Sugar Spike and Acne 🍩➡️😣
Sugar Spike and Acne 🍩➡️😣
How does "sugar rush" hurt the skin?
By Nurse Short Note for Beauty
1️⃣ Sugar Spike?
Time to eat dough / dessert → body changes to "glucose"
Sugar rush → pancreas secretion, insulin, large amount
If often =
⚠️ Chronic high insulin (Hyperinsulinia)
⚠️ risk "insulin resistance."
⚠️ The beginning of inflammation in the body.
And "skin" is one of the first organs to show acne.

2️⃣ The mechanism from sugar → acne (very easy to understand!)
Sugar Spike Acne Sequence:
1.Eat high carb → fast sugar rush
2. Very insulin secretion
3. Insulin to stimulate
▪️ Increase fat formation.
▪️ Reduce fat breakdown.
4. Fat glands produce abnormally much oil.
5. Pore clog + inflammation
6.Acne clog → Acne inflammation
If there's insulin resistance,
Inflammation is even more chronic, not easily cured.

3️⃣ Little sleep = pimple 🍂
Sleep deprivation for one night
Glucose removal is reduced by up to 25%.
Little Sleep → High Cortisol
→ Insulin resistance
→ Hungry for more dessert
→ Sugar Spike, repeat.
Acne cycle that many people do not know at all
💡 Trick helps sleep:
• 2 Kiwi results before bed
• A little cherry juice is extracted before dinner.
Helps adjust sleep quality + reduce inflammation

4️⃣ How to choose food for acne to reduce? (See GI)
Bypass High GI (> 70)
❌ White rice
❌ White bread.
❌ Donut
❌ Nectar
Select Low GI (< 55)
✅ Brown rice
✅ Soba.
✅ Boiled soybeans
✅ Apple
✅ Natural yogurt
✨ Tip:
Start the meal with "vegetables" → followed by protein → the last carb.
Helps slow the absorption of sugar.

Health target values to know:
• After-meal sugar 2 hours < 140 mg / dL
• HbA1c < 5.7%
• FBS 70-90 mg / dL

🎯 Summary from Nurse Short Note
Acne is not just a skin problem.
But it's often a "metabolic alarm."
Insulin control = Inflammation control
Inflammation Control = Sustainable Acne Control
Always treat the cause skin better than at the end. 💙
