it's mega genetic and depends on your ability to process sugar.

I just ate half a pie filled with chocolate, raisins and cranberries for example, let me go check my blood sugar right now.
not really. i've been eating like shit for a week or 2 and my skin quality is the same although it may differ from person to person.

although not sleeping well for a day fucks with your skin quality like crazy from personal experience

Used to think that during puberty, puberty almost finished and I consume 100-300 grams of sugar per day without any skin issues. Sugar messes with your skin only if you’re hormones are messed or if you’re prone to acne.

I didn't eat salt and sugar for 3 months and the quality of my skin improved. Some of the comedones went away. The black spots on my nose are gone.

still within the fasted range for a normal person.

the people that have adverse skin reactions are those that have significant sugar spikes in their blood, often being in the pre-diabetic range.

Short term it depends on you.
Long term it absolutely will cause glycation and fuck up your skin/cause wrinkling/cross linking.
Glycation is an irreversible reaction between proteins/fats and sugars, and it is non-enzymatic., so it basically just happens on its own. It can be mitigated by avoiding advanced glycation end products in the diet, keeping blood sugar low, and consuming compounds that protect against it like carnosine, but mote sugar always means more glycation.
