Help Clear Up Acne

View:

According to studies and researchers, both acne and the unpleasant psychological manifestations brought about by this skin disorder are caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the body. There are certain nutrients that are found to improve acne and can also improve one's emotions. Continue reading to find out what these exact nutrients are.

It is stated in the book of Medical Hypotheses, 2007 edition, that some factors that are thought to increase the risk of psychological sequelae in a person with acne vulgaris are altered intestinal microflora, weakened antioxidant defense system, and certain nutritional factors.

Most ingredients that are found out to improve one's mood are the exact same nutrients that are found to be effective in treating acne. These nutrients are the following:

* Zinc

* Chromium

* Folic Acid

* Selenium

* Omega-3 fatty acids (not just the regular fish oil but the actual DHA and EPA)

Zinc is a nutrient that can help boost the immune system. The body's main defense mechanism, which is the immune system, helps prevent acne bacteria from thriving in the body and skin. When the immune system is weak, you are susceptible to acne breakouts.

Patients with mood disorders often show low levels of zinc in the body. But mood disorders, such as mood swings as well as fatigue are said to decrease when zinc supplements are taken.

Another nutrient that is needed by the human body is the chromium. They are known to maintain the body's blood sugar levels within normal range. Studies have proven that people who are suffering from high blood sugar levels are more prone to acne breakouts. However, when chromium is administered, the skin will clear up.

Studies made at Duke University found that a significant decrease in atypical depression is observed in people who are taking chromium supplements. Folic acid works in the same manner as the chromium.

According to Acta Dermato-Venereologica (1990), in the case of acne vulgaris, the concentration of selenium in the plasma and in the whole blood is decreased. And according to the ARS Human Nutrition Research Center, taking selenium can help improve mood.

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are the two most powerful non-prescription anti inflammatory nutrients that are considered natural. Omega-3 fatty acids have a lot of health benefits aside from clearing the skin from acne.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center made a study of the effectiveness of omega-3 on 106 healthy volunteers. Those participants who had low omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid blood levels were more likely to suffer from mild or moderate depression, had a more negative outlook in life and tend to be more impulsive. On the other hand, those with high levels of omega-3 didn't show these symptoms.

So can you really say that if you are depressed you are more likely to suffer from acne? Or could it be the other way around? Whatever the exact reasons for your acne may be, the best thing to do is to look for a high quality supplement that contains the nutrients specified above and for sure you'll experience a clearer skin and a better mood!

Help Clear Up Acne

The skin stores around 12% water. It is important to maintain this amount with the correct amount of good fat to keep your skin from getting acne. You need to drink around 2 quarts of distilled water every day. If you are not drinking this amount, just start increasing the amount that you do drink.

Drinking water helps you get rid of toxins in the blood and around your cells. By drinking water, you will urinate more and more toxins will be eliminated. You will sweat more and toxins will be eliminated.

The cleaner your blood the healthier your skin will be and your will not have a problem with acne.

Use glass containers when buying distilled or reverse osmosis water. Try to avoid using plastic containers for water since plastic containers contain chemicals, left in the container walls during manufacturing, which leaches out into the water.

If you are drinking fresh juices, you will also be getting water from these juices. Drinking sodas is not drinking water. If you are eating fresh vegetables you are getting distilled water. So the more fruits and vegetables you eat the less water you need to drink.

Here’s a few things you do to help you drink more water or to make the water healthier. Find a 16 or 32 oz glass container and add distilled water. Then add one of the following nutrients:

* A few drops of Alkalife. This solution changes the pH of the water from 7 to 8 and also activates the water with its electrolytes – sodium and potassium.

* Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the water. Do not add sugar. A few drops of honey may be ok.

* Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the water and add up to one teaspoon of powdered MSM. MSM is excellent for the skin disorders such as acne. It makes the skin cells more flexible, allowing more nutrients to go into and out of the cells, and its anti-inflammatory. MSM is also excellent in activating peristaltic action and will prevent constipation.

* Put 2 oz of mangosteen into the water. Mangosteen is an over all body tonic. It works on all parts of the body and will help keep you regular.

You can also choose to add your favorite nutritional flavor to give water an additional value.

Chose one of these natural additives for your water and drink this water little by little all day long. This is one more thing you can do to get rid of acne, improve your skin texture or to keep the nice skin you already have.

Get Some Sunshine

One more thing you can do for your skin is to get more natural light.

Expose your face to plenty of sun and air. This helps your skin to heal faster. But don’t purposely place your face in the sun, but remaining in the shade and open outdoors gives you plenty of sun and air.

At least 20 – 40 minutes a day in the outdoors is necessary for you to get sufficient vitamin D for you daily needs.
