Acne? Maybe Coffee Isn't the Best Idea

Acne? Maybe Coffee Isn't the Best Idea

We all know that coffee has tons of benefits. It's a great pick-me-up in the morning, it can help you stay alert and focused, and it might even have some health benefits. But did you know that coffee can also contribute to breakouts? If you're struggling with acne, you might want to cut back on your coffee intake. Here's what you need to know.

Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, hormones, and inflammation. And while there's no definitive proof that coffee causes acne, there is some evidence to suggest that it can contribute to breakouts. Coffee is a diuretic, which means it helps to flush water and toxins out of your body. But in the process, it can also lead to dehydration, which can trigger or worsen acne.

In addition, coffee is also a source of caffeine, which can cause your adrenal glands to produce more cortisol—the stress hormone. And when your adrenal glands produce more cortisol, it increases inflammation throughout your body, which can lead to breakouts. So if you're struggling with acne, limiting your coffee intake might help to improve your skin.
