Rapid glucose spikes happen when blood sugar rises very quickly after eating highly refined, high glycemic foods.

Oil Production & Acne
Large insulin spikes can increase oil production and worsen acne in susceptible people. This is one reason high sugar diets are often associated with worse skin quality.

One of the biggest issues is glycation.
Excess glucose can bind to collagen and elastin, forming compounds called AGEs. Over time this will reduce:
