Dear Pooja, I am in school and have developed a lot of acne -pimples of all sizes. They are in my face and forehead and nose. Of late, I noticed very visible blackheads too... I am too young for facials etc says my mother. What should I do? It is tough to stay away from fried foods. And I love sweets and burgers etc. Will stopping to eat these foods make a difference to my skin? Are there any food items that can help acne prone skin? Please help. -Amolika Aggarwala
As I always say `You are what you eat' thus if you want radiant skin you have to change what and how much you put into your tummy. Face creams, soaps, treatments works only on the superficial skin -which is constantly replaced with by fresh younger skin and this skin is a product of a steady supply of micronutrients that is essential to support this rapid growth.
You get pimples when the pores in your skin get blocked. Your pores get blocked when the sebaceous or oil glands get inflamed. Foods with high sugar content or fried foods have been clearly shown by several studies that they increase this inflammation thus causing blocked pores, pimples, blackheads and pig mentation. Learn to eat fresher, home cooked meals on a daily basis. You must include at least two to three servings of fruit daily, three-four servings of vegetables that you can include as salads, soups, veggie juice or stuffed in roti or mixed up in your rice as pulao. Water intake is another important ingredi ent for good skin. Drink at least 8-10 glasses daily so that your kidney washes out all the tox ins and skin doesn't have to bear any burnt for the same.
Adequate sleep is also anoth er essential for skin that glows and shines. And I repeat every 35 days your skin replaces itself and your body makes these new cells from the food you eat. What you eat literally becomes you. You have a choice in what you're made of. Eat wisely.
