Beauty Secrets
Clear Skin
Allergies, blemishes and the food behind both.
Acne is not a hygiene failure and it is not caused by chocolate. It is a combination of oil production, skin cells blocking the pore, bacteria and inflammation - largely driven by hormones and genetics, neither of which anyone chooses.
What helps
A gentle cleanser twice a day - scrubbing harder makes acne worse by damaging the skin barrier. Products labelled non-comedogenic. Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for mild cases, used consistently for at least eight weeks before judging them. And leaving it alone: picking and squeezing is the main cause of the scars people are left with afterwards.
What about food
The evidence is modest but real for two things: high-glycaemic diets and, in some people, dairy - particularly skimmed milk. Chocolate and oily food have far less support than folklore suggests. If you want to experiment, change one thing for eight weeks and watch honestly.
Scarring acne is a medical condition with effective treatment. Waiting it out is the expensive option.
On fairness creams
HealthyWin will not promote skin lightening. Beyond the fact that darker skin needs no correction, many such products - especially unregulated ones - have been found to contain mercury and steroids, which cause lasting damage. Products containing steroids used on the face without supervision are behind a large amount of permanent skin damage in India.
