Is too much chocolate bad for your skin?

Question

Someone told me it gives you acne if you eat too much of it.v Is this true?

Answer 1

ok so, heaps of ppl say chocolate *doesnt* cause acne...but ive seen too many people gets blemishes after eating anything with refined sugars and hydrogenated oils (of which chocolate has both) to agree with that.

Diet influences skin quality for most ppl! anyone that says otherwise has been given a fantastic complexion genetically - and good on them if they can get away with it. Most people can get away with a few pieces, but a binge will often cause a flare up. Partially because of sugar content which feeds bacteria in the body, partially because of the hydrogenated oils/fats and most importantly because it contains caffeine which is a diuretic. Dehydration can make acne much worse. So if you are going to have a choc binge, drink a whole heap of water before, during and after.

So it's not specifically chocolate that's the cause, its anything with high sugar or salt for most ppl.
