Acne is caused by hormone inside of your body. Therefore the most effective way to prevent acne is to take the right nutrients which will help you to balance the hormonal disorder in your body. There is no cure for acne, but acne can be treated completely. While vitamins alone may not cure a pimple, they support a healthier diet and can offset some causes including stress, poor nutrition, and hormonal imbalances.
You may not know that getting enough vitamin A in your diet could be as effective against acne as those facial toners and scrubs you've been stockpiling. If only you knew that in junior high.
Here's why:
Vitamin A keeps sebum production, which leads to acne, under control. In case you need another reason to reach for a carrot (a quick, easy source of vitamin A).
Remember that vitamin A has antioxidant properties, so it helps the body get rid of toxins, which can also promote clear skin.
For better-looking skin and improved skin texture, here are some facts:
- Retinoid comes from Vitamin A.
- The recommended daily allowance of vitamin A is 900 micrograms for men and 700 micrograms for women.
- Remember that for skin care, a little is good, a lot is not better.
- Great food sources of vitamin A are dairy products, fish, and dark-colored fruits and veg etables (such as spinach, carrots and apricots).
Some other vitamins and minerals that play a key role in treating acne:
Vitamin E:
This vitamin is important for skin repair and retards cellular aging.
Zinc:
Zinc is essential for absorption of Vitamin A and also regulates levels of Vitamin E in the blood. It also boosts the immune system and helps kill acne bacteria.
Selenium:
Selenium is needed for skin elasticity. It also boosts the action of the other anti-oxidants. (Anti-oxidants are important because they prevent the spread of oxidative cells that can attack cellular function in all major systems of the body.)
Magnesium:
This mineral seems to play a major role in hormone balance, which is a major cause of acne.
