A sweet smile is the most elegant accessory you have these days. Smiles are the finest beauty remedy. It shows love while you smile. But I sense there is some reason behind this cute smile. Let me guess.
Ah! Recently you switched to the keto diet. Right. For the last few days, you have been very stressed about your acne problem. Now I can see the change in the skin. Perhaps this is why a warm smile makes you look beautiful.
Let’s see how the keto diet may help you with your acne problem
Today 90% of teens face acne problems. It’s fairly common in adults too. Acne develops when the sebaceous gland present in the top layer of our skin produces an excess of sebum leading to oily skin. Thus, dead cells along with this sebum block the pores. The bacteria P. Acnes which lives in a very small amount in the top layer of the skin increases drastically, leading to whiteheads, pustules, and acne. A diet high in sugar and carbs aggravates acne conditions.
Those who switch to the keto diet, a low-carb diet, report clearer skin. The logical reason behind it is:
The low-carb diet lowers blood insulin levels, as high insulin levels increase the production of sebum responsible for aggravating the condition of acne.
Inflammation also enhances acne condition. Low-carb diets such as the keto diet reduce inflammation.
Like weight control, acne control can also vary from person to person. Not only the keto diet but many factors may help you improve it. There are times when people report worsening acne after starting the keto diet. However, this was short-lived and may improve with time while following the diet.
