Will eating garlic cause acne?

Garlic is a food that we often encounter in our diet. Some people like to eat it very much, while others don’t like to eat it at all. It is well known that garlic has certain medicinal effects. Eating a few cloves a day can help prevent diseases. However, since garlic tastes strong and spicy, many people worry that eating garlic will cause acne. This question is not absolute. It is related to the nature of each person's skin. Some people will not grow even if they eat a lot.

Generally speaking, eating garlic will not cause acne, but some people may develop acne due to skin and physical allergies. If you have acne, it is not suitable for you to eat raw garlic. You should eat less spicy food, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more water. Pay attention to adjusting the digestive tract function. Poor digestive tract function can make acne worse. Therefore, you should keep your bowels open to help excrete dampness, heat and toxins. At the same time, eat more coarse grains and fiber-rich foods, such as celery, beans, loofah, cabbage, etc.

Acne is mostly caused by two reasons:

One reason is that the skin is oily, the sebaceous glands are overdeveloped, and the sebum secretion is excessive. If the pores are clogged or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate in the pores, causing bulges and pimples.

Another reason is that the imbalance of hormone secretion in the body causes acne on the skin. This cause is more common during adolescence. Imbalance in hormone secretion can also indirectly cause excessive sebum secretion, further aggravating the acne condition.

[Simple version]:

If you suffer from acne, you should wash your face frequently with warm water and sulfur-containing soap several times a day to reduce oiliness of the skin. The skin's greasiness decreases, and the chances of dust and other dirt falling on the skin being sticky are also reduced, which can effectively prevent the blockage of the sebaceous glands and secondary infection of bacteria.

In addition, do not squeeze acne with your hands, do not use oily cosmetics, do not apply external ointments casually, do not use external ointments such as dihydrotestosterone, Felocell Cream, and Enfu Cream, otherwise it will cause steroid-induced acne, and do not use bromine or iodine drugs, otherwise it will cause wart-like papules and proliferative acne.

Eat less fat and sugary foods, less fried foods and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and peppers, eat more fruits and vegetables, and prevent constipation and indigestion. These are all helpful in alleviating acne.

Most of the acne is caused by the imbalance of some parts of the body. If you eat garlic during this period, it will have an impact, especially for many people with oily skin. The greasy secretions on the face and eating more garlic will make you sweat easily, which will cause the pores to be clogged. It is recommended that you do not eat spicy food. Foods such as onions, ginger, and garlic are most likely to cause acne. You should avoid dry skin and take good care of your skin.
