The Effects of Sugar on the Skin

We've all heard the old wives tale that eating too much sugar will make your skin break out. While there is no proof that eating sweets will directly result in your skin breaking out, there is research that shows that eating foods high in sodium and sugars can indirectly affect your skin. If you aren't eating right or drinking enough water, it will show on your skin. I’ve mentioned before that staying fit, eating healthy, and keeping your water intake at a good level will help to keep your skin healthy. It is also very important to take supplements.

I recommend Jan Marini Skin Research C Estamins Nutritional Skin Care Supplements. These are beneficial in helping improve the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin. They help maintain the overall appearance of the skin as well.

I also like Murad Pure Skin Clarifying Supplements, which are helpful with skin breakouts and congestion.

Remember - eating right is not only the key to a healthy body, but healthy skin as well. But eating some sweets every now and then won't kill you.
