Acne—most of us suffer from it no matter what our age, gender, or race is. Acne does not discriminate and we can all attest to that. While acne cannot be completely avoided, we can do our best to fight the good fight.
Dieting – Good for fighting acne and even better for that bikini bod!
Foods with omega-3 fatty acids. Consider adding flax seeds, walnuts, or even salmon to your diet because foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are known to give your skin an almost instant glow and reduce inflammation. Tip: Add flaxseed to your morning smoothie!
Antioxidant filled foods. It is no surprise to hear that antioxidants are not only good for your health, but your skin, too. As you may know, antioxidants attack free radicals in your body that cause skin damage and breakouts. Tip: Swap your fast food lunch for a delicious berry-filled spinach salad!
Foods rich in selenium, which is needed to help preserve your skin’s elasticity and reduce inflammation. Tip: Swap your afternoon chips for a handful of almonds.
Foods rich in vitamin C. We all know that vitamin C helps boost your immune system, but were you aware that it also protects your skin from scarring? Tip: Add some strawberries, oranges, or melon to your breakfast.
Foods rich in vitamin E. Similar to vitamin C, vitamin E also helps protect your skin from scarring. Tip: get a delicious daily dose by drizzling olive oil on your spinach salad!
Hydrate. Yes, hydrate yourself with water or by eating foods with high water content like watermelon or cucumber. Tip: Add some cucumber slices to your water for a delicious and refreshing treat!
Foods rich in vitamin A. This vitamin is rich in beta-carotene, which will enhance the benefits of selenium. Tip: Add carrots, bell peppers, and even cantaloupe to your snack list!
Foods high in magnesium. This one is a priority because magnesium helps to balance out acne-inducing hormones! Tip: Enjoy a delicious artichoke for an appetizer before dinner.
Decrease salt intake. All women know that salt makes you retain water and bloat, but it also wreaks havoc on your skin. Worried about not getting your Iodine if you decrease your salt intake? Try Seaweed as a substitute because it is rich in iodine!
White foods are the wrong foods. Yes, cut out white bread, white rice, French fries, and even mashed potatoes. Tip: Swap your sandwich bread for whole grain bread.
Behavioral Tips for Skin Care
- Let your skin breathe. Yes, that means no makeup. Okay, that may be too much to ask, so how about letting your skin breathe on the weekends?
- Do not touch your face. Seriously, take the time to really think about where you like to put your hand and then think of where you are breaking out. Do you see some correlation? Most likely yes since your hands have an insane amount of pore-clogging bacteria on them.
- Healthy skin washing routine. Always wash your makeup off at night! Tip: Invest in Neutrogena wipes to remove makeup in a hurry for those party nights.
- Clean your phone. Yes, sanitize that iPhone because there is also a disturbing amount of pore-clogging bacteria on it. Eww—just wipe it down with a Lysol wipe.
- Stop stressing. Stress can wreak havoc on your skin and your mental health. Start cutting out stress-inducing factors or pickup weekend yoga!
