About Holistic Acne Treatments
Acne, which appears as pimples on the skin, is common and highly treatable. Although over-the-counter and prescription medications show success in acne treatment, many people are interested in exploring a more natural approach. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Diet
-
An appointment with a holistic doctor can reveal whether food sensitivities are contributing to your acne. White sugar and refined flours are common culprits.
Vitamins and Minerals
-
Supplementing with vitamin B5 and zinc may bring relief from acne.
-
Green Tea
-
Green tea lowers bacteria levels in your body and has antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals. Using an acne cream made with green tea or even sipping green tea regularly can help acne.
Tea Tree Oil
-
Applying tea tree oil to the skin can reduce acne, and using it with vitamin E can prevent your skin from getting too dry.
Water
-
Increase your water intake to decrease your acne. Adequate hydration cleanses your body of toxins and excess hormones and prevents water retention, all of which can worsen your acne.
