Glycation (when sugar attaches to protein or fat), causes skin aging.
Avoid all sugar, and carbohydrates (which all break down into sugar), and you will achieve the healthiest, smoothest, most youthful skin you've ever had in your life.

Carbohydrates supply your body with glucose, which your cells use as main source of energy. Certain complex carbohydrates, like fiber, also feed your gut microbiome.
The microbes in your gut break down fiber into short-chain fatty acids. These are important for your health and help with blood sugar, blood fat, and appetite control, and they feed your microbiome to boost your immune system.
"Your cells need glucose for energy"
Correct, BUT: your body creates the optimal amount of glucose it needs ALL BY ITSELF through gluconeogenesis (about one teaspoon across your entire bloodstream).
Any extra sugar/carbs you add to this equation screws up the balance your body has evolved to maintain, forcing it to jack up insulin to bring the blood sugar back down to where it wants, and damaging all of your cells in the process (as well as preventing the process of autophagy from ocurring—the natural recycling of dead cells to be replaced with new ones)
And fiber, oh fiber...
Fiber does zero benefit for you at all; it's just bulk. Makes you shit more and damages your GI tract since it's completely indigestable by humans. If you're lucky, you might win Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or Leaky Gut!
Notice how the reasoning here is that since fiber clogs up your whole digestive process, that "helps with blood sugar". Why would you not REMOVE the spiked blood sugar in the first place, so there's no need to throw more problems at your body just to "slow down the damage" caused by the other problems you've created?
Eliminating the blood sugar-spiking carbohydrates makes your cells happy & keeps insulin levels low, and removing the fiber makes your digestion as happy as can be.
Zero of both is optimal for your health. Period.

In general, there are no specific insulin levels that doctors and scientists consider “normal.”
Having a high or low concentration of insulin in your blood could be normal for you. Or, it could point to a medical issue, depending on what else is going on.
Insulin prompts your cells to store glycogen, glucagon triggers your liver to convert glycogen into glucose and release it when your diet is low in carbs.
Together, these different substances help balance your blood sugar and energy levels.
