Eating chocolate will make your acne worse.
1 of 5
Contrary to popular belief, eating chocolate will not make your acne condition worse. What can make it worse is what kind of chocolate you have; milk chocolate contains sugar and dairy products such as milk which could wreak havoc for people who are acne-prone. However, eating dark chocolate does not have any ill-effect because dark chocolate contains a higher degree of cocoa compared to milk chocolate which is higher in Glycemic index. Higher Glycemic index can spike the insulin levels and worsen the condition of acne.
