Eating chocolate will make your acne worse.
1 of 5
Contrary to popular belief, eating chocolate will not make your acne condition worse. What can make it worse is what kind of chocolate you have; milk chocolate contains sugar and dairy products such as milk which could wreak havoc for people who are acne-prone.
