Do you have acne? That must be hard. But wait there is still
hope.
Read the following tips for getting rid of that problem:
1. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. You can
easily create juices and smoothies using ripe fruit or consume one
salad daily, even as just a side dish. You can also pop in nuts
and dried fruits in between meals.
Brazil nuts have selenium while pumpkin seeds contain zinc both
these minerals are lacking in people with acne. So take in lots of
these two.
2. Try to drink at least two liters of still mineral water
daily. When the skin is dehydrated, dead skin cells remain on the
skin which may block pores and promote acne.
3. If you have been prescribed antibiotics to control your
acne, remember that antibiotics destroy all kinds of bacteria in
your digestive tract even good bacteria. Without good bacteria,
you will have poor digestion, constipation, and be less able to
absorb essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
This, in turn, may lead to increased acne production since your
body cannot expel waste effectively. Toxins pass through your skin
instead. To prevent this from occurring, replace the good bacteria
in your digestive tract with a good quality probiotic.
4. You may try consuming some supplements since your diet may
not incorporate every vitamin, mineral and nutrient necessary to
getting and keeping clear skin. Some supplements are really
helpful to people with acne, such as:
• Maca This is a powdered root vegetable from Peru that
balances and stabilizes the systems of your body while normalizing
hormones. Maca also has a lot of essential amino acids,
phytochemicals, fatty acids, and minerals such as iodine, silica,
potassium, iron, magnesium and calcium.
• Manuka honey This one possesses strong antibiotic,
antiviral and antiseptic elements. It is great for the skin, as
well as for digestive disorders.
5. Rely only on natural skin-care products. Many skin-care
products on supermarket shelves have chemicals which can worsen
your acne. Too many chemicals can strip your skin of its natural
oils, meaning the skin will overproduce oil to compensate thus
blocking your pores and causing more acne to show up.
Use only products with natural ingredients or try to use fewer
products to allow your skin to naturally heal.
Should you wear makeup, use formulas that are listed as
non-acnegenic or non-comedogenic.
Some products you can use are:
• Tea tree oil body wash This product can be used for the
entire body, including the face.
• Tea tree oil This product has antiseptic, antiviral and
antibacterial functions. It is remarkable for use by acne
sufferers. Use a cotton bud to apply this product to the acne
blemishes.
• Neem soap This product is very good for acne victims due
to its antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral
and antibacterial properties. It also calms and soothes irritated
skin.
6. Cut down on stress as this acts as one of the strongest
precursors of acne, especially after puberty. There are different
ways you can reduce stress and aim for relaxation:
• Exercise Moderate exercise such as Yoga and Tai Chi
improve skin blood flow and support the healing process. It also
boosts the condition of your internal organs which allows them to
eliminate waste more effectively.
• Try relaxation techniques including meditation and
breathing exercises.
7. Cut down on your consumption of sugar and refined
carbohydrates. Recent research has shown that eating these foods
triggers a process which leads to a production of too many male
hormones. In turn, the skin is moved to excrete huge amounts of
sebum which fosters the increase in skin bacteria – that triggers
acne.
8. Lessen your consumption of caffeine because it hikes the
level of stress hormones in the body, thus making acne worse.
9. Cut down on dairy and red meat products because these are
difficult to digest and raise acid levels in the body. As you try
to digest huge amounts of animal protein in your internal organs,
your body cannot eliminate waste products well and these will be
released through the skin causing acne.
In addition, dairy and red meat have huge amounts of hormones.
These raise the hormone levels in the body and trigger even more
acne. Furthermore, symptoms of intolerance to dairy products can
crop up as acne.
10. Get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Sunshine triggers the
production of Vitamin D which is essential to having healthy skin.
Fresh air and sunshine will cut down on your stress levels and
course oxygen through the skin. Learn to tell the amount of
sunshine you need every day though, it does not help to get burnt
in the sun.
