can the foods you eat affect your skin(acne)? does eating chocolate or greasy foods make you break out? and does makeup make you break out? i heard these were a myth but i think this is true.. well in my case.
THANKS!!

JazzY answered Sunday March 20 2005, 12:45 pm: Chocolate or greasy foods shouldn't make you break out. Maybe they do for you, but they really shouldn't for most people. It could be the facewash that you're using now. That has happened to me. I reccomend washing your face with Noxema at least twice a day and then at night putting clearasil on it too. I also use Cetaphil face lotion at night too because I tend to get really dry skin during Winter. I hope I helped you out a bit!

_eMiLy answered Sunday March 20 2005, 11:36 am: Apparantly it's been proven that foods don't make you break out so I wouldn't worry to much about chocolate or greasy foods.
Make up however can make you break out if you over do it and/or leave it on over night. Don't leave it on over night. Some people have such luck that even if they do leave it on over night they dont break out, personally if I was you I wouldn't risk it =P

Erinn_the_bamf answered Sunday March 20 2005, 11:09 am: I am not sure if foods make you break out. Make-up doesn't MAKE you break out but if you've already broken out make-up makes it worse. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

jen_rache answered Sunday March 20 2005, 10:19 am: well.. it kinda depends on what type of skin yoo have. chocolate and greasy foods CAN make yoo break out but not every single time yoo eat a hershey lol ya no? and with makeup, if yoo use foundation, every night, yoo MUST wash yer face- not just soap and water- yoo need a deep cleansing soap. yoo can also try pro-active or acne-free! i hope my advice works!

KirksSkater answered Sunday March 20 2005, 8:51 am: Everynight, wash your face to get rid of make-up. If you sleep with it, it causes you to break out (trust me, its happend to me before). Eating food with a high amount of sugar can also be the problem. To get rid of the acne, go to your doctor, and he will give you a special cream to help with it.
Hope I helped!

I know some people with acne and they eat alot of like junk food like 24/7 so maybe you should just cut down on the junk food. Also, anything that -doesn't- belong on your face will break you out.
FunkyHoMoSapien answered Sunday March 20 2005, 5:30 am: greasy foods are the biggest causes of break outs when it comes to food.and yes make-up can make you break out, but not a whole lot and it usually depends where on your face you put it. like you nose or forehead would have a higher chance of breaking out. i hope i helped [ FunkyHoMoSapien's advice column | Ask FunkyHoMoSapien A Question ]
