Acne
Prevention
Acne prevention is
important to both teenagers and adults to maintain self
esteem and confidence and although it is mainly
teenagers who commonly suffer due to hormonal changes,
many adults can also suffer from this skin condition.
There is no one rule about acne prevention as all
individuals are different and something that might work
well for you, may not work well for someone else.
Some common causes of acne are hormonal changes, stress,
allergies, drug use, deficient personal hygiene, poor
nutrition, and cosmetics.
Some researchers believe that the food we eat does not
affect our skin but it is impossible to separate the
two. Our food choices feed our organs and since
our skin is our biggest organ it also depends on certain
nutrients to keep it healthy. If you feed your body
junk it will produce junk, it’s just that simple. Acne
prevention starts from the inside out and if you
understand that your body makes cells based on the
nutrition your provide it then you can draw your own
conclusions.
An unhealthy diet for your skin is a diet high in high in oils
and saturated fats. Foods
such as hamburgers, french fries, ice cream, excessive
chocolate and processed foods fall into that category.
There is nothing wrong with eating these foods
occasionally but if they are part of your staple diet,
they are bound to affect your skin.
Instead of eating these high oil foods, substitute a diet high in green leafy
vegetables, fruits and trace minerals to encourage acne
prevention. Most people are deficient in magnesium and
iodine, which are found in sea vegetables, mozzarella
cheese, cow’s milk, strawberries and spinach. It is
always better to try and include the actual foods in
your diet rather than just rely on supplements to get
these essential nutrients.
A diet high in Vitamin A and beta carotene is also
beneficial to your skin. You’ll find both those
essential vitamins in carrots, broccoli and other green
leafy vegetables.
Soda should also be avoided as it is full of excess
sugar and chemicals that aren't good for you.
Instead make sure you drink plenty of other natural
fluids to help flush toxins from your body. Water
is always the best choice.
Acne prevention also includes good personal hygiene
which includes keeping your hands off
your acne! It may be tempting to touch, pick or peel but
doing this just aggravates the condition and increases
the risk for infection and scarring.
Don’t cover your acne with make up or cosmetics. Try to
abstain from using makeup at all. Make up aggravates the
pimples and makes you look like you have pimples covered
by make up. When you do wear make up use non-comodome
makeup that doesn’t clog your pores.
Sun is good for acne prevention but there are
several things to remember. Most medication from the
doctor and over the counter make you more susceptible to
sunburn which will worsen the condition. Tanning may
make the pimples less visible but it also speeds the
aging process of the skin and increases your risk of
skin cancer.
And finally, get plenty of sleep and relaxation as signs
of an unhealthy lifestyle can quickly show through your
skin.
Get plenty of rest. You may think that you can survive
on a few hours of sleep a night and you may for a short
time but without adequate rest, our bodies are not given
the much needed repair that is essential to good health.
