Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game3

How can the perfect comfort food when surviving monthly cramps be so bad? Researchers for years have been trying to solve the mystery, does chocolate cause acne? Some can eat the yummy, delectable treat while others simply can not. Therefore, is there a way chocolate and skincare can actually come together in a positive way?

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Okay dolls here is the truth in a beauty nutshell. There is absolutely little to no evidence proving that chocolate causes breakouts. Alright, so what gives? Why do some people eat the coco and wind up as a pie face?

The thing is what has been proven through countless studies is that consuming a high-sugar/high-fat diet can lead to acne. This is because such a diet can increase sebum production thus promoting inflammatory responses within the body. Those responses is what leads to ugly breakouts.

Sebum is a greasy oil that is secreted from the sebaceous glands. We need sebum because it helps to lubricate as well as waterproof our hair and skin. Without sebum our skin and hair would lack moisture and dry out.

As you can see sebum can be good or disastrous. As mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Acne forms when too much sebum is produced. So then, you can begin to see why it is important not to do anything that may increase oil production. Besides watching our diet we would also want to avoid over washing our skin.

If you happen to experience dairy breakouts you may wonder does dairy cause acne in all girls? Acne can occur for a number of reasons and sometimes many ladies do not think of food as being the culprit. More logical reasons always seem to be cosmetics, lack of sleep or even stress. Therefore, what is so wrong with dairy products in the first place? Dairy is fine, but how everyone reacts to it is different.

Does Dairy Cause Acne in All Girls?

It can be tough to give up dairy in order to avoid breakouts. For that would mean no more ice cream, yogurt and cheese can almost sound like a death sentence. However, there are still plenty of other yummy foods that can be consumed that can make the food switch up worth it. One would have to think long and hard whether to continue to experience dairy acne or cut out dairy in exchange for smooth, gorgeous skin.

So then what causes this type of skin issue? Studies indicate that some milk-based products contain hormones from cows. These very cow hormones in some people stimulate the sebaceous glands. As a result, acne is created. Therefore to answer the question at the forefront of this post, no this reaction is not seen in all women. Most will not have to cut out dairy from their diet but it is a good thing to try if acne keeps occurring after indulging in milk-based products.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

It did not take long for us to become huge fans of Draya Michele’s brand Beige and Coco. Her collection is very her and has a rich, luxury feel. One piece that is definitely noteworthy is the Beige and Coco Faux Coat.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Our love for the Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat came about for a number of reasons. For one, it is a piece that can instantly be described as “classic.” If you are looking for a way to add a bit of affluence and extravagance to your wardrobe, a fur coat will accomplish that in seconds. For years, fur coats have been associated with opulence and wealthiness. Think old Hollywood and you will instantly get the picture.

Nevertheless, it is usually the price tag associated with fur coats that is enough to make some go never mind. Also, there’s the amount of cruelty that is linked to production as well as the design processes used by many major brands. Draya Michele is taking the high road with these issues when it comes to her fashions. She commented on her signature coat by stating:

“To FUR or not to FUR… we all wonder about a few things when it comes to fUR… principles and price. When deciding to add FUR to my line, I decided to take the humane way out by designing a Faux FUR coat. It’s stylish, warm and affordable! I hope you all love.”

We have to agree that the coat is stylish and an attention grabber. This particular fur coat comes in different shades, a gorgeous noire tint as well as wine. Therefore, go ahead and indulge a little this winter and look like a true diva in a beautiful faux fur coat!
