Skin Sinners : Foods That Can Aggravate Acne

We all have friends who seem to be able to eat as much "bad food" as they like and never suffer from spots. This is generally why people argue that these foods don't cause acne and pimple.

However, some of us are susceptible to break outs if we eat lots of the food in the list below. Cutting down your intake of these foods will not only help your acne but it will help keep you healthy for life.
