High sugar intake can cause obesity, chronic disease, tooth decay, cause wrinkles on your face and change your complexion.
Glycation is when sugar in your bloodstream bonds onto proteins in the body. The more sugar we eat, the more glycation end products we produce.
Since collagen that keeps our skin plump and firm is the body’s most prevalent protein, it will be affected most and can result in saggy, loose and red facial skin.
Glycation can cause other skin problems, like redness, rosacea and acne. Foods with higher glycemic index
can trigger breakouts.
Sugar triggers the pancreas to produce more insulin, which increases the hormones that stimulate sebum production. Sugar changes complexion by depleting water in the cells causing dark under-eye circles.
