    TLDR Too much sugar harms skin, causing wrinkles and acne, but a low-sugar diet can help.
    Excessive sugar consumption harms skin health by causing glycation, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances, leading to reduced skin elasticity, wrinkles, and worsening conditions like acne and psoriasis. A low-glycemic index diet may help prevent and treat these skin issues. Future research should focus on understanding these mechanisms and creating dietary guidelines to improve skin health.
