Just a thought; thought I'd share. I eliminated ALL dairy this past October and it really helped. I just came across the corn connection and am working on eliminating corn from my diet. We'll see how things pan out (it's only been a week).
You can cure your skin problem with natural acne cures. There is no need to resort to expensive over-the-counter products. Did you know that there are extremely healthy foods that make acne worse? Your health-conscious diet could be causing your breakouts.
These are the most dangerous foods because they are hiding behind the mask of healthiness. If you are prone to acne breakouts you need to stay away from these bad healthy foods.
Bananas
Bananas are high in sugar. That's why they are so delicious. They also are high potasium and some vitamins. They truly are a healthy food. But, because they are high in sugar they will cause an insulin surge which leads to inflammation and acne. If you are looking for natural acne cures, then stay away from bananas, or at least reduce your consumption.
Corn
Just like peas, corn is high in sugar and is therefore an enemy of clear skin, even though in many ways corn is healthy. One of these reasons corn is so delicious is because it is sweet. Corn is loaded with natural sugars which raise insulin levels thereby causing acne. Until you get through your acne stage, stay away from corn.
Dried Fruit
Most fruit, though not all, is safe if you eat just a piece at a time. Eating too much fruit will give you a blast of sugar which will set off the inflammation process leading to acne. Dried fruit is bad for acne because just about everything has been dried out of it except the sugar. Dried fruit is essentially a lump of sugar. Eating just a few pieces can give you a surge of sugar, thereby raising insulin and starting inflammation process. stay away from dried fruits.
Granola
Natural cures for acne, you may have noticed, involving reducing your consumption of sugar. Here's another food to avoid due to sugar. Most people looking for a health breakfast option turn to granola. I do. Too bad it's usually loaded with sugar. This truly healthy food will send your blood sugar to the skies, thereby releasing a blast of insulin and setting off the inflammation process leading to your new pimples in a day or two.
Cheese
Cheese is so delicious and healthy. Lots of calcium and vitamins makes this food a health food favorite. To bad it too sets off the inflammation process which causes us to break out with acne all over our faces.
Many think that using natural acne cures means not eating the foods you like. That is not completely true. First try reducing the intake of these kinds of foods until you see your skin clearing up. You may find that your body can handle a certain amount of these foods without causing breakouts.

Did you know that 4 of those 5 things are some of my favorite foods? Bananas, corn, granola and cheese. I eat this stuff daily. And if this is true, that could be why I am breaking out so bad? Starting next week I am going to start logging all of my food again, so I will have to watch my intake of these things and see what happens.

I do occasionally get a hive from eating banana. I love them. My nutritionist said never to eat more than 1/2 at a time (for my oatmeal, which I do not sweeten). But just a tip -- the greener they are the lower in sugar. The sugar content goes up as they brown (which is why they taste sweeter then).
