Top 6 Natural Acne Treatments
Acne affects millions each year, of all ages, and can have a detrimental impact on your self esteem if left untreated. This skin condition is generally classified into non-inflammatory acne with whiteheads and blackheads, or inflammatory acne with small infections from P. Acnes bacteria. The leading causes of acne are from hormone imbalances whereby androgen hormones increase oil production that clogs pores. This perpetuating cycle causes issues, mainly from the excess oil that becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin and also blocks dead skin cells from being shed naturally. Other causes can also be from stress, sleep deprivation and sometimes friction from sports equipment.
Acne can start small and then quickly progress into a severe state that is difficult to unwind and takes many months to heal. There are also complications; including the risk of permanent scarring and also if the negative long term side effects from prescription medicine such as Isotretinoin. It is best avoided to let acne advance into a severe state and preventing this from happening can be accomplished by paying strict attention to your diet and controlling bacteria. Here are six natural ways to treat acne at the source.
Your Acne Free Diet
Your skin is a reflection of your health. Beautiful and glowing skin comes from eating a nutrient rich diet, hydration and care. Eating fried or fast food are packed with hydrogenated oils, sodium, chemicals, flavourings and sugar. These foods cause inflammation and are a main case of acne.
Another general rule is eating a low glycemic index diet. The glycemic index measures how quickly foods raise blood sugar. Processed and refined foods will have a high glycemic index, where leafy greens, wild fish, grass fed beef all have a low glycemic index. Eating foods that don’t cause spikes or increased inflammation is key to preventing acne from developing further.
Dairy Free Means Acne Free
Consuming high amounts of conventional dairy such as cows milk, yoghurt and cheese is a common acne trigger. Finding alternatives to provide needed calcium and vitamin D in your diet is not as hard as what you might think. Foods such as almonds, chia seeds, beans, lentils, spinach and broccoli are high in calcium. This will give your skin the needed breathing space to recover, instead of aggravating the situation.
Say No To Sugar
While it is virtually impossible to cut out sugar from your diet, paying attention to avoid sugar found in sweets, ice cream, chocolate, tomato sauce and even fruit is a useful strategy. Sugar causes inflammation and also weakens your immune system, thereby prolonging acne. It is also a good idea also include probiotics in your diet to increase your defence and boost your immune system.
Don’t Burst
