Sugar is your skin's worst enemy

Sugar is your skin’s worst enemy

The Ultimate Enemy:

Refined sugar is your skin’s arch nemesis. Found in food like candy, soda and cookies, your afternoon sweet tooth may be costing you more that an extra 20 minutes at the gym.

Refined sugars spike your sugar levels, which our body combats by increasing its production of insulin and hormones. Shifting your body into overdrive, these hormones trigger your sebaceous glands, a small oil producing gland, resulting in blocked pores and inflammation.

Reach for a natural boost of sugar found in dried fruits to keep your sugar levels normal and your sweet tooth satisfied.
