Does soda cause acne? The simple answer is yes. Drinking pop can lead to breakouts. You may be surprised. For the longest time, acne companies, dermatologists, and everyone else related said that drinking cola won't cause you to break out. I'm not saying I'm more knowledgable than these people, but I can say that they're wrong. Just see my post: Acne and diet. By reading it, you will see that the foods you eat, can play a role in whether or not you will get acne.
Why does drinking pop lead to breakouts?
Consuming these carbonated beverages can be very dehydrating to the body. Dehydration is directly linked to acne. Basically, soda is filled with caffeine and sugar. It more advanced terms, it's a diuretic (Associated Content). When consumed, soda will make you very dehydrated making your acne even worse (Acne LTD).
Although I have known this for quite some time, I wanted to link to other articles to prove to you that I'm not some crazy dude making things up.
What do I do now?
Stop drinking soda. Instead, drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. It's really as simple as that. If you start drinking water, your body will stay hydrated. When your body is hydrated, your skin will be less prone to acne.
