Question

Does jalapenos and other spices cause pimples and acne breakouts? If so, why?

Answer 1

Foods themselves do not cause acne. Many hot & spicy dishes that have jalapeno peppers or other chilis can cause you perspire, depending on how hot the dish is. The sweat that forms from eating this food with high heat-content can contribute to pimples forming. If you have a diet that's rich in very hot, pepper-rich foods, pimples may often appear due to excess oils from sweat getting into your pores.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I have never heard that, but I would gues that it is probably true. Most jalapenos, although a pepper not a spice, are cured in oil. And the oil would go right to your skin.

According to a website I was reading the only spice I can think of that might have anything to do with acne is nutmeg. Nutmeg since it is made from nuts and nuts have natural oil cause acne.

A quick way to reduce acne is to crush an asprin in some lemon juice. It does work.

Answer 4

Chocolate-lovers rejoice! No scientific studies have ever shown that foods can cause breakouts. So as long as high-fat foods like french fries, pizza and chocolate don't irritate your skin, you can eat them (in moderation, of course!). A well-balanced diet is always a good way to help maintain good skin. MYTH: Eating chocolate and greasy foods can cause breakouts. TRUTH: There's actually no evidence that sugary or fried snacks affect your skin. But there's plenty of evidence that says healthy skin (not to mention a healthy body) requires nutrition from a well-balanced diet.

Answer 5

Yes, they do. Whatever you eat goes into your blood stream and hormones. That said, your hormones play a big role in causing your acne.

Answer 7

I don't think so. I do know that they release endorphins which cause a natural high.

Answer 8

No they don't. Stess and other things beside that cause them. No worries!

Answer 9

no...hygeine and stress attribute to acne...food has nothing to do with acne
