There had been a long debate on the impact of chocolates on the acne resulting in the imbalance in the BMI (Basal Metabolic Index), glucose level, hormonal level, glycaemic index and emotional stress. These various factors are also found to impact on the acne (Sinkevich & Zhukovich, 2016). In addition, with the change in the diet, the acne condition has worsened.
