Instead, I’m inviting you to be conscious of the sources of sugar you choose, and how much you decide to consume. Because like most things in life, it’s the quality and quantity that counts. I’m not saying you should cut ALL sources of sugar. (You can breathe a sigh of relief).

First off, let’s be clear on something.

In this second article of our Eat Beautifully series, I’ll explain to you how cutting down on sugar can help you clear your skin and get your inner glow back. If the last question is on your mind, fret not my Beauties, because I’ve got you covered. As a Holistic Health Coach, I usually get asked a variation of the following questions:

Whole fruits (1-2 portions a day. Avoid juices or purées.)

Whole-food carbohydrates (About 1/2 to 1 cup per meal)

Sugar Face: what excess sugar is doing to your skin

Dr. Nigma Talib, a naturopath who works with celebrities, has popularized the term “Sugar Face” to describe the effects that excess sugar has on the skin. Supposedly, she can look at someone’s face and determine if they have a sweet tooth by the appearance and the location of their blemishes and wrinkles. (Interesting skill to have!)

Which leaves us with this question: What signs does excess sugar leave on your face?

Sugar and pre-mature aging:

When we eat a diet high in natural and artificial sugars, the excess sugar molecules that our body doesn’t require for fuel can attach themselves to collagen and elastin. If you recall from my last article, these bad boys are protein structures involved in keeping your skin supple, strong and basically looking like a super-star. When sugar attaches itself to collagen and elastin, it prevents them from doing their job correctly. (Kind of like that chatty co-worker who won’t let you concentrate on that report due in an hour). The result of sub-par collagen and elastic productivity: wrinkles and sagging skin. Yikes! The process of sugar attaching to protein is called advanced glycation end products. And coincidentally, as if nature was trying to give us a sign, the acronym for this process is AGE.

Therefore, it’s fitting to say that excess sugar causes you to AGE!

Sugar and acne:

A meal high in sugar and refined carbohydrates (bread, pasta, flour-based foods) leads to a high level of sugar in the blood once the food is digested. This sudden increase in sugar sends a signal to your body to produce a hormone called insulin, whose role is to mop up the excess sugar in the blood and bring it to cells who needs it for fuel. Once the sugar level in the blood is back to normal, insulin production goes down until your next meal. Your body’s smart and can handle the occasional Sunday 3-stories pancake brunch. However, if you consume frequent meals high in sugar and refined carbs, this could lead to constant high levels of insulin. Why this is bad news for your lovely face: Constant high levels of insulin will increase your production of testosterone and androgens (often coined the “male hormones”), which then sends a signal to your skin to produce more oil. The end result: higher risk of clogged pores, blackheads, and breakouts.
