what to eat and what not to eat to stay acne free?

Answer 1

always eat with a fork or spoon. i read where eating McDonald's french fries doesn't cause acne but putting them in your mouth does. by using your hands, you cover your face with oily acne-causing bacteria. same with potato chips and other oily foods.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Acne free skin is an inherited thing but you can keep breakouts to a minimum by exercising and washing your face gently with a scrub or mask once a week. Add Olive oil to your diet and drink plenty of water. A few other things that you can do is not wear a hairstyle that has your hair in your face alot because of the oils in hair gets on the skin and the most important thing of all is to keep your dirty hands away from your face.

Answer 4

It was once thought that diet was a big part of acne, but nowadays they don't think it is diet.
Keep your hands from touching your face, you want to avoid bacteria on your face. Also, wash twice daily (gently, not scrubbing) with cetaphyl or phisoderm or similar soap. You should probably go for a prescription strength acne medicine if you have problems, like benzaclin or retinA, it really works great! If you have bad insurance, try a 10% benzoyl peroxide product on acne areas before bed before spending all your money on the dermatologist...it is cheap and worth a try.

Answer 5

Greasy foods don't contribute to acne-but dairy products may. In a study of nearly 50,000 people, those who drank three or more cups of milk a day in high school were 22 percent more likely to have severe acne compared with those who drank one serving a week or less. Skim milk was the worst. Its not the fat, but the hormones in milk that are the culprit. Foods that contain iodides, such as shell fish and soy sauce, may also aggravate acne.

Answer 6

Acne is due to hormonal changes, bad diet and unhealthy skin care habits. Sometimes, dandruff in the hair can also cause acne. Include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...

Answer 7

Having a body system that is acidic can cause acne as well as other health problems. Many foods that are highly processed are traditionally highly acidic. Breakfast cereal is one of the highest out there. A dietition is the person to seek a list of acidic foods. Another source could be your local health food store. The general rule of thumb is to eat fruits and vegtables as close to their natural states.

Answer 9

It's not so much what you ingest...but it's the oils that get on your skin while you're eating. So it's more important to wash your hands face after eating, if it's food that makes you break out.

Answer 10

Acne is something that you inherite, what you eat has nothing to do with it.
