Talk about the Sunday Scaries after a weekend of eating food that you know breaks you out. ⁠ ⁠ Dairy is one of those things that generally mess our skin up within 24 hours. You can see it on your chin where you’d have a goatee. ⁣⁣⁠ ⁣⁣⁠ Sad but true 😩⁣⁣⁠ ⁣⁣⁠ Dairy has IGF’s (insulin-like growth factors), which means it’s loaded with messenger hormones from a giant cow that tells your hair follicle to go nuts, leading to extra oil, inflammation, and next-day acne.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Lactose-free & organic milk don’t cut it either, so just know that. Both of those variations may be healthier for you but still have the same problematic hormones.⁣⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ Whey protein is the ABSOLUTE WORST for skin and can lead to insane cystic breakouts on the back & body. Super important to avoid whey protein! ⁣⁠ ⁣⁣⁠ Everyone has a different level of dairy tolerance, so we always suggest having it no more than once a week and sticking to goat cheese (hormones are less intense with goat cheese). ⁣⁣⁠ ⁣⁣⁠ If you are the type whose skin just does NOT like dairy (*us raising our hands rn*) then sit tight because we have something dropping real soon 👀 that will help you enjoy the foods you love more often AND wake up to clearer skin! ⁣⁣✨⁠
