Does Sprite cause acne

Answer 1

Some people with sensitive skin can get acne if sugar gets onto their face, however for the most part things that you consume have less impact on acne than most people believe. Most acne that is triggered by food or drinks is caused by the actual food or drink getting directly onto the face (around your mouth or onto a hand that you later touch your face with).

You can check out www.Acne.com for a lot of answers. The text below was taking from the "what causes acne" section of their page: "It's not your fault. Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by anything you're doing --- what you eat, how often you wash your face or work out --- but by a combination of factors at work far beneath the surface of your skin.

A blemish begins approximately 2--3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles --- the tiny holes commonly called pores. Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin's natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin.

But sloughing is different for everyone. Some people shed cells evenly; some don't. Uneven shedding causes dead cells to become sticky, clumping together to form a plug --- much like a cork in a bottle. This plug, or comedo, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle.

The plug traps oil and bacteria within the follicle, which begins to swell as your skin continues its normal oil production. Your body then attacks the bacteria with a busy swarm of white blood cells. The whole process takes 2--3 weeks, culminating in a pimple."
