The Negative Effects Of Sugar On Your Skin

The Negative Effects Of Sugar On Your Skin

It is no secret that sugar causes inflammation in our bodies.  Any sign of inflammation will be reflected in the condition of your skin.  In fact, your skin is the first place it will show.

Here is how having sugar in your diet can effect your skin negatively:

Wrinkling:
Sugar will bread down collagen in your skin.  Collagen is your friend, you do not want to break it down.  Collagen depletion is what wrinkling is.

Inflammation:
Sugar is the worst, of all foods, that contribute to the acidic levels in your body which lead to inflammation.  It does this by raising the blood sugar levels that surge and then drop.  The fluctuation is what causes the inflammation.  This inflammation is what causes some people to have a red and rashy look to their skin.  It may also contribute to Rosacea.  

Dehydration:
Did you know that sugar extracts water from your cells?  It does!  Dehydration is the leading cause of dark under-eye circles and an overall dull complexion.
