It’s not always diet related if you have acne. So, as long as you eat a well-rounded, healthy diet, you don’t necessarily have to eliminate certain foods, unless you know that, for whatever reason, you’re on some extreme all cow’s milk diet or something like that.” (03:30) (Dr. Azi) “I always tell people your skin barrier is the key to healthy skin. It keeps the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. And so when it’s disrupted, acne gets worse.” (04:08) (Dr. Azi) “A lot of times, when acne goes away, it leaves behind a stain - a red stain or a brown stain. If you don’t protect your skin from the sun, that stain can last for months. If you’re breaking out, wear sun protection because the sun definitely delays the healing of the skin and can cause staining from acne to last much longer.” (06:40) (Dr. Azi) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned Dr. Azi’s Instagram Dr. Azi’s Skincare Website NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
