Acne is affected by a lot of things, but rarely do people take the time to look at their diet as one of the many culprits in their skin conditions, but in fact a diet full of oily foods and dairy products can be causing acne to be worse, more frequent and more painful. Instead, there are ways to change your diet to increase healthy skin growth and prevent acne from occurring.
You already know how important a well-balanced diet is, but with a busy life and the rising cost of food it's easy to fall into a bad diet rut and your skin pays for it. Instead, fill your diet with complex carbohydrates, water, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods work to fuel your body in a positive way and are processed through the body in a natural way. When we eat oily foods or those that cannot be processed very easily, like refined sugars, we are forcing our body to send it through our detoxification systems. This includes our skin, as we sweat out toxins that our body can't deal with. Consider the level of skin health and the complexion of a drug addict and you will understand the concept in stark contrast.
There are two other natural remedies you can work into your diet on a daily basis to help get rid of, clear up and protect your skin from acne. The first is to drink a baking soda and water solution twice a day. This can be harsh on your stomach or cause headaches, so if you are prone to either don't use this remedy. The solution is made by dissolving one to two teaspoons of baking soda into a glass of water.
The other remedy is to drink diluted apple cider vinegar once a day. While, the vinegar doesn't have to be diluted for it to work, this is done for the taste factor. Apple cider vinegar can be a little bitter and hard to swallow when not diluted. Use these remedies along with a healthy, well-balance diet and you will see a change in your skin for the better.
