Can I Eat My Way To An Acne Cure?

It has long been held that eating things like chocolate can lead to acne and so it would seem logical that it you have acne you should be able to treat it by simply adjusting your diet. So, what foods help cure acne?

Unfortunately thinking here is a little bit flawed because the fact that chocolate causes acne is not a fact at all but is simply one of a number of acne myths. Indeed, there is no evidence at all to suggest that there is any direct connection between food and acne.

This said, curing your acne does require a combination of things including a regime of general skincare and here your diet can be important in promoting healthy skin.

The secret when it comes to skincare is simply to follow a well balanced diet which is low in fat. In other words, reduce the quantity of fatty or red meat in your diet in favor of white meats such as chicken and turkey and include fresh fish at least two or three times a week. Also ensure that you are eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and not too many dairy products. When it come to dairy products, you should also avoid high fat products and turn to low (or lower) fat alternatives. For example, instead of using full-fat or full-cream milk try skimmed (or semi-skimmed or half-fat) milk.

Following a good well balance diet will not cure your acne, but it will promote a healthy skin which, in turn, will help to cure your acne.

Proactive Acne Cream Treatment Many people believe that there is no really effective cure for acne and so the best answer is simply to do nothing and to let nature run its course and wait for your acne to disappear by itself. This is one solution but it is certainly not the best solution and without doubt a proactive acne cream treatment should be your first line of attack. Read more

Proactiv Solution Renewing Cleanser
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I have used every product out there. This one really keeps away about 90% of the acne I would otherwise get. I can't say it makes my face perfect, but it makes it much much better than it would be with any other product. Definitely follow with the lotion (or try the benzoyl peroxide treatment at [...], which works fantastically).
 
Proactiv Solution Revitalizing Toner 4 oz.
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Proactiv solution is the only acne solution that has worked for me. As cliche as it sounds, I have tried almost everything on the market and nothing has worked as well. The only downside is that it takes a couple weeks to see a huge difference but when it starts working, it really works. Not only does it clear up acne, but it prevents it as well.
 
Zymaderm Treatment for Molluscum Contagiosum .5 fl oz (15 ml)
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: We cannot say enough about this product.
We have had a horrible time with this moluscum garbage. Awful, humiliating,discusting,annoying & gross are just some of the emotions we have felt.
Saw 4 dermatologists who all said there was nothing to do unless cut them off surgically but said they would likely return.
Had them burned, Fro...
