Understanding the Diet-Acne Connection

Acne can affect both teens and adults alike. The relationship between diet and acne is confusing. There is evidence to suggest that certain dietary factors may influence acne; however, the exact mechanisms and specific dietary recommendations are still being elucidated. Some studies suggest that consuming high glycemic index (GI) foods, like sugary snacks and refined carbohydrates, can lead to increased insulin levels, exacerbating acne by boosting sebum production and inflammation.Additionally, certain dairy products, particularly skim milk, may influence acne development due to hormones and growth factors. Protein powders that contain milk-derived whey protein can also exacerbate acne. Diets high in omega-6 fatty acids, found in processed foods and some vegetable oils, may promote inflammation, while omega-3 fatty acids, found in sources like fatty fish, may have anti-inflammatory effects beneficial for acne-prone skin.We always recommend incorporating antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, as well as staying hydrated, to best support skin health. However, individual responses to dietary changes vary, so consulting with your dermatologist for personalized advice is recommended.

Nicotinamide for Skin Cancer Prevention

While sun protection is our main weapon against skin cancer, recent research offers another layer of defense: nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3. Available as an oral supplement, nicotinamide, has shown impressive results in reducing the development of both skin cancers and actinic keratoses, precancerous lesions that often progress to cancer. Studies have found it can decrease the incidence of common skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by up to 23%, and reduce actinic keratoses by 15%. This translates to a powerful tool in our arsenal for protecting your skin from the sun's long-term damage.How does it work? Nicotinamide supports DNA repair after sun exposure, boosting your skin's natural defenses against UV damage. It also helps maintain a healthy immune response, another key factor in preventing skin cancer. While sun protection remains crucial, nicotinamide could be a valuable tool for high-risk individuals, such as those with a history of skin cancer or extensive sun exposure.While sun protection remains the cornerstone of skin cancer prevention, nicotinamide offers an additional layer of defense for individuals at high risk, such as those with a history of skin cancer or frequent sun exposure. We're excited to discuss this promising development with you at your next appointment and explore if it might be a good fit for your individual skin health needs.
