There’s still much debate about a possible link between diet and acne, and in this case there doesn’t seem to be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution that will help everyone.
However, I think dietary change could be advised as at least one component of treatment. When it comes to acne, there’s a mountain of conflicting evidence promoting supplements and restrictive diets, but I encourage a simple approach in the first instance.
The best evidence for an acne-reducing diet is one that cuts down refined carbohydrates – white bread, pasta and quick-releasing sugars in biscuits and sweets. This could be because they spike insulin levels in the blood, causing hormonal changes leading to spots.

In other studies, skimmed milk and other dairy products appear to share a similar mechanism causing acne. That’s not to say we should remove all dairy from our diets, but it might be something worth trying. Always consult your doctor first.
Vitamin E, zinc, selenium and omega-3 may also help, but rather than popping supplements, I suggest ensuring your diet contains nuts, seeds and good-quality fats from oil and fish, plus a large selection of colourful vegetables.
People who associate acne with greasy skin may baulk at the thought of adding fats into a diet, but as acne is an inflammatory condition, good-quality fats can play an important role.
It’s particularly worth looking at foods such as brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and legumes like chickpeas and split peas as they contain zinc and selenium. Their higher fibre content also reduces blood sugar spikes that may exacerbate acne.
Split Green Pea and Pearl Barley Pan
This comforting dish provides a wealth of flavour and nutrition. The pearl barley flakes are wonderfully nutty and the split peas are a brilliant fibre-rich protein source. I’ve heightened the nutrient density of this meal-in-a-pan by using a variety of herbs and spices and including two different sources of fibre. It’s a fantastic, simple meal to make and you can easily use different pulses or beans instead of the peas.
Split Green Pea and Pearl Barley Pan: This comforting dish provides a wealth of flavour and nutrition. The pearl barley flakes are wonderfully nutty and the split peas are a brilliant fibre-rich protein source
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 50g cooked chestnuts, roughly sliced
- 15g rosemary needles, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 150g pearl barley flakes, soaked in water for 30 minutes, then drained (or wholegrain oats)
- 100g split green peas (or split yellow peas), soaked in water for 30 minutes, then drained
- 600ml hot vegetable stock
- 100g baby tomatoes, halved
- 75g spinach, roughly chopped
- 5g fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
METHOD
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, chestnuts and rosemary and sauté for 2-3 minutes, then scatter in cayenne pepper, drained pearl barley and split peas, along with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and stir for a couple of minutes.
Pour in 500ml of the vegetable stock and add the halved tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes until the split peas are cooked through.
Top up with the remaining 100ml of vegetable stock if the ingredients at the bottom of the pan are sticking slightly during cooking.
Remove from the heat, stir in the spinach and cover for a further 2 minutes to allow the leaves to wilt.
Stir and serve in bowls, scattered with the chopped parsley.
VARIATION
Use different spices to suit your taste. Two teaspoons of my Creole Spice Blend would work really well in this meal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
