Does Chocolate make me break out?
Well alot of people are sensitive to lactose, which is found in milk, cheese, chocolate, yogurt etc. And alot of people find that if they eat this time of food they tend to break out in white type pimple heads and also break out in the cheek area.
This in Chinese Medicine represents the lung area and when we have had to much dairy alot of people start to break out in this region.
Though science tells us no one food group triggers acne.
But in our practice we have found that people that eat dairy products may have a sensitivity and tend to break out. In other words watch what you are eating how much you are consuming, then take a look at your skin 4 days later.
Generally it takes the body 4 days to react internally with break outs to something it is not breaking down well. Drink lots of water, correctly clean your skin, do not over strip the skin, as this will cause further oil production, and irritate the surface. Use a oil free moisturiser to protect the surface, wash pillow slip regularly, Do not pick pimples, this will allow for bacteria to spread.
Gently exfoliate once a week.
Deep Cleansing masks are effective for cleaning the skin - ones that are clay base are good.
