Get Rid of Acne with a Better Diet
Friday, April 18, 2008
If you are looking to get rid of the battle with acne, you may need to find an inner solution. You have tried all of the topical treatments for your skin, but nothing seems to work. It almost seems like there is no hope for your acne filled skin. There is a solution for acne that has been revealed and can work for you too!
It is true that you are what you eat, so it is important that you consume healthy foods to have a healthier body. A lot of acne is caused by what you consume – eat a lot of greasy foods, it will develop and clog in your pores, giving you that shiny look. Some people find that drinking sodas can cause acne breakouts for their skin. Before you even think about purchasing that new acne cure all treatment, you need to consider leading a healthier lifestyle to back it up.
You need to include three main vitamins in your diet, A, C and E. With Vitamin A, you will develop new skin cell growth, which will help to regulate production of sebum in your skin. Sebum is a watery thin substance that helps to keep your skin moisturized. When too much of it is produced, it causes oily skin and acne outbreaks. People who witness this have over active sebum glands. The sebum then mixes with the dead skin cells, dirt and oil, causing blemishes and acne.
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, can be found in many fruits like oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits. You can add this vitamin to your life by using a slice of the above with your tea or cooking with its juices (great with chicken and fish). You can also squeeze the juices of one or more of these fruits to create a delicious acne fighting fruit drink. It activates tissue growth and reduces cholesterol, while improving the texture and clarity of your skin by producing collagen.
Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant that can help with your battle with acne as well. It protects your cells from lipid oxidization and supports cholesterol levels that are healthy for you. You can find it in foods such as leafy green veggies, whole grains, eggs, sweet potatoes, avocadoes, corn, oatmeal and many others. Finding enough vitamin E shouldn’t be hard at all. Just eat your fruits and salads and you’ll a difference in your skin in no time!
