Skin Triggers

To figure out if a food is a trigger, first start an “Elimination Diet.”
Eat whole grains, simply prepared protein (fish, chicken, beef) and steamed veggies (carrots, sweet potato, boy choy, string beans, etc.)
Then add in the foods to be tested for 3 days.

Often these foods are HUGE triggers:

Nuts, especially tree nuts (peanuts seem to be the worst.)

Shellfish.

Nightshade vegetables: Peppers, eggplant and especially cooked tomato.

Tropical fruits: Mango, papaya, kiwi, banana, avocado, and strawberries. (Better choice is watermelon, apples, pears, some berries, NOT strawberries.)

Fermented foods: Vinegar, miso, beer, wine.

And for some people sensitivity to eggs, dairy, wheat, corn, soy, etc.

Other triggers:

Caffeine

Alcohol

Sugar

Smoking

Drugs

Always use caution when experimenting with what you are consuming.

Be careful to always wean yourself slowing.
