5 Foods You Should Avoid If You Have Oily Skin

1. Red meat

Beef, lamb and sausages contain a huge amount of saturated fats which cause obesity, heart diseases and inflammation. Moreover, it is the preparation that affects your health and skin more than the meal. So try baking and boiled dishes rather than deep frying them to avoid oily skin and acne problems.

2. Dairy 


Regular consumption of dairy products leads to acne issues. Moreover, such foods also hasten the ageing process. You can get your daily calcium dose from other green leafy vegetables, paneer and tofu.

3. Added sugars


Limit your consumption of soft drinks, fruit punches, jams, jelly, frozen desserts and commercially baked cakes and pastries. These contain added sugars like corn syrup, maltose and cane sugar with high glycemic index which might offset your blood sugar and hormone levels leading to increases in oil production and high incidence of acne and pimples.

4. Salty snacks


A diet high in sodium damages skin health by increasing inflammation. Salty snacks like potato chips and French fries often contain inflammatory trans fats. What to do? Avoid!

5.Enriched flour

Enriched flour is always stripped of its nutrients and fiber content. As a result, enriched cereals, pastas, breads and baked goods digest less efficiently and have a higher impact on your blood sugar leading to increases in oil production in your skin.
