Does coffee cause acne? QUITTING COFFEE for 30 days for my skin & hormones… Caffeine and Acne

[@vipra_vaishnava]

I'm a very fair looking guy. Got addicted to drinking coffee for 6 months straight. Ever since i began drinking coffee, My skin tone became darker & i got lots of wrinkles. My skin looked lifeless. I just cut out coffee & after 30 days my skin started to glow, wrinkles gone. Skin is very hydrated & younger :) also 2x stronger Hair growth.

[@emmythenthen4430]

I noticed a difference in 30 days also

[@rinany5651]

:/i thinking about to cut it out completely from my morning ritual!! bye coffee

[@monkeydunkey1]

I just figured out today my trigger for acne was coffee. I woke up this morning with only 1 small pimple and tonight I had 14 new cyst pimples and tons of small bumps along with Red skin. I used to drink coffee all the time and had no idea it was what was triggering my acne. Since I started eating less I wasn't drink any coffee until today. And boom my skin was red

[@LaurelWhidden]

I am considering cutting out coffee for my health. How do you deal with caffeine withdrawals? (I am a full time college student in a lot of difficult stem classes)

[@brittanykeller1086]

I loved drinking coffee (but only had 1 a day). My anxiety was almost unbearable for years. Often times I was in fight or flight mode with butterflies and a racing heart, even when I was worried about absolutely nothing. I never thought it was from the coffee until I stopped drinking it when I started traveling and my anxiety became so much more manageable. Now I drink a green tea in the morning to get a little bit of caffeine and if I’m craving a coffee I just have decaf. The decaf does have a small effect on me but so small in comparison to a regular cup.

[@MadisonDohnt]

100%! I had a very similar realisation - anxiety is a huge part. I found that even though having a coffee at the start of the work day would make me more productive, it would also make me more anxious of business decisions and whether I was progressing fast enough and all of that fun stuff... haha Glad you've found an alternative that works for you! :)

[@sadizm]

omg it could be it for me too.. Im 37 and first time i had a major breakout, i always have 2 full cups of coffee. Im gonna try quitting it now

[@kennethornieta2375]

​@@sadizm how did it went?

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

😱 It never even crossed my mind that coffee could be what’s potentially causing my cystic acne! Especially on my chin & cheek area 😭💀 I always have a cup of coffee every single morning, it’s become a part of my daily routine! ☕️ I’m almost 30 & my skin has never been this bad before… I’m going to try to give up coffee for a week & see if I notice any difference in my skin. 🙌🏼 Thank you for this video! Super helpful & informative ❤️

[@bigtrubs6173]

Let me know how it goes!? Please

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

@@bigtrubs6173 I actually ended up going on Tretinoin and that has helped me tremendously! I've been on it for about 4 months now & it's made a huge difference in my cystic acne, especially on my chin. I also get to continue to drink my coffee, w/ no problem (:

[@shalon2cute]

I drank coffee for a a week straight back to back and too often . My face went nuts . And still is . The sugar and acidic contents . I have to quit cold turkey just like I did sugary drinks and sodas a long time ago . I drank naked smoothie for 3 days straight my face got so bad . I’m stopping .

[@paprjaapurvam2465]

In middle of drinking coffee and watching should i quit coffee videos... I feel like a toxic ex of coffee !

[@florali9996]

i used to drink coffee everyday andy face my still clear but recently, my skin has been getting so bad so i’m gonna try and cut out coffee. also oat milk is the best 😌

[@josephthomas8461]

Heyyy how has it been?

[@MadisonDohnt]

Thanks for watching team! Have you tried cutting out coffee? How'd you go and what benefits have you seen?

[@Predictable1]

I did yes. My cystic acne disappeared. I still have the scars to deal with though.

[@tamaraboreland6131]

Currently pregnant and I’ve always suffered with acne. My first trimester could not stomach coffee and my skin has been so good, which is funny because most people say your skin gets worse in pregnancy especially first trimester.

[@MadisonDohnt]

How interesting is that! How did you used to have your coffee? I'm guessing you're not going back to coffee after pregnancy? haha

[@tamaraboreland6131]

I’ve been having a coffee here and there like if I go out with a friend I’ll have one now that I’m starting to feel better. I used to have either a long black or almond milk in my coffee and only one a day! Bit crazy what a difference it makes.

When I was pregnant with my baby boy my skin was so clear and I was glowing, but when I got pregnant with a girl my acne got so bad, my whole face was covered..

[@jacquelinetodd6399]

Thank you so much. I started drinking coffee a few months ago. I started drinking way too much at work. I started breaking out so bad and couldn't figure out why. Thank you, I'm cutting it out starting now.

[@freedomfighter9976]

I have only black coffee ☕️ I’ve quit everything apart of this maybe it’s the missing link I have huge cysts on my chin so I know it’s from hormones I’ve been drinking 2 coffees everyday could it be the cause I hope so then I will know how to stop this nightmare

Could always try it and listen to your body :)

Is it just refined sugars that cause inflammation? Fruit sugars are okay, right?

What if person has low blood pressure issues, stress, hormonal acne (no PCOS). Asking cuz low bp ppl need to take coffee and chocolate. Help me out over this query

[@CamCam99206]

I watched this as I randomly have such bad cystic acne that won't go away & the only thing I can think of is drinking more coffee/oat lattes esp during lockdown. Tried even switching from instant to organic ground but no change🥴 Dairy doesn't help either so I've almost cut that out. But looks like the coffee's gonna have to go :'(((

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Omg same! Did it make a difference?

[@sweetwithsass1232]

is it possible to drink decaf without issues?

[@phugh3878]

sometimes i have 50-55 days cycle and other times it's 35-38 days and i don't know why

[@MadisonDohnt]

It would definitely be depending on your root cause and what is going on in your body. You are likely not ovulating. Do you find your cycle is longer in more stressful months? I'll be doing a video on reducing stress soon and my ebook coming out next month will explain your cycle and hormones and teach you how to listen to your body and make your hormones happy :)

[@mahafadaaq5900]

THANK YOU !! I was thinking that coffee caused me red acne in my face ! And you just introdused the proofs, Thank You From Saudi Arabia❤️😘

[@vibekesolem21]

Not related to coffee or acne, but I have been watching many of your videos (btw thank you for all the info you're putting out!). Last night I was watching this movie on HBO about vampires and then you're in it?! I have been rewinding a million times to see if it's actually you, I need answers!

[@Chloe-nq7mn]

I used to drink coffee everyday, but I now try to only drink it every few days and most of the time I pick decaf coffee and not caffeinated. Always with almond, coconut or macadamia milk. Do you think decaf is okay or do you still think the acidity has an effect? I do love at least having a cup of earl grey a day (or sometimes two or three)! I have heard that tea is slower releasing though? Do you think one a day still has an effect like coffee? Xx

[@MadisonDohnt]

That's awesome! I definitely have to do more research on the acidity effect. For the most part, the caffeine, milk and sugar will play the biggest role. How do you find the taste of macadamia milk? I'll have to try it! I've heard multiple times that tea has more caffeine than coffee but I personally don't feel it at all. Again, something to do more research on I guess and just listen to your body xx

[@Chloe-nq7mn]

Madison Dohnt I love macadamia milk! Only very few cafes use it, but I think it’s naturally a bit creamer and sweeter... without as many additives or sugar! I’ll sometimes buy the Macmilk from Coles to make coffee or tea from home as well. Thank you! Tea something I might need to trial and error with a bit more to see if it has an effect

[@louisekift3716]

Thank you this has been so useful I also have pcos and have been struggling with my skin. I cut out dairy but I've only just given up coffee. Hoping this will help xxxx thank you

[@sreyapal8958]

Can you recommend a good non-caffeine green tea ? Also can you throw some light on Dandy Blend which i heard is a popular coffee alternative .

[@MadisonDohnt]

For the moment I just find a reputable brand at the supermarket. Dandelion tea also definitely has a great range of benefits although, I personally don't like the taste - have you tried it?

[@fleishia]

I know you did a video before on Eco by Sonya , I was just wondering if you’ve tried other products like the cleanser or the glory oil ? If so I would love to hear you opinion!

[@vanessagomez9685]

What about decaf ? Do you think that’ll be better ?

[@MadisonDohnt]

That's actually one of the tips ;) You just have to be conscious of the milk and sugar too though

Cortisol raises testosterone? It's the opposite, cortisol reduces your test levels. I agree though, coffee makes my skin look way worse, green tea actually makes my skin look better though

[@MadisonDohnt]

It's both :) And yes, green tea actually targets 3 of 4 factors of acne, so it's a winner both internally and topically!

[@danielt5955]

Awesome 👍 thank you!

[@zsofiaandalics2863]

I wouldn't recommend soya milk either though. It does increase estrogen, right?

[@XXMissChanelleXX]

That's what I've found out through research as well!

[@malenevinther]

This is a myth. Soy has been vilified in the early 2000s by studies showing that soy disrupted male hormones in mice, these effects were never demonstrated in humans. While still debated, newer studies show that the phytoestrogens in soy actually block estrogen absorption, by taking up their place in our body’s estrogen-receptors. Results of recent population studies suggest that soy has either a beneficial or neutral effect on various health conditions.

[@maebuckingham1851]

Thank you for this!!

I've been binge watching your chanell for the last days 😍 absolutely love all the science based arguments about acne. But I have one question 🧐 - what about decaf coffee? Since it 'shouldn't' have stress hormones in it 🙄
