Does milk make acne worse?

Question

I heard it makes skin oily and pimples worse is that true?

Answer 1

Sometimes food allergies/sensitivities manifest in odd ways.  My dad gets full of nasal mucous and sneezes and coughs when he has dairy.  Try cutting milk out of your diet for 2-4 weeks to see if it gets better.  

Answer 2

if you drink milk to excess you can get what looks like acne. it is a calcium deposit in the skin that looks like acne or white heads. if you drink a lot of milk this could be what it is.  

Answer 3

Haha, no if anything it will help it, but i it will not harm them.

Answer 4

I believe it does.

To reduce acne, eat a lot of fruits.

If you can eat fruits only (for few days), I am sure the  acne will reduce also.

Answer 5

I notice that milk only gives me acne if I don't exercise with it (This might only apply to select few people). I've switched to soy milk recently and I have had very little acne.

Answer 6

Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous glands within the skin's hair follicles. These glands then secrete an oily substance called sebum. When sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells build up on your skin, the pores become blocked, creating a zit.

What do you expect? When teenagers combine their own surging hormones with dietary saturated animal fat, cholesterol, steroid hormones, dead white blood cells, and cow pus, they're gonna get zits. The good news: The cure is an easy one: NOTMILK!

Answer 8

Yes - it's true.  Stop eating all dairy and meat and your skin will clear up.  My sister (she's 38) has always had terrible skin, but became vegan 1 year ago and within 3 months she stopped wearing foundation for the first time since high school.
