Dairy bad for skin?

Is dairy A cause of acne?

many people around us thinks dairy products are a key cause for bad skin and on other hand they are our "go to" for calcium & potassium




The scientific link between dairy and skin health is relatively small. Some propose that dairy promotes insulin and IGF1 production as seen in carbohydrate-rich diets, or that it contains growth hormones which increase androgen levels that in turn cause oil glands to produce more sebum, both of which could hypothetically cause flare-ups for skin conditions.
there is definitely no clear links between dairy products & Acne

Allergies are other issue, they present as rashes & inflammation  If you suspect that dairy is the cause of skin issues then attempt to cut it out and keep a food diary, making note of your skin condition following this. However, for most people the causes behind conditions such as acne are complex and so simply cutting out dairy or changing your diet may not be sufficient or significant enough to clear up your skin.


Being a Doctor i would suggest you to visit a dermatologist before making changes in your diet

Dairy alternatives such as soy, almond and coconut milk can sometimes be sweetened with sugar to make them taste more like cow’s milk - and there is evidence to suggest that these levels of sugar could cause skin problems too. Soya milk can be high in added sugars and refined sugar may be implicated in skin ageing and acne.
