Skincare tips: Avoid Added sugar in foods
She says that for those striving for clear skin, it is a good idea to eliminate added sugar from their diet.
How does one identify what foods contain added sugar? In her video, Nmami explains how to differentiate foods containing added sugar from those that do not. She says, “One simple trick for acne-free and clear skin -- remove added sugar from your diet. Now added sugar can be found in maple syrup, honey or fruit juices. You will also find added sugar in breakfast cereals, candies and processed foods too.”
Nmami adds, “Remember sugar in whole foods is not an added sugar. For example, sugar in carrots, cranberries or blueberries is not counted as added sugar. So, sugar in whole food is totally okay.”
