Having acne problems? Stop drinking milk
I must admit I have never been a milk or dairy lover. I take my coffee black, rarely eat cheese or dairy spreads, for the simple fact that it disgusts me to eat something that came out of a cow. Maybe that's why I never had any real acne problem.

You see, there were many researches done to correlate milk with acne. And although French fries potato chips and chocolate can't break out your face, it seems milk can:
"We found a positive association with acne for intake of total milk and skim milk. We
hypothesize that the association with milk may be because of the presence of hormones and bioactive molecules in milk."
says a report after a study which included almost 4500 women.

Which might those hormones and bioactive molecules be? According to MilkSucks website and some additional studies:
"Dr. Jerome K. Fisher conducted a clinical study of 1,088 teen-age patients over 10 years and reported to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients' acne. Dr. Fisher found that their acne tapered off as their milk consumption did.
Dr. Fisher noted that dairy products often contain large amounts of butterfat and milk sugar, both of which, he believed, aggravate acne. He also suspected that the high volume of hormones produced naturally in the milk of pregnant cows may break down into androgenlinks when consumed, which in turn stimulates the production of sebum, the waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands that clogs pores and creates acne when the pores become infected."

To conclude, if you want to have perfect skin, pass the dairy, and leave milk to calves - who it was initially intended for. I you want to read what else milk is bad for, surf over to Milk Sucks PeTA website, I was surprised to find out that by drinking milk and eating dairy you risk having osteoporosis, cancer, Gas and other scary disease.

And we thought that milk was healthy!
