Step 1 - Leave off milk and any of the diary products out of your diet.



Have you ever pondered over the fact that the milk industry no longer advertising to the message of "Got Milk"? They have there reasons for no advertising milk in a way to say that it is good for the body. This is due to the fact that they have found that milk is bad for your body. Particularly when we are talking about acne.

Now that the cows these days are given hormones some are sex hormones and then bovine IGF. This results in you being overexposed to these hormones when you are drinking or eating the milk-based foods.

The American Academy of Dermatology reported that the teens that consumed milk developed teenage acne more often than the ones that did not consume it. More milk they drink the higher the risk went.

Step 2 - Do not consume refined sugars and carbohydrates as part of your diet.

This means stick to the whole wheat products and brown rice, which is also low glycemic. Leave off the sodas, the white rice, and the white breads, which is high glycemic.

A study that appeared in a reputable journal on dermatology randomly chose 43 males suffering with acne, some to eat a diet high in protein and low glycemically with whole wheat foods and made them the treatment group. Then the others ate a high glycemic diet containing candies, sugars, and soda and were made the control group.

The males of the treatment group ate high protein foods like poultry, lean meat, or fish and to also eat whole grain foods such as whole wheat bread. They also ate fruit.

This study took place over a 12 week period and the results showed that in the treatment group the acne outbreaks had decreased more than in that of the control group. This treatment group have significant changes in their hormonal markers of the acne too.

Step 3 - Take a good quality supplement that has been designed for acne.

People that suffer with acne often find the have a deficiency in many important minerals and vitamins such as Zinc, Selenium, and Vitamin A. But don't go out and buy the first, cheapest vitamin you come across, these may be made of poor quality ingredients.

These poor ingredients make the body unable to absorb the nutrients correctly. It has been found the selenium in organic forms can absorb fully into your body. This compared to the selenium that is inorganic in nature which is only absorbed about halfway by the body.

The Omega-3 fatty acids that are found in the fish oil supplements are reported to help with inflammation and help the acne that is caused due to hormones but only taken in the proper doses.

So be sure that your acne supplement has more of the nutrients in it that you need to fight acne and just a few of the other nutrients needed for good health. This will insure that they will be more effective at clearing your skin of the acne you so hate to suffer from.
