You finally start eating clean again, maybe even drinking more water, sleeping a little better… and then boom, you cave and have a latte, some mac & cheese, or a slice of pizza. The next morning? Tiny bumps, a few red spots, and skin that feels inflamed, irritated, or just angry.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. So many people swear their skin has a direct hotline to dairy and the truth is, science agrees. Let’s break down what’s really going on (and how to calm the chaos).
What’s the deal with dairy and breakouts?
Dairy is triggering for our skin (and other places too) and here’s why:
- Hormones and growth factors:
Cow’s milk comes from pregnant cows and thus contains estrogen hormones that can stimulate IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). That little molecule ramps up sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores and acne flare-ups. - Inflammation overload:
Since cow’s milk is an unnatural liquid for humans, our guts don’t break down dairy proteins very well. These proteins called casein and whey-the watery part of milk after it has been curdled to make cheese, can trigger an inflammatory response. That inflammation doesn’t just stay in your digestive tract, it travels. And guess what organ is your largest detox pathway? Your skin which becomes red and pimply. - Blood sugar roller coaster:
Some dairy products, especially sweetened lattes or yogurts, spike blood sugar. When insulin rises, oil glands go into overdrive, which is another recipe for congestion and breakouts.
So when our skin freaks out after dairy, it’s sending a signal that our own gut and hormones are out of balance.
The gut–skin connection (a love story gone wrong)
Your gut and your skin are in constant conversation. When our gut is digesting fiber from grains, fruits and vegetables, our skin glows. When its triggered by milk and cheese, its response is to become inflamed, overworked and send stress signals that show up as:
- Acne and breakouts
- Redness or rosacea
- Dull, uneven tone
- Dry patches or flaky texture
It’s not surface-level skincare that fixes this, it’s healing from within by not eating the trigger foods of milk, yogurt, ice cream or cheese. And eating the complex whole foods like potatoes, rice, beans, corn, oatmeal and grains.
The good news: you can repair it
Our skin isn’t unpredictable. It’s just trying to detox through the only route it knows when our gut is overwhelmed. The goal is to give our digestion a break and rebuild our gut lining so it can handle what life throws your way.
That’s where Boon Broth comes in.

When your gut calms down, your skin follows. You’ll notice:
