Acne Home Remedies
Anyone who has suffered from acne knows how scarring it can be both physically and emotionally. Not everybody reacts well to the medications currently on the market for acne. In this case, it might be worth looking into a home remedy for acne or alternative methods.
Foods high in saturated fat and also foods high in sugar and refined carbs are a possible cause of acne. Although some people don't agree on this, there is a lot of evidence pointing in this direction.
As for grease - well if you surf the internet on this subject - you will find many people who will tell you that cutting down on grease made a big difference for them. Also there are many who will tell you that lack of sleep and stress will bring about flare ups.
Personally, I think it is a good idea to avoid these foods as one aspect of your acne treatment to see if it can help. Also, these foods should be avoided for a variety of other health reasons.
Fortunately there is something less controversial - and that is nutrition for healthy skin.
Vitamin A is needed to protect the skin. A deficiency of vitamin A can lead to rough, dry and cracked skin. Furthermore, it helps reduce the production of sebum. Too much sebum production is one fundamental cause of acne.
Vitamin E is one of the many antioxidants essential for a strong immune system. Vitamin E in conjunction with vitamin A has healing effects for the skin. So both these vitamins are found in many skin care products. Also like vitamin A, vitamin E helps to inhibit some of the production of sebum.
Zinc can be helpful in preventing inflammation and flare ups in the skin. Zinc is also an important mineral needed for skin to heal and to reduce the effects of scarring.
Juicing:
Vitamins A and E and the mineral zinc can be found in many fruits and vegetables in high quantities. Berries, carrots, broccoli and dark leafy greens are all great sources of these nutrients. Juicing is also hydrating, which is important for good skin.
