Its true – you are what you eat. If you eat salty, greasy foods, your skin will be greasy and oily. If you eat grains and vegetables, your skin will be smooth and healthy. Here is a list of foods that you can eat to improve your skin and prevent acne.

Whole Grains

Foods with whole grains are great for keeping your skin healthy – they carry tons of antioxidants. Be careful and make sure you read the nutrition facts before purchasing a seemingly healthy choice. For the best whole grain experience, try true whole grains like Millet or Quinoa.

Green Tea

You’ve probably heard of using this tea for another remedy – but green tea is basically good for any ailment. Green tea contains antioxidants that prevent inflammation and stop your breakouts from appearing.

Fish

Omega 3 fatty acids contain an anti-inflammatory that is great for keeping your skin smooth and free breakouts. If you want blemish free skin eat salmon, anchovies, tuna and sardines, or take an Omega 3 supplement.

Fruits and Vegetables

“Eat your vegetables!” You’ve probably heard this before. Fruits and vegetables are of huge importance to your health; however they are also very good at keeping your skin free of acne and breakouts. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables will reduce the amount of oil your skin produces, therefore preventing acne. The best vegetables for your skin are cabbage, parsley, tomato, and cucumber.

Water

Proper skin hydration is crucial for healthy skin free of toxins and oils. Continuously drink water throughout the day every day, and you will notice improvement in your complexion.

There are lots of us who suffer from moderate to severe breakouts on a daily basis. If you are reluctant to try expensive skin products like Proactive, or Phisoderm and Biore aren’t working for you, try these 5 easy steps to clearer skin.

1. Wash – You must wash your face twice a day EVERY day no matter what. Use a mild soap and warm water to free your skin of oils and dirt. An acne soap product that I personally recommend is Face Doctor soap. I kid you not – it works wonders on moderate breakouts if used twice a day.

2. Don’t touch – Try to avoid touching your face. There’s a lot of oil on your fingers and touching you face can transfer these oils to your skin and clog your pores.

3. Stop Popping! – Despite what you think, popping pimples does not make them better. In fact, it will cause them to become enflamed, larger, and could possibly scar. The bacteria and oils on your hand will disturb the breakout.

4. Drink water – If you try cutting out all beverages except water for an entire week, you will notice a difference in the appearance of your skin. It’s a classic remedy.

5. Eat Healthy – The healthier you are, the healthier your skin will be. Eat foods high in fibre such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try to stay away from junk food and caffeine. Daily exercise will also keep you feeling healthy.
