At some point in most people’s lives acne can become a nuisance. Acne prevention often becomes essential during our teenage years. It can cause great distress and embarrassment at an age when young people are very concerned about how they look. Almost no teenager – and many an adult on drugs like lithium – is spared a prolonged period of acne problems. Here are a few of the most important natural acne fighters, vitamins and foods to take advantage of:

1. Fibers are like sponges in the body that soak up toxins and other waste in your body and then ring them out of your body. Fiber comes in many forms, with the most popular sources being fruits and vegetables. You can also check your local drug store for fiber supplements that come in pill form.

2. Most affected teenagers address acne prevention with manic scrubbing and dieting. They do this because of a mistaken assumption that the problem is related to poor hygiene or improper nutrition. Avoiding fat-laden junk foods like cheeseburgers is definitely a step in the right direction for other health-related reasons. 

3. People who are actually deficient in vitamin A have a higher rate of developing acne. This is because vitamin A is a strong antioxidant. It reduces sebum production and also encourages the production of the protective skin tissue.

4. Exercise to prevent acne. Did you know that most harmful acne-causing bacteria can NOT survive in an alkaline and oxygen rich environment? It’s poison for them. And you know what, exercise is an excellent way to alkalize and oxygenate the body.

5. Water is the most essential molecule required to sustain life, and its functions for the skin are phenomenal. Water hydrates your skin, leading to less scaling and over-drying. Water also helps saturate and flush away toxins and waste that would normally block your pores, essentially helping prevent acne. This is one of the best natural acne treatment.

6. Oily hair causes facial oiliness. This is especially true for those who sport chin/shoulder-length hair. Most importantly, picking at or rubbing of acne blemishes is strictly contraindicated.

7. Taking a Vitamin B complex is also a good idea when trying to rid your face of acne. All the B vitamins have so many benefits. Each B vitamin plays a different role but when used in combination the results are often best. B1 or thiamin and vitamin B3 are known for improving circulation within the body.

8. Herbs are much like vitamins and have been used for their healing properties for thousands of years. Most acne medications contain some kind of herbal recipe. Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, burdock and cleavers are effective acne fighting herbs that help distribute nutrients and oxygen to the skin.

Some of these things I know from personal experience, some I got from Cosmopolitan (Vol 241, no 6 December 2006) and have commited them to memory. These are all really helpful tips and most of them are things that we don’t always think about. These probably won’t get rid of acne all-together, but they do help significantly.

Preventing and curing acne starts with a cleaning, exfoliating, toning and moisturizing skin care regimen, but it’s also important not to pick at blemishes.

Acne is a troublesome condition that can affect anyone at any age. But it doesn’t have to be the nightmare that many perceive it to be. One main reason that acne is hard to treat is that it tends to be recurring and becomes something you manage rather than cure. But there are many things you can do to prevent it from getting worse. Here are 8 things you can start doing right now to prevent your acne from becoming worse:

We know that some medicines will simply work on a specific skin type, whereas natural products have an greater success no matter what skin type you are. Simple ways are at times the most effective when treating acne and shouldn’t be overlooked because of their simplicity.

1. When you do take a shower, it is important to make sure that you rinse your hair before you wash your face. This is due to the fact that the conditioner or shampoo which you use may end up getting on your face and causing breakouts. By washing your face after you rinse your hair, you will be able to easily prevent this problem.

2. Exercising daily (even if it’s just a walk and you break a sweat) will help to prevent acne because when you sweat it is releasing bad and unwanted toxins from your body which causes acne.

3. Papaya is a fruit that not only helps to cleanse your body toxin from inside but it also doubles up as skin moisturizer and remover of dead skin. Apply papaya flesh on the affected area and leave it for 10 – 12 minutes and then rinse off, you will surely feel the difference in your skin after few washes.

4. Watch your sugar intake. Not only is excessive sugar consumption generally bad for you and the gateway to diseases such as diabetes, but also it is high in carbohydrates, which may cause a greater number of breakouts.

5. Do not pick; might seem simple but how many of us do this, it will merely make it worse. This might result in acne scarring, which is harder to address than the actual acne.

6. About two litres a day is the proper amount of water to be drinking per day. Hydration is so key for a good body, which in turn results in healthy skin. These ideas will better your skin and help you get rid of acne. This is one of the best natural acne treatment.

7. Choosing the right make-up can help you from preventing you from getting acne or worsening it. If you purchase the wrong make-up, this may cause your acne to worsen.

8. Eliminate as much stress from your life as possible. This sounds impossible, but it’s not. Stress also has links to the suppression of your immune system and can even cause damage to your nerve cells. And when the inside of your body is damaged, the outside can begin to reflect it in the form of acne.
