Cutting One Food Worked Wonders for Her Adult Acne
Adult acne has been estimated to affect anywhere from 40 to 55 percent of the adult population aged 20 to 40. Understandably, not a lot of people want to talk about adult acne, especially since it’s usually seen as an embarrassing problem that affects teens. But now, one woman is bravely speaking out about her experience with adult acne—and more importantly, how she’s treating it.
Rachel Crawley was bullied growing up and she never wanted anyone to see her without makeup. But now, at age 22, she wants everyone to see her breakouts and scars, and how she’s clearing them up. Amazingly enough, she found that the most effective way to clear them up was by changing the way she was eating.

Crawley began to experiment by cutting certain foods out of her diet. And by doing so, she discovered that sugar was the main culprit behind her horrible breakouts. She began to eliminate foods with sugar and also upped her fat intake with healthy fats, and started seeing incredible results in a matter of days. Her 7-week progress picture pretty much speaks for itself.
Now, Crawley suspects that a vegan diet might be the best one for her skin. Ever since she made the discovery about sugar affecting her skin so much, she’s been piling her plates with plenty of vegetables. But don’t worry, even though she’s cut the sugar out, she still gets to treat herself with delicious goodies like raw cacao and peanut butter bites.
