 | | 6 / 10 5. High-carb diet
Consuming a lot of carbohydrates as part of your daily diet won't do your skin any favors: A 2008 Australian study suggested a link between eating carbs with a high-glycemic index (think sugary snacks and junk food) and the severity of acne. Those who ate low-glycemic foods were found to have less severe acne, according to the study.
Spot-busting tip: It's not about banning all carbs, but about choosing the right carbs. Good carbohydrates to eat are fresh fruits and veggies (which are loaded with nutrients and anti-oxidants) and well as fiber-rich whole cereal grains, beans and nuts. Avoid processed carbohydrates including refined grains, white bread, sugary sodas, candies, and baked goods like cookies.
