Now, the internet is filled with millions of blog posts and videos with people telling you how to better take care of the largest organ in your body and suggesting what lotions, cleansers, toners, serums, oils, etc. to have acne free and supple skin. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this information is all good, what many of us tend to forget is that while topical skincare solutions are great, sometimes the problem comes from within. What we eat and drink can also adversely affect the look and texture of our skin &#8211; which means that to have gorgeous skin all year round, you have to also take note of what you put into your body as much as what you put on it.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for foods for clear skin, then you are in the right place.

If you are a teen battling acne right now, keep your skin clean (wash your face twice a day) and ask your parents for some acne medication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not pop your pimples or apply a lot of makeup to your face to try and hide the bumps &#8211; both these options actually make the problem worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increased stress levels<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Studies have shown that increased stress levels lead to an increase in not only sebum production &#8211; which can clog your pores, but also trigger your body into producing hormones that cause acne (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2835898\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17340019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hair styling products <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Have you noticed that every time you get your hair done, your skin ends up breaking out? This is because the oils used in your hair tend to touch your face, seep in, clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Such breakouts are normally common in people with bangs or people with longer hair that touches the sides of their faces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>New or too many skincare products<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Remember that just because a product worked for your friend\/sister\/online influencer doesn\u2019t mean that it will work for you. Stick to what you know works for you. Also, while it is okay to try new products, don\u2019t make it a habit. Not all products mix well with others in your routine and also not all products will work well for your skin type and issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You are dehydrated <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Those people all over the internet telling you to drink more water for clearer skin aren\u2019t lying.
