“Drinking too much of certain beverages can also do more harm than good. Milk, an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients, in excess can cause unwanted pimples. Milk and other dairy products contain growth factors and hormones (regardless of organic status) that can increase oil production and cause pore blockage when in excess. Drinks high in sugar such as soda can also cause the skin to grow over and block pores as well as stimulate oil production, also potentially increasing acne breakouts. In terms of wrinkles, drinking sugary beverages increase the production of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), which damage collagen and elastin over time resulting in accelerated skin aging,” Friedman says.
