A lot! Sugars are wrinkle makers. Sugar permanently attaches to the collagen in your skin through a process known as glycation.
Your Skin’s Enemy Foods
Simple carbohydrates are the worst offenders: white bread, candy, fried food, ice cream, fruit juice, pasta, ketchup, jam, pizza, sugar (white and brown), spaghetti, packaged snacks and sodas. Let’s face it – almost every processed food has sugar in these days.
How exactly does it damage your skin?
The sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins to produce harmful free radicals called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). As AGEs accumulate and damage the proteins around them. The proteins that are most vulnerable to damage are those that serve as the building blocks for your skin: collagen and elastin. These proteins keep skin firm and elastic and are responsible for the plump and characteristics of a healthy and youthful complexion. The AGEs break down collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles.
Besides the damage to your skin’s essential proteins, AGEs deactivate your body’s natural antioxidant enzymes. Without protection from antioxidants, your skin is more vulnerable to the free radical damage caused by the environment such as pollution, and UV rays. This contributes to premature aging of your skin.
