About a year ago I started to get a specialty coffee called a Milky Way (tasted just like the candy bar with a hint of coffee) every day. I started to break out bad. I have always had very clear skin and this was the only change I had made. After about 4 months I stopped getting the coffee and within a week all my skin was clear again. I can't say with scientific certainty that the coffee was the cause and I still have one once in a while with no bad results, but I know I won't go back to the coffee every day. I also gained 10 pounds while on this coffee kick. I lost it pretty easily after I quit the drinks too!

What is causing these blemishes?There are several factors that contribute to the onset of skin blemishes in adults. Cosmetics and toiletries may clog pores. Such products include foundations, night creams, and moisturizers.You may need to change your make-up.
Increased sebum production is, to a great extent, caused by hormonal imbalance which is often why spots are often triggered by the onset of puberty or during pregnancy. Temporarily blemished skin can be the result of overloading your body with pollutants such as alcohol, coffee, tea and the chemicals found in tobacco smoke and failing to supply it with essential nutrients. Add to this stress - which can increase the production of some hormones that affect the sebaceous glands - a lack of fresh air, exercise, sunshine and sleep and it's not surprising it shows on your face.
Blemishes fall into two categories: blackheads or whiteheads. Both types of breakouts occur in the hair follicles. They develop when pores become clogged with sebum and other surface impurities, such as dead skin cells and bits of protein. Blackheads are not caused by dirt on the skin, but rather by excess oil left on the skin. If not removed within eight hours, this oil hardens into a plug. When the hardened oil is exposed to air, it is oxidized, giving it a black color. If bacteria comes into contact with this plugged pore, it can cause an inflammation, or a whitehead (the classic pimple).
You may need to change your diet or just generally take better care of yourself. get more sleep, eat more nutrional foods, get outside and enjoy the sunshine.

I don't think it's the case. I tried quitting caffeien to see if it would help my skin, but I don't think there was any improvement from that.

Your hormones cause your acne...
