Can eating a very low-fat diet help with oily skin?

I have oily skin and I was wondering if a low-fat diet would help this. I know eating certain oils can help with dry skin but does this work the other way, i.e. less dietary oil = less oily skin. I guess this is a biochemistry question. Does the body synthesise sebum from nutrients other than dietary fat?Can eating a very low-fat diet help with oily skin?
yes it does work the other way around. i have oily skin too but when i go on a diet and eat less oily food and for example PEANUT BUTTER that i love, my face started to be less oily and better. hope this helpsCan eating a very low-fat diet help with oily skin?
lol yes. Fries, Chips ect have the bad oils in them, the cooked greasy types = vegetable/animal fat. Stay away from greasy junk foods, CHOCOLATE stay well away from that makes ur skin oily, basically stay away from fried foods they really get the skin going = pimples, oiley face ect.
I don't know for sure. But it seems a low fat diet can help with practically anything.





I say go for it, and drink plenty of water.





Sorry if this did not completely answer your question
From what I understand, unless you're rubbing your oily food on your face it's not going to make a significant difference.
yes and no if the oily skin is dietary then yes but alot of people have oily skin due to genetics. does anyone in your family have oily skin? that being said cutting out fatty/oily foods probily would help also washing your face with a mild astringent helped me with myne
no, sebum production has nothing to do with types of foods consumed


drink plenty of water, don't over stimulate the skin when you cleanse,


try adding peppermint to your bath water.
