Marine based ingredients and foods are high in iodides. Iodides irritate the follicle lining and contribute to acne breakouts. Check your personal care products, supplements and your diet for these acne offenders.
Many makeup companies are now using plankton and algae extracts for anti-aging benefits but they’re a big no no for acne. Always check the ingredient deck!
Supplements such as vitamins, meal replacement shakes and green drinks commonly contain algae, kelp and seaweed. Read the packaging!
Many skin care products and those peel off alginate masks contain these acne offenders as well. Foods like sushi, shrimp, etc are all high in iodides. Skip the sushi and enjoy fresh fish like wild caught salmon and cod.
