Constipation is a major contributor to breakouts, particularly inflamed pimples. It's your body's job to eliminate toxins, and if you're constipated, your body will begin eliminating toxins through the skin. This can present itself as body odor or acne issues in Chico. Healthy bowels eliminate 2 full bowel movements daily or at least 1 complete bowel movement per day. Even if you are eliminating daily, strained, painful, hard or clumping bowel movements are indicators of constipation.
