Conventional treatments for acne are many times successful. These treatments include cleansing lotions made with benzoyl peroxide, creams or gels made with vitamin A, and antibiotic medications taken orally or applied to the skin. However, it is very important to consider the risk of scarring when choosing a certain treatment. Natural acne treatments are both efficient and cost effective and they reduce the risk of scarring. These treatments include a balanced diet, vitamins and nutritional supplements, herbs and bodywork.
Diet
A died based mostly on whole and unprocessed food is often beneficial for people who suffer from acne. Try to eat vegetables at least five times a day and fruits at least once. Refined sugar should be avoid it. You should also avoid fried foods, trans fats, such as milk or margarine and hydrogenated vegetable oils. It is recommended to consume foods that contain omega-3 oils, such as sardines or flax seeds. There are also some opinions claiming that chocolate, coffee, salt, shellfish, wheat products and carbonated drinks increase acne.
It is also important to drink a lot of water. You should try to have at list 8 glasses of water each day. Fiber intake is also recommended. In addition to fruits and vegetables, you should also eat whole grain. Some people claim that a liver detox diet from one to four weeks based on fruits and vegetables helps with acne.
Vitamins & Nutritional Supplements
Vitamin A can help with reducing sebum production. However, you should be careful not to exaggerate, as high doses of vitamin A can lead to a decreased bone density, headache, muscle and joint pain and birth defects. Sexually active women of childbearing age shouldn't take more than 5,000 IU per day unless they are guided by a professional and are using at least two birth control methods. It's not necessary to take vitamin A if there's an adequate intake of vitamin E, zinc and beta-carotene, which contribute to vitamin A formation.
Zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate are also effective natural acne treatments. Two studies comparing zinc to antibiotic tetracycline have found that zinc is as effective as tetracycline. Zinc helps with healing blemishes, reducing inflammation as well as reducing androgenic hormonal effects on skin. This is why you should increase the intake of foods that contain zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate, such as seafoods, red meat or poultry.
Vitamin B6 helps with pre-menstrual or mid-cycle acne and is essential for the metabolism of steroid hormones. It can also reduce skin sensitivity to testosterone effects.
Herbs
An effective natural acne treatment is obtained by mixing equal parts of sarsaparilla, burdock, yellow dock and cleavers extracts. It is believed that these herbs are blood and lymph cleansers. Half a teaspoon of this mixture should be taken three times a day. The treatment has best effects if combined with a healthy diet.
Tea tree oil also helps with reducing acne. If applied to erupted blemishes, it helps eliminating the bacteria and reducing inflammation.
Bodywork
Massage is another natural treatment recommended for people with acne problems. Bodywork helps increasing blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, thus fastening the blemish healing process.
Stress Reduction
Generally, stress is an important factor in many health problems, including acne. Reducing stress can be seen as a natural acne treatment. Some of the most common ways to reduce stress include yoga, physical exercise, meditation and breathing techniques. Doing things that you enjoy and avoiding stress factors is also very helpful.
