the same way that what you eat will affect the way you act, it does affect your face. for instance, if you eat a lot of sugar and caffeine, it will make you stay up longer and be more "productive" (my friends eat skittles when they're doing homework), but then you completely crash and feel like crap. so, eating things that are bad for you affect the way you act, and they make your face break out. because it affects chemicals in your body when you have any type of overload on any food, which makes your face get all out of whack. my face got a lot better when i quit drinking soft drinks, for instance. also, it's been proven that people who drink 8 glasses of water a day generally have better control over their acne than people who don't. it depends from person to person on the food thing, though. some people can eat whatever they want and it doesn't affect their acne, some people have a strict diet and they still have bad acne. my friend is very picky about what she eats, and her main food groups are reese's peanut butter cups and poptarts. and you can tell by her face, even though she's on acne medication. the best thing to do is just try it out for a couple of weeks. start drinking water instead of soft drinks first because i've found that makes the biggest difference.
