JAKARTA - Having a clean and glowing facial skin is the dream of many people. However, to have this skin is not enough just by routinely using skin care, but also from daily food intake.
Quoted from Times of India, on Thursday, April 2, 2026, there are several everyday foods that can actually trigger damage to the facial skin, such as causing blackheads and acne.
Although delicious and easy to find, these foods should be avoided or limited in consumption. The types of food are as follows.
1. Fried
Fried snacks are foods that contain a lot of oil, which can trigger acne. These foods contain a lot of trans fat and saturated fat, and have a high glycemic index (GI).
These contents cause an increase in inflammation in the body that triggers excessive oil production, causing clogged pores, which ultimately causes acne and blackheads.
2. Processed meat
Processed meat is also a food that quickly triggers acne and causes oily skin, as well as triggering the appearance of blackheads. Some examples of processed meat are bacon and sausage.
This food contains high saturated fat, which can increase inflammation throughout the body. This condition will cause excessive oil production, making the skin more itchy, oily, irritating, and acne.
3. Sweet foods
Sweet foods may be the favorite food of many people. However, the consumption of sweet foods should be avoided or limited, because the sugar content is high which is closely related to the production of oil on the skin.
High blood sugar levels can cause excessive secretion of certain hormones, so that the skin becomes more oily, pores are clogged, and eventually acne and blackheads appear.
