twenties. But fast forward many years and during a discussion with a dermatologist we discussed the role of sugar, and he said it is a major factor. Looking back at my teens I was a sugar junkie!
I got married when I was just turnong 20 and of course we had to pay for our own food and sugar was not a priority, so I think that was when it got better. Now even though I am almost 60 I still get an occasional zit, but guess what only when I eat sugar which is not a normal part of my diet anymore. So if I go to a party and give in to the junk, I pay for it the very next day

I still get a little acne, but only when I indulge in sugar. My dermatologist said ther are alot of myths about acne and he said eating fats does not cause it. Overgoing carbs and sugar does. Chocolate will only do it if it is overdone.
