HOW DOES COFFEE AFFECT ACNE...

ACNE HELP CHICO     916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

DO YOU HAVE ACNE?  DO YOU DRINK COFFEE?

If you answered yes to both of these questions - keep reading.

Regular intake of coffee can impact your neurotransmitters, your ability to manage stress, and in the case of stress-based acne, coffee can impact the health of your skin.

Coffee decreases the absorption of iron, an important mineral necessary for the synthesis of your "feel good neurotransmitters" serotonin and dopamine. Coffee also lowers your body's B vitamins. In order to make serotonin, dopamine,and another neurotransmitter, GABA, you need vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Your adrenal hormones rely heavily on the B vitamins to manage any type of stress.

Regular consumption of coffee not only affects neurotransmitters, it also hinders your body's ability to manage stress. To help manage acne, slowly wean your self off the coffee so that your adrenal glands and your neurotransmitters can work to keep you healthy and happy!
