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.
Fatty foods and high sugar foods have been gaining attention as possible causes of acne. However, this is a subject of some controversy, even though there has been research indicating a possible connection.
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.
I think there is more than enough proof indicating that cutting back on fatty and sugary foods is one important step toward reducing acne problems. Furthermore, there are plenty of other health conditions that are caused by eating too much fat and sugar, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Nutrition for the skin however, is a less controversial subject.
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 is a mineral that is responsible for hundreds of functions needed to be healthy. One of those functions is to heal the skin and limit the scarring that can be caused by acne.
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.
