7. Ice Cream
Ice cream is the perfect treat on a hot summer day, but it's another dairy product. Like milk, ice cream has a high GI. Between its impact on blood sugar and increases of IGF-1 levels, it's not skin-friendly.
Anyone trying to reduce acne should eliminate ice cream from their diet for a while or replace it with non-dairy, low sugar ice creams. It may not be necessary to give up regular ice cream forever, but avoiding it temporarily may limit acne outbreaks.
