Now, thankfully you don't have to give up on your chicken popcorn, fries or burgers! The healthier and safer alternative is to move to baked food. Simply swap the fried snacks with the healthier baked version of the same food. You can now easily find baked potato chips and fries and can have them too without even worrying about acne. Baked foods require your snacks to have just a light coat of oil to bake, rather than being dipped in fatty oils.

If you are willing to eat healthy and achieve clear skin, you could try replacing potatoes for sweet potatoes. Just keep taking one step at a time and you'll surely ace it!
