White Bread - This is considered junk food since it is void of any vitality for your body. It is hard to digest and causes constipation
Chocolate - some chocolates are better than others. Those that have saturated fats such milk, butter and sugars are not good for your health and definitely not good for your skin.
Fried Fatty foods - fried foods, butter, chesses, beef,
Foods in packages - All foods in packages or boxes are junk food. They are considered dead food and provide no life force to your body. They take from you because they use up minerals, vitamins, and digestive enzymes during digestion. They contain no fiber so they cause constipation.
Foods with artificial flavors and preservatives - These are non-foods that are super toxic. Your body does not know what to do with them so it stores them in your body as toxic waste.
Milk, ice cream, hard chesses - these foods cause allergies and cause mucus to form. This mucus coats the colon and other internal surfaces and interferes with the function of that area. Bacteria and other pathogens enjoy living in the mucus film. This mucus also tries to escape through the face when you have too much of it in the body. If you cannot digest dairy products, this can cause you to have acne.
Sodas are the worst drink you can take. They contain plenty of sugar and phosphoric acid.
Sugar is considered a white poison. It creates so many health problems in the body that the FDA should outlaw it.
Salt - avoid salt only because it has iodine. Iodine has been shown to cause acne.
Excess Vitamin B12 - can aggravate or produce acne.

Grain. Most doctors and dermatologists say that acne is not related to diet, but I can confidently tell you that there is indeed a link--and a strong one at that.
Eating refined carbohydrates and sugar leads to a surge of insulin and an insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1 in your body. This can lead to an excess of male hormones, which cause pores in the skin to secrete sebum, a greasy substance that attracts acne-promoting bacteria. Additionally, IGF-1 causes skin cells known as keratinocytes to multiply, a process that is associated with acne ...
... Limiting grains is an integral step toward optimizing your health. The more we study the influence of grains, and their secondary consequences on insulin, the more we will find that their pervasive influences touch nearly every aspect of our health.

Scientifically foods do not affect acne. My best answer will be drink lots of water and wash face at least twice a day. If that doesn't work for you then try what everybody is does and that's proactive

actually i have had lots of problems with acne...many doctors visits. the food you eat has nothing to do with why your face is breaking out. i would suggest to not touch your face a lot and to not pick (gross) at your face; it will do nothing but worsen the break out. i would try cetaphil face soap which is wonderful. my dermatologist recommends it and i have used it for 9 years now. you can buy it at wal-mart, wall greens etc.

Greasy food because once they are on your hands and you touch your face it gets oily and dirty and thats how acne starts. Food doesnt make you have acne though. Try washing with a cotton swab and alcohol every night before you sleep that should clear it up fast!

really sugary foods, such as chocolate can cause acne too. try eating raising and nuts as a subsititute, or if you still want a sugar fix an oatmeal raisin cookie is the healthiest way to go!

Soda and any greasy foods. Also, try drinking juices with antioxidants, such as 100% grape or cranberry.
