The Keto Diet and Skin Concerns: A Little Q & A

Q: Can the Keto diet cause acne outbreaks?

A: Actually quite the opposite is true. By cutting drastically down on carbs, you’re in essence ridding your body of inflammation causing simple sugars. Inflammation is a huge acne trigger. So, no, the keto diet generally doesn’t cause acne outbreaks and can even promote smoother skin.

Q: If I eat a higher fat diet, will this make my skin oily and more prone to certain skin conditions?

A: While the keto diet involves eating a diet high in fat content, this does not detrimentally affect your skin. Particularly if you’re focused on good fats such as those with omega 3s, this can actually help to soothe irritated or sensitive skin.

Q: Is there such a thing a Keto rash?

A: When it comes to the keto diet and skin concerns, yes, there is something known as the keto rash. Those in the very early stages of ketosis may experience a rash that eventually subsides—this is however fairly rare among people following a keto diet.
