Does Chocolate Really Cause Pimples?

Despite decades of research, there has been little proof that single foods like chocolate directly cause pimples. But that doesn't mean that diet has no influence on how your skin looks. It's more likely that the sugar and dairy in your chocolate are to blame for new pimples or breakouts than the cocoa itself.

Studies reveal that cocoa beans used in high-quality dark chocolates are an excellent source of antioxidants. Antioxidants actually benefit your skin as they limit the production of free radicals that are bad for your skin. So opt for chocolate that has a high percentage of cocoa. This way you will avoid the high sugar and dairy content, and help keep those breakouts at bay.
