Dessert remedies for Acne

We all know that most desserts can cause acne due to the high volume of sugars and carbohydrates in cakes, cookies, ice cream, chocolate and other unfortunately delicious treats. Of course if you eat a slice of cake for example, you might not see a difference. But a few more slices, that would depend on your body and some people will certainly notice and feel a difference in their skin. There are however ways to resolve a sweet tooth which is not only safe for your skin but will also improve your acne and parts of your body.

Green (Mung) bean dessert

Green beans (also known as Mung beans) has properties to remove the inner heat, similar to Green Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea. To prepare the Green beans, first wash and strain it like washing rice. Boil a pot of hot water and add the Green beans. Lower the temperature and slowly cook the Green beans for about an hour or until you see the beans open up. Afterwards to add flavor, either use soya milk with cane sugar or honey. Soya bean milk not only have isoflavones to prevent testosterone from being converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) resulting in breakouts, but some soya milk will also have lecithin which gives nutrition to your brain for improving memory. Keep in mind, Red beans on the contrary does not have the same properties as Green beans and will put stress to your liver. So be careful and avoid the Red bean with icecream dessert drinks in most restaurants. Green bean with hot soya milk, is a good way to keep warm and enjoy the winter rather than drinking hot chocolate. But since it’s the summer, it tastes just as good when served chilled. You can also add some small chunks of watermelon to also help fight acne while giving the drink more texture, and a pinch (only a pinch) of coconut powder to give it a unique smell and taste.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
