Sugar, as much as we love it, is one of the absolute worst things for your skin. It is the most aging food that we consume, and weakens our immune system to boot! Too much of it will make your skin lackluster, and speed up your body’s production of wrinkles. Sugar damages your collagen and elastin, two things that keep your skin plump and young.
Unfortunately, studies have shown that sugar feeds cancer as well. When it comes to your skin, too much of it in your body weakens your ability to fight bacteria. Long story short, the more bacteria in your body the more toxins that exist and the worse skin we will have. Choose to satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars found in fruit, instead of that candy bar!
