Many studies have shown that excess dairy intake leads to acne development, specifically between the ages of 7 and 30. Having control over the consumption of milk, curd, butter, ghee, cheese, and more triggers hormonal and inflammatory responses in the body, leading to excess oil production and clogged pores. This may vary by product and individual, as a person’s genetics and hormones play a vital role, as does the type of dairy being consumed. Also, some people are lactose intolerant, so in such cases, the acne issues can also be connected to lactose sensitivity.
