Does spicy food affect my skin?

This article talks about the myths around the effects spicy food has on your skin.

Spicy food might not be good for your skin. We have all heard of the myth that eating spicy food makes your pores bigger and clogs them up, leading to breakouts and blackheads. This is not true. Here's what really happens: Spicy foods make you sweat, which can lead to dehydration-related acne and oil production in some people because you are using more oil production. It is also possible that eating spicy food increases build-up on your sebum glands because of their fat content.

Spicy food does not always have a positive effect on the skin. In some cases, it can cause inflammation and acne. The reason spicy food causes acne is that the spice stimulates oil glands under the skin and increases oil production.

Spicy foods are great for the body, but what about the skin?

As people grow older, metabolism slows down and collagen production diminishes. This leaves our skin looking dry and wrinkled. But on the bright side, spicy foods can help replenish those lost nutrients.
