My friend started to break out because of sushi. And i know that fried stuff also contributes to pimples, right?

Can someone let me know what foods give you pimples and acne?

Also, if you have oily skin, and you use oil paper, will that also lessen pimples?

Thank you!

[ezone8300]

definitely oily and fried food is the main caused of pimple/acne....avoid it as much as possible....

[saigono_heartbreak]

what i heard food thats rich in Iron also cost Pimples.... but Dermatologists said that theres no such thing as Food causing pimple... thats what i heard i maybe wrong though...

[hwong1984]

I also heard that if you eat spicy food that gives you pimple but dont know if that is true...i get a 50/50 answer on this topic....

[MadHatter]

lol people has diffrent skin and diffrent reactions towards food.

for me chocolate, chips, oreo cookies, peanuts, and eatting too much red meat gives me pimples, probably more but i dont remember on the top of my head.

if you have an oily face in general i dont think eatting anything would really be a diffrence.

[chungmaster]

i think it's a asian taboo to say that chocolate, spicy, fried food cause acne because i grew up hearing that from family and friends. but the dermatologists also say that there are no food that cause pimples.

[ayemei]

fast food, chocolate, spicy food, mostly junk food causes pimple and acne

[strider_h]

There have been studies donw and proven that your diet unless you are allergic to something doesnt affect your likelyhood of getting pimples. Other factors are more important like cleanliness, stress, hormones.

Eating choclate and oily food is a myth its a proven fact.

my fren told me that eating one peanut will cause 3 pimples!

i think your friend heard it superstitious wise, there is no way in justifying how many pimples you get by eatting a particular food. so your saying if i eat a cup cake i get 4 pimples and if i ate a crakcer i get 2 pimples and so on right? then man...we would be counting pimples like we count calories shouldn't we?

[xrach91x]

Ive been told that chocolate cant give you spots =S
Umm well what I know of is fried food is commonly known and sometimes spicy food because they can irritate your skin sometimes.
Plus keep your face clean, oil can trap your skin from breathing so yano xD!!~

[choColatebite]

fried thing, choclate, and i usually get more pimples if i eat stuff with a lot of stock...
chips, nut..

[dandan82698]

Anything that the Chinese says is "hot-air" will cause pimples. Lack of water, lack of sleep, stress, PMS, when you consume a large amount of durian or lychee. Dirty pillow cases. For people with acne problems, it is recommended to change pillow case every day, or at least put a towel on your pillow and change the towel everyday. Also, invest in a good makeup remover and a face cleansing ritual. make sure skin is never too dry after washing, otherwise your skin will produce more oil to balance out the dryness. will cause wrinkles and unwanted lines as well.

[LittleKungFuGirl]

I don`t think chocolate causes as much acne as fried food, especially FRENCH FRIES. Gosh, those things are monsters. I break out about ten minutes after I start eating them. No lie! I can feel the pain as some spot on my face starst to swell up and bulge.

[PuddingPie xo]

Dried, oily and fried food like chips, crisps and peanuts..
Chocolate does give you some spots but not as mucha s the fried stuff..

[zxe]

fired, oily and fast food do gives u pimples...sometimes is yr skin skin tyupe...or yr hormones ...

[red robot]

I think chocholate and fried food causes pimple. fastfood is the main cause of it.

[ciemog]

For me nothing is as effective as eating too much sweets and fired junk food to get pimples.

[0MG_Stephhh]

Eating food don't give u acne, unless its food that excites hormone growth because acne is from oil[created by yourself due to hormones] that is clogged up with dirty shiet in your pores on your skin. BS- CHOCOLATE DO NOT f#$#@5 GIVE U SHIET, and sushi<3 forever.

[thutran]

I know fried foods causes pimples. So, eat more vegetable in order to have a smooth skin.

[jy123]

Fried and oily food and also spicy food will give you pimples on your face. Avoid it.

[bebexdreamz]

fried stuff...like hot off the oven or something gives me breakout.. usually hot stuff maybe... and some other items...

[Monica2chasze]

Drink lots of water, and eat less fried and oily food. I think the basic thing that it all comes down to is to know how to balance our meals. Like as long as we eat healthy such as if we eat lots of oily stuff we'd eat more veggies to balance it, then it should be fine. As for eating 1 peanut = 3 pimples...that's a new one. I know that my parents told me that " 1 lychee = 3 fire" meaning it's very "hot air." But then since peanuts is also considered to be in the "hot air" category maybe he/she got confused?

Dermatologists does and still do say that there are no food that causes acne. At least there are no studies that prove otherwise.

In order to get less pimple...drink lots and lots of water, and eat lots of veggie. Less on the meat, and eat some fish. As I said before, try to eat as much of a balanced meal as u can, and not eat that many spicy goodies.

[exdevlin]

Anythingn deepfried usually causes pimples, I hear. Milk chocolate does too, but not dark chocolate, I've found. I don't get breakouts very much, though I do get a spot here and there every now and then, and it gets really annoying, since they leave behind marks for a while before they fade away.

Try to keep up on clear liquids too, like juices and such. Those are good for your system, and helps you cleanse out the dirty stuff in your skin and body.

[汤米^_^]

i think the race/skin matters, my mom saids fried food causes them. Then i see these white people eating crispy food and there skin is fine. Maybe asians are allegic to crispy food. donno @_@

[luffy12]

dermatoligist say that food doesnt cause pimples..but if u no certain food that does..stay away from it..

drink water..and stay away from chocolate..fried food..lobster..shrimp..

[black rose]

yes i agree with deep fried oliy food gives you pimples, also chilli. not everyone is affected by what they eat, it is sometimes their hormones and genes also the environment they live in.

[IVY♥]

Fried and oily foods.
Chocolate gives me pimple but little.
But really food doesn't affect me much; i only get pimples when i don't sleep well!!

[jianming]

well, like most everyone says on here, avoid chocolate! Chocolate has gotten me a lot of acne. Since i've stopped, i've only gotten it from fried food, but I can't help it, most chinese people fry food on a wok then eat it. It's not like i'm going to eat an apple for dinner...

anything that looks oily is good to stay away from basically. but acne is supposed to be a phase that 4/5 out of teenagers experience. You'll get it, just different forms of it throughout being a teenager. Lay off chocolate and fried stuff for a while and see how it turns out.

[~Minty~]

A lot of people here say chocolate; my dermatologist says food has nothing to do with pimples. Anyway I eat chocolates I don't get many pimples. For my age I am not supposed to still have pimples ( completely not related to chocolate or other foods), and I have no wrinkles at all for this reason the French think I am a lot younger than my age.

If you skin is dirty it clogs the pores this is when you get pimples, nothing to do with food.

[Deltan]

For its chocolate, pizza and chips. I'm starting to breakout due to chocolate now.

[xXBaByGurLXx]

i just know greasy food give you pimples like fries, fried food, chocolate, hot stuff, chips...but a balanced diet is okay...you should drink more water and eat fruits like apples or oranges =D

[catbone]

i know that eating alot of fried food will give you pimple

[<natty>]

well i use to go to a specialist for pimples and he told me to eat whatever i like because foods doesn't causes pimples. Just make sure you drink lots of water and balance your diet. But i guess it really depends on the person's body. some people get pimples because of eating too much oily foods but some people get pimples just because of the hormones, etc.

[Moonlight_Shine]

All "yeet-hei" foods will cause pimples and skin problems
Here's some I can think of: Chips, Chocolate, Crisps, Peanuts, Curry etc
Spicy, Oily and Fatty foods are no-no-no!
Spicy foods are the worst, I ate Spicy Sensations' Crisps two days in a row (one each day) and my pimples were so bad, it wasn't a good choice to try them again '
They tasted so good though

[cutegirl1220]

i dont think sushi contributes get pimples only fried suff does. foods tah contributes pimples are bo stuff to me and lam meat.... oily face u can use neutrogena acne, oil free face wash and put some oil free lotion on every day and night! i use tah brand to watch my face and it helps... also use oil free paper to remove it when u cant wash ur face!

[michrox]

I think that oily foods, spicy foods, sour foods, and just anything in the extreme section is bad for the skin. But they taste so good...

[PiggyMai]

I eat alot of fried stuff recently and have alot of pimples that can sometimes turn into spots. I also end up drinking alot of tea and coffee at work which is bad. I eat out alot as well such as restaraunts of takeaway. I hacent heard os sushi giving pimples though, I thought it wqs meant to be healty.

[fortlice]

I know people who eat a lot of fried food and don't get pimples, and people who don't eat fried food and do get pimples. So I don't think you can generalize that fatty foods give you pimples. Maybe some people have a gene that gives them pimples when they eat fatty food.

[SW_MYLOVE]

my momma told me that chips and spicy stuff give you the pimples

spicy food can give you pimples. if you have oily skin, use facial products for oily skin so it can balance your oilyness.
