Natural Acne Remedy

A quick look on the internet or in the aisle of your local drug store will produce a plethora of acne treatments. Pharmaceutical companies understand the market for both teens and adults when it comes to fighting acne, and have come through with dozens of different acne products. But how safe and effective are these products? Many contain toxic chemicals that are harsh and damaging to the skin, and will often only temporarily cover up the symptoms of acne without getting to the root causes.

The following article discusses how acne and diet are related, including hormonal imbalances that are due in part to many foods that are commonly eaten. Acne, as well as most other forms of disease, is simply the reaction of the body to improper diet and other lifestyle choices that cause your entire system to become out of balance - especially the endocrine system. Through the use of hormone laden dairy and meat, people ingest enough hormones to change the natural balance of their system, often resulting in acne and other skin problems. Add to that hormone mimicking chemicals found in plastics and personal care products, it is no wonder we see so many difficulties with the endocrine system. Learning how to cleanse and detoxify the body, how to eat healthily (including drinking plenty of pure water), how to supplement effectively, and how to get adequate exercise and sunshine will result in a great reduction of many of the acne concerns which are so prevalent today.

Acne is a difficult problem to tackle and it can have many negative effects on a person that are often overlooked. It is important to believe that there is a solution to your acne. Acne is often the result of an imbalance in your body. Many teenagers who suffer from acne do so because of hormonal imbalances.


Nevertheless, what we eat can also trigger growth of bacteria that cause acne on your skin. You can use your diet to help create an internal environment which is not conducive to growth of bacteria that causes acne. Diets high in fat and carbohydrates may contribute to an increase in acne.

It is important to control both the quantity and quality of the food which is consumed in order to use your diet to help reduce acne. While diet alone is not enough to eliminate acne completely, it can certainly help to reduce it greatly. Many people who have suffered with acne indicate that making some simple dietary changes has improved the situation.

Good dietary advice includes reducing the amount of junk food or processed foods, and replacing them with fresh material that is free of preservatives and other chemicals. Sticking to a predominantly natural diet can aid your health in many ways that will help you get clearer skin, including the use of certain natural foods to combat hormones that produce oil, block pores, and cause acne.

The liver is responsible for the control of toxins. Mycotoxins can build up if your diet is wrong or imbalanced. A person prone to acne is more likely to react. These Mycotoxins effect hormones that cause acne.

Changing your eating habits can be a huge challenge especially if you are used to eating a certain way for so long, but this can be done. We must concentrate on the benefits to drive you to do what it takes to find a solution for your acne. Eating enough fruits and vegetables is very important, as food is great for cleansing your system and, of course, provides your body with many nutrients needed to heal.

Drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices can be a great addition, especially carrot juice as it is very effective at promoting healthy skin. You may want to consider investing in a quality juicer in order to obtain the freshest, healthiest juice possible.
