 The acne equation:

 Here is the layman’s version of acne equation:

Chronic, mild inflammation + high blood sugar levels = acne breakouts

Dr Loren Cordain’s paper on “implications for the role of diet in acne” informs us:

Spikes in blood sugar levels cause acne by

1.     increasing sebum production

2.     causing skin cells to regenerate faster

3.     causing skin cells to stick together.

 So, dead skin cells are pushed through skin pores at a faster rate than they can be removed. 

What occurs is dead skin cells are pushed through narrow skin pores in big lumps, instead of single cells, it’s like diverting heavy truck traffic through narrow village roads and of course, traffic congestion are the result.   For your skin, this traffic jam means clogged skin pores.

 
This is a simple explanation on the relationship between food and the incidence of acne.  High GI foods cause the spike in blood sugar levels.  This causes the pancreas to produce insulin to reduce the high levels of blood sugar. The trouble, is large amounts of insulin causes the blood sugar levels to suddenly fall.  The body thinks it’s an emergency and the adrenal glands kick in to produce the male hormone, androgen.   It is this male hormone, that causes the sebum production.

 

Now that you understand the key fundamentals to proactive acne treatment, you can take control of your own cure to achieve the flawless skin you deserve.
