Home Remedies for Acne – Try Juicing

Anyone who has suffered from acne flower_flowers_stuffed_250188_tnknows how scarring it can be both physically and emotionally. Not everybody reacts well to the medications currently on the market for acne. In this case, it might be worth looking into a home remedy for acne or alternative methods.

Avoiding greasy foods and avoiding sugar and refined carbs is gaining support as one possible cause for acne. This is considered a controversial subject, but there are more than enough studies relating high carb, especially high sugar diets, with acne problems.

As for grease – well if you surf the internet on this subject – you will find many people who will tell you that cutting down on grease made a big difference for them. Also there are many who will tell you that lack of sleep and stress will bring about flare ups. If you are having trouble getting to sleep visit how to fall asleep fast.

Personally, I think it is a good idea to avoid these foods as one aspect of your Acne Treatments to see if it can help. Also, these foods should be avoided for a variety of other health reasons.

Fortunately there is something less controversial – and that is nutrition for healthy skin.

Vitamin A:
Vitamin A is needed to protect the skin. A deficiency of vitamin A can lead to rough, dry and cracked skin. Furthermore, it helps reduce the production of sebum. Too much sebum production is one fundamental cause of acne.

Vitamin E:
Getting enough vitamin E is essential for a healthy immune system. It also works with vitamin A to produce dermatological beneficial effects. You will find both vitamin A and E in facial creams. Vitamin E also helps to reduce the production of sebum.

Zinc:
Zinc can be helpful in preventing inflammation and flare ups in the skin. Zinc is also an important mineral needed for skin to heal and to reduce the effects of scarring.

JUICING:
It is easy to get an abundance of the above vitamins and minerals through juicing specific fruits and vegetables. Juicing has much more to offer. It can hydrate the skin and detoxify all the body’s cells and cleanse the system.

    Try using witch hazel and lemon juice as an astringent. If you have oily skin and believe this exacerbates your acne or pimples, as the bacteria underneath, which has already clogged your pores, has trouble being released due to excess oil on the skin’s surface level, witch hazel and lemon juice are an all-natural remedy to remove excess oil from your skin.

    I’ve got or had acne since I was a teenager. I am at the present in my 30s and what has seemed to work out best for me is apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, mixed with equal amounts of water. This and coconut oil applied to my face.
