Coffee and Acne - Does Coffee Cause Acne or Can You Drink it All Day?

Coffee has become a very popular beverage in recent years, especially for teenagers and university students. This is largely due to companies like Starbucks making fancy types of coffees. The question for this article is whether coffee can increase acne or not.

First let us talk just coffee by itself. The main cause for concern of coffee on its own is the caffeine contained in it. What is caffeine exactly? It is a stimulant. Unfortunately, acne sufferers tend to react rather strongly to stimulants. You can see the specific problems about caffeine on our acne and caffeine related page. Essentially, caffeine intake is never helpful for someone trying to clear their skin naturally. Now, often people who drink coffee drink quite a lot of it and this exacerbates the problem. It can also become an addiction. If you can't stop consuming all caffeine for an entire week without any side effects (headaches, feeling lightheaded, etc.), then your body has some level of physical addiction to the substance.

The second problematic aspect of coffee is that generally people have a tendency to call what they are drinking coffee when it is not. What it actually is is a tablespoon of sugar, hydrogenated oil filled creamer, corn syrup filled flavor enhancers, or aspartame replacements. In other words, the ingredients most problematic for those struggling with acne. This mixture is what people call coffee. People call it simply a coffee to cover up all the unhealthy ingredients they are consuming and to appear modern and trendy.

This type of "coffee" drink is going to cause a lot of problems for anyone consistently consuming it, and for the acne sufferer their skin will never be clear. This kind of drink needs to be eliminated completely.

If you are one of the very few who drinks only black coffee with absolutely never any additive, I would say it is certainly possible to be clear doing so. You may want to stop drinking it altogether to see if you have any physical addiction to it (likely). However, black coffee itself is not an awful thing to consume. You just need to determine how sensitive you are to it. Some acne sufferers have very strong reactions to caffeine. In fact when most people truly cut out all caffeine and sugar for a full month and then try one of them again, everyone's body will react quite strongly to these substances.
