Acne problem. I've minimized my sweets intake, and every once in a while I treat and boom major break out!!!!!

I've been trying to break some of my eating habits and I havn't eaten sweets or anything like that for a while, and over the weekend I ate some candy on a road trip and I had some pie on fathers' day and my face just broke out. WHY? Also, is there a way to make scabs from popping pimples go away super fast????

    I can't answer why you break out with sweets... some acne prone people do and some don't. I suggest to anyone with acne (myself included) to wash your face morning and night (even just with water if you don't have a facial cleaner handy). And when you see a sign of a new breakout to occur... dab a bit of white toothpaste on it. It seems to dry it out overnight better (be sure not to leave it on for more than 6-8 hrs at a time - use in moderation). Good luck. : ) (Any other colored toothpaste doesn't seem to work)

    first off, try drinking more water. Also eat fruits an vegetables to stay healthy. You can eat candy and sweets here and there, but while u r make sure that u r washing your face and putting masks on to keep u from breaking out.

    Well there are plenty of ways to eat what you want and control your break outs.

    try sweets that are low in sugar.

    or just use good skin care products like neutrogena.

    its not expensive and you see results QUICK!

    i eat plenty of sweets and dont break out!

    but i'm not you and all of our hormones are built different so try different things out and see whats best

    i just went to the dermo. yesterday and he gave me a pill and cream

    he said in 3-4 weeks i should be clear! :D

    he also recomendended neutrgena

    also caused my hormones or stress

    NOTHING to do with eating

    and it doesnt matter how hard you clean your face or how often
