What must people with acne prone skin consume for clearer skin?

Answer 1

For me, it's not so much about what I consume, but what products I apply to my skin.

I use the Clear Skin Regimen at http://www.acne.org. It's a non-profit (so it's free), the guy who created used to suffer from pimples himself. The system works wonders on my face, and its helped countless other people. The best part is that you don't have to order or buy any expensive treatments, everything you need for the Regimen can be found at your local drugstore. Find out more at the website.

In general, for clear skin it helps if you: don't touch/pick at your skin, drink lots of water, wash your hair frequently, change your pillowcases, exercise, wear little make-up (or if needed, hypo-allergenic makeup), and minimize stress.

Answer 2

Most people think a bad diet, lots of sugar, and greasy food cause acne. I've heard acne is something set up genetically. There are no foods that can help clear up the skin. Water of course will help keep you healthier, but I don't think it has an effect on break-outs. Talk to your doctor about some solutions. Acutain (I think that's how you spell it), is a very popular choice of medicine to help clear up and prevent acne. However, any time you use medication for treatment, there could be side effects. Your doctor can help you pick the best treatment for your skin type.

Answer 3

Consume as in eat? Drink plenty of water. Stay away from fatty, greasy and spicy foods.

As far as products for your skin: try Proactiv or Clinique's 3 Step System.

Answer 4

Some say a healthier diet in general helps clear acne, but if your acne's really bad, see a dermatologist.

Answer 5

Reduce or eliminate sugars, caffeine, nicotine, hydrogenated oils, processed wheats, and dairy. Drink plenty of water, fresh food -- fruits and vegetables. Laugh, and have fun with life. I've enclosed a few sites to get you started. ;)
