If you suffer from acne, stay clear of dairy protein and food with a high glycaemic index. Especially during the long cold winter months, we tend to nibble on "comfort food", such as cakes, chocolates and other sweeties. However, those have a high glycaemic index which can make existing acne even worse. Honey and sweetened fruit yoghurt should also be avoided, for the same reason, Whereas animal protein, like chicken, beef, lamb as well as plant protein (soya) don't seem to have a negative impact on acne.
It is also very important to make sure that the skin does not dry out, especially when exposed to the cold winter wind or dry climates, like in offices etc. Don't use soap to wash the affected skin, to make sure that the skin does not get even drier. Use a ph-neutral face wash instead, and apply a good day cream with a high content of fruit-acid which helps to prevent the outbreak of acne altogether.
