Cure and Prevent Acne From The Inside Out
You need the right food to get control over hormonal acne. Yes, acne skin care products help, but they only work on top of the skin. Eating the right foods will balance hormones and keep pores from clogging.
This 7 day acne diet plan will help you do it!
According to the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology, ”_Acne skincare products might actually be causing irritation, dryness, flare ups of rosacea, and atopic dermatitis.”
Changing your diet needs to be your next move.
Foods we eat everyday as part of our western diet are causing spikes in blood sugar levels, which leads to a rise in insulin production (to bring down your blood sugar), which leads to a rise in androgen hormone.
High levels of androgen hormone makes sebum thick and sticky which ends up clogging pores. So, we end up with inflammation and hormonal imbalance making it harder for our acne skincare routine to do its job.
Eating the right foods can actually reduce inflammation and help balance hormones, to help you have clear skin, from the inside out!

Our Philosophy for the Hormonal Acne Diet Plan
Avoid Processed Foods
The key here is to avoid blood sugar spikes! No white sugar, white flour, or processed foods. This includes sweets and sugary drinks like soda, juice, and alcohol. _We have suggestions for satisfying alternatives!
Avoid Milk and Limit Dairy
Drinking milk has been shown to promote insulin secretion and a hormone called IGF-1, which has been linked with acne development. Whey protein, a milk derived protein, has also been linked to acne. Cheese and yogurt is less proven to cause acne, so for 7 days you’ll eliminate then add it back slowly.
Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods
You want the most bang for your buck! Nutrient-dense foods have whole grains, healthy fats, and color.
Vitamins
Vitamins help regulate sebum production, heal and protect skin cells, and boost collagen. Vitamins C and A are especially important. Foods like carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and citrus fruits are a great source of acne-fighting vitamins.
Omega-3
Getting good fats like omega-3’s will help reduce inflammation. You’ll get it from flax and chia seeds, walnuts, and salmon. Plus, You’ll avoid not-so-good fats like omega-6.
Zinc
Keeping your microbiome healthy will make sure p. Acne bacteria is under control. Plant-based sources include legumes, seeds, nuts, potatoes, eggs, and dark chocolate will help. If you go for the chocolate, just be sure it’s not loaded with sugar!
Antioxidants
Fights free radicals in the air touching our skin and also in our bodies. You’ll be “eating the rainbow,"" which means filling your meals with colorful foods and drinking green tea.
Probiotics
Reduce inflammation and increase the absorption of nutrients. Great sources are miso, pickles, kim chi, and sauerkraut.
Meat
Meat causes inflammation. And if the animal was producing stress hormones at the time it was slaughtered, you’ll end up eating those hormones in your body. Our 7 Day Hormonal Acne Diet is plant-based. As your skin clears up, you can introduce meat back in, if you wish, and decide if your skin tolerates it well.
