does sugar actually give you pimples?

Answer 1

Only if you rub it on your face.

What you eat has less effect than your general cleanliness. Just wipe your mouth (or better yet, if you can, wash your face at a sink) after eating, and you should be fine. Also keep your face as clean as possible at any other time.

Answer 2

No, this was a myth perpetuated in the 60's and 70's. Chocolate was another myth. Pimples are caused my bacteria trapped under clogged pores. It is also aggrovated by hormonal activity, meaning, you're more likely to get brake outs during puberty and women's monthly cycles. I get them still, and I'm 43!

The best way to prevent pimples the use of proper products. Wash your face well at night, using products that include salysic acid, better yet, glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acid. Use these to wash your face, neck and chest. Then apply a lotion that is non-comedigenic (non-clogging), that includes one of these acids. Use a sunscreen that is non-comedigenic (you can use neutrogena non-comedigenic spf 15), as the sun is one of your skins worst enemies. Follow it up with a visit to your dermotologist for a glycolic acid treatments twice a year, and a prescription of retin a.

Causes of Pimples - Science is not so developed to pin-point the exact cause or rule out something else. But it is noticed in various circumstances why pimples erupt favorably. They are as follows
A) Hormonal changes - occurring during puberty, menstrual periods, pregnancy, and while people start or stop using birth control pills will mostly aggravate pimples. The male sex hormone testosterone (also found in women) triggers the sebaceous glands to produce excess sebum, making the skin greasy, which in turn causes pimples.
· Period of Puberty - Is pimple a sign of puberty? It occurs in both sexes due to excess sebum production, but predominately occurs in females
· Premenstrual symptom - Is pimple an indicator of periods? Mostly in women, pimples are more frequently worsened at the time of menstruation

B) Bacteria - The most common bacteria which cause pimples are Propionibacterium acne, Corynebacterium acne, Staphylococcus albus and Pityrosporon ovale.
C) Foods and intakes - Oily, fatty, pastry, spicy and fast foods, chocolates, nuts, and milk produce more sebum, leading to more pimples.
Bromine and iodine salts' intake or medicines containing these substances, which are mainly used for cold, sedative and as analgesic, will also cause pimples.
D) Environment - Increased exposure to ultraviolet rays (sun exposure) and also environmental irritants such as pollution and high humidity will also cause pimples.
E) Hereditary factors - It is often found to run in families
F) Physical and mental stress - may aggravate the condition for a flare-up.
G) Cosmetics-Greasy cosmetics stick to the skin and form a plug in pore-causing pimples
H) Infection- Dental sepsis and sinusitis sometimes cause pimples.

Why Do So Many Kids Get Acne?
A lot of kids and teens get a type of acne called acne vulgaris. It usually appears on the face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest. Teens and kids get acne because of the hormone changes that come with puberty. As you grow up and your body begins to develop, these hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, and the glands can become overactive. When there is too much sebum, that oil clogs the pores and leads to acne.

No matter what you've heard, acne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, munching on chocolate, or drinking soda. It isn't necessarily caused by wearing makeup, either, especially if the makeup label says "oil-free," "noncomedogenic" (say: non-ka-mee-doh-jen-ick, which means it won't clog pores), or "nonacnegenic" (which means it doesn't cause acne).

If your parent had acne as a teen, it's likely that you will, too. Stress may make acne worse, because when you're stressed, your pores may make more sebum. Luckily, for most people, acne gets better by the time they are in their twenties.

NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED BY THIS.
Yes, SOME people do get acne and say it is from chocolate, I would say NO, For a lot of reasons.
One is IF I got acne as a kid and did not eat much chocolate or sugars, and then in my adult life I ate sugars and/or chocolate as well as other foods that are said to cause pimples, then how come my face is CLEAR NOW?
I think it has more to do with HORMONES. There are a few pimples I get once in a while and I am 47, I do not eat sugars and very little chocolate now, but every once in a while a pimple pops up.
WHY?
Hormones.
