Natural Remedies for Acne
If you are affected by acne, you know how awful it can be! It is not only physically painful but can also have an emotional toll. There are many medications for acne, but they don't always work for everyone. If this is the case, you may consider trying home remedies for acne.
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.
In addition, one can look to nutrition to help with acne.
Vitamin A is essential for the well being of your skin. Too little of this vitamin will produce rough skin. Vitamin A also inhibits some of the production of sebum, the oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands. Too much sebum in the skin creates the blockages in your pores that creates 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:
It is easy to get an abundance of the above vitamins and minerals through juicing specific fruits and vegetables. Juicing has much more to offer. It can hydrate the skin and detoxify all the body's cells and cleanse the system.
