Natural Acne Solutions
By Joanne Mayhead
If you are an acne sufferer you will know only too well how difficult it can be to find something that works. After years of using harsh chemical products, more and more of us are turning to natural acne solutions in an attempt to control this skin condition.
When we treat conditions like acne, we often look for topical treatments to clear up the blemishes that we can see without thinking about what is lurking beneath the surface. This is why we need to go a bit deeper and look at how we can treat acne from the inside out, concentrating on prevention of future outbreaks as well as getting rid of what is there already.
Here are some natural acne solutions that can help to improve your skin:
Anti-oxidants
Anti-oxidants can give your skin a boost and help to flush out any stagnant toxin build up which can impact your skin. Brazil nuts are an excellent source and just a few a day can have a positive impact. You may also want to consider taking an anti-oxidant supplement to help.
Sulphur Rich Food
Sulphur rich foods such as onion and garlic are also known to have a positive effect on your skin and what’s more they have fantastic health benefits so even more reason to include them in your diet.
Zinc
Deficiencies in Zinc have been linked to acne so include plenty of zinc rich food in your diet such as pumpkin seeds, turkey and brown rice
Essential Fatty Acids
Ensure you are getting enough Essential Fatty Acids - found in foods such as oily fish or flaxseed oil. Consider taking a good Omega 3, 6 & 9 supplement. Sometimes acne can be related to hormone imbalances so supplements such as Evening Primrose oil are also useful in controlling this.
Nutrients
Ensure you maintain a good diet full of nutrients by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
Patience is the key
You need to be patient, sometimes is takes a while to find something that works for you. As a past sufferer myself, I tried all sorts of supplements before I found a combination of Omega 3,6 & 9 and Grape seed extract that keeps the outbreaks as bay.
Supplements
Another solution is to look for supplement treatments that have been specially formulated to treat acne as the research that has gone into the supplements means that they are more likely to contain the right balance of ingredients to help you get the best results.
When looking for supplements, always check that they come from a reputable source and that the ingredients are safe. Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement treatment.
Living with acne can dominate your life and most cases can be helped by finding the right solution for you and that does not mean resorting to harsh topical skin treatments that do more damage to your skin in the long term.
