Sweets have a bad effect not only on your figure, but also on your skin.

Dermatologist Arina Suvorova spoke about this in more detail, writes Life .

As the doctor noted, glucose, which is contained in sweet foods, negatively affects appearance.

The fact is that the functioning of collagen and elastin is disrupted, which affects the quality of the skin.

Besides this, other problems may arise.

For example, moisture is lost, which means that the skin becomes dry and the complexion becomes dull. But, as Suvorova noted, the downsides do not end there.

As the doctor noted, sweets change the pH of the skin and, as a result, its microbiome.

In this case, fungi can begin to multiply, which leads to acne, psoriasis and other problems. In some cases, pigment spots may appear.

This is why the amount of sweets in your diet should be significantly reduced.
