Recently I was reading Dr. B's posts on skin guru on how diet can cause acne. Its pretty fascinating. it really cleared some question I had but have raised my curiosity about something.

In the article she said and I quote,

".......That's because these foods have a high glycemic index, meaning they cause your blood sugar to rise, forcing your body to bring it down with a surge of insulin. The insulin stimulates oil-producing hormones called androgens, leaving you with pimples." She continues,

"..... I also recommend that patients avoid dairy products, including cheese and yogurt. Though the evidence isn't quite as clear yet, research has found that people who drink more milk are more likely to experience breakouts"

So my question is does it mean that eating dairy food and other starchy food can help people with dry skin ?

Here is the article I am talking about.
