Acne can cause anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. To get rid of acne, you need to take the right supplements, avoid the wrong foods, and use the right products on your skin.

Zinc

Hormonal imbalances can lead to acne. Zinc regulates the hormones in your body. There have been many studies that show that zinc levels in people with acne are lower than in people with fair skin. Taking zinc can reduce acne by up to 50%. Zinc reduces the production of (DHT) dihydrotestosterone. DHT is one of the androgens that contribute to the hormonal cause of acne. Zinc effectively stops the root cause of acne breakouts.

probiotics

Many studies have shown that patients with moderate acne who took probiotics had a significant improvement in their acne. Probiotics improved acne by reducing sebum content and decreasing skin inflammation due to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. If you take probiotics, you will see a significant improvement in your skin. Do not take probiotics that include dairy such as yogurt, as dairy has been linked to acne. I recommend that you take probiotics in pill form. I also take Kevita probiotic drink, which is sold in supermarkets.

MSM

Taking the MSM supplement will soften the skin, improve the permeability of the skin, and help clear the pores. MSM contains sulfur, also known as the “beauty mineral.” MSM helps prevent acne breakouts by controlling the rate of keratin production and inhibiting the effect of androgens, such as DHT. MSM is very effective in treating acne.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D activates macrophages, a type of white blood cell. Macrophages attack acne bacteria head-on, helping to eliminate any trace of acne. If you can’t get enough vitamin D from the sun, I recommend taking 1000 IU of vitamin D3.

lecithin and garlic

I take the Kyolic supplement which contains lecithin and garlic. Lecithin nourishes the skin and attacks acne, pimples and blackheads. The antibacterial and antioxidant properties of garlic help prevent and eliminate acne. All Kyolic products contain both acne-fighting properties.

Foods not to eat

Stay away from dairy! There is a direct relationship between acne and dairy. If you have acne-prone skin, avoid all dairy products. Dairy contains hormones that increase sebum production. Dairy is one of the most inflammatory foods you can consume. Additional foods to stay away from include eggs, chocolate, and nuts. Try to avoid sugar, grains, processed foods, vegetable oils, caffeine, and alcohol. Vegetables to avoid include broccoli and mushrooms.

skin care products

According to research, five of the most common skin bacteria responsible for acne cannot survive when jojoba oil is applied to the skin. Jojoba oil is very effective in curing acne and inflamed skin. Jojoba Oil easily absorbs deep into the skin without clogging pores or making skin feel greasy. Jojoba oil is antibacterial, so it kills the bacterial infection that causes acne. Jojoba oil is a popular acne remedy for removing acne on facial skin.

Eat healthy, follow these tips and you will see that your acne disappears. You can look forward to beautiful clear skin!
