Treatment Options for Acne

Have a Low-glycemic Diet

Eating high-glycemic foods would raise the levels of insulin, thus increasing sebum production and leading to acne breakouts. These include sugary beverages, white bread, candies, pastries, doughnuts, cakes, sugary cereals, and processed foods. Instead, you should go for low-glycemic foods such as nuts, legumes, veggies, fruits, and minimally processed or whole grains. This would allow for considerable improvement in your insulin sensitivity and acne compared to those people who consume carbohydrate-dense foods. [7]
