Acne is a problem that doesn’t just affect teenagers, but also affects millions of adults as well. Drugs used to be the preferred method to clear up acne, but there are many natural methods that work very well. Natural methods are preferred, since the most common drugs prescribed to fight acne are antibiotics.
Long term antibiotic exposure can have serious consequences for your entire digestive system. It has also been linked to breast cancer in some studies. For this reason, it is strongly preferable that natural methods are used to attain clear, blemish free skin.
The first and most important aspect of naturally healing and clearing acne is your diet. This is no shock, since the phrase “you are what you eat” applies to just about every facet of your life. The food you put in your mouth has a direct impact on the appearance of your skin.
Diets that are high in saturated fats, salt, and sugar are especially harmful to your hormonal balance. Since almost all cases of acne are strongly linked to hormonal imbalances, it is vital that you eat a balanced diet.
Some of the best foods to eat for acne free skin are deeply colored fruits such as berries, citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges, fish, almonds, walnuts, and leafy green vegetables.
Avoid deep fried foods, all fast food, candy, cake and other sugary baked goods, and processed foods, and your skin will respond by clearing up over time.
Supplements, which help to maintain clear skin, can also be taken in addition to a hormone-balancing diet. Some of the supplements which are useful for maintaining clear, acne free skin are fish oil, vitamin B5, vitamin A, and vitamin C.
These vitamins and nutrients all have either anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties. Both antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods and vitamins are beneficial to acne prone skin. Antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals. Free radicals can damage the skin cells and hinder healthy new tissue growth, resulting in longer recovery after breakouts.
Anti-inflammatory foods and supplements help the inflammation caused by excess sebum production. By addressing both hormonal imbalance and inflammation through diet, you deal a powerful blow to this embarrassing skin condition.
Unfortunately for those that look forward to a caffeine pickup in the morning or throughout the day, coffee and other heavily caffeinated beverages can make acne worse. It is best to avoid any stimulants which stimulate the central nervous system. These types of stimulants often throw the hormones off balance and lead to more severe acne.
There are some excellent topical products that are all natural and can be used to help treat acne externally. One of the best and most effective is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has a distinct scent to it, and that is because it is a very potent antibacterial agent.
It is very helpful in the treatment of acne because acne lesions are partly caused by bacteria, which causes infection underneath the skin. When you take away the bacterial component, you have a much better chance at not breaking out and getting large, infected and painful acne lesions.
There are also some excellent natural acne soaps and cleansers that use pine tar and sulfur, both of which are excellent deep cleansing and astringent agents. Naturally derived topical acne care products are preferable to chemical products since they do not irritate and dry the skin.
I think some of the best ways to clear acne, is clearing acne naturally.
I have tried hundreds if not thousands of different remedies for acne. Rx to non-Rx. What brought me to clearer skin was a Candida Cleanse, Colon Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse and a Heavy Metal Cleanse. I am now doing H2O2 Therapy which is Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy. I ordered the H2O2 and the book called “The One Minute Cure” which describes the pennies on the dollar ways to cure many diseases just by oxygenating the system. The H2O2 I ordered from JutrianRx.com and use it everyday. I think oxygenating the body is HUGE when it comes to alkalizing the body and keeping in top shape where disease can’t exist. H2O2 also gets rid of parasites, viruses, bacteria and candida when used repeatedly. As long as your stress levels are low, H2O2 will work wonders for acne as well. Try it!
Thank you KT for your insight, knowledge and undying courage for helping others see what life is really supposed to be about.
I had acne for a long time since I was twelve and now I’m twenty one and only now I’m geting better I found that eating Mcdonalds Burger King Taco Bell etc, was causing me to break out but I still kept going back I was addicted to it. I was using Proactiv which worked great but eating so much of the junk food it couldnt heal me. Only when I broke out very very bad to the point I wanted to just give up. I prayed and I said I have to change ,finally I woke up I started to eat right using Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium and back on Proactiv and order Your Wish Is Your Command which brought me back. Back to thinking positive and using my mind to bring me success. Im also using camu camu berry powder and manqui berry powder and its going good. Just want to thank Kevin Trudeau for making the Disc set with this set you bring Hope back many peoples lives, keep up the good work.
