Acne Diets and Proper Personal Hygiene:
Natural Cures for Acne

Question:  I've heard many things about beneficial acne diets.  Does diet have anything to do with acne?  Is diet a factor in the cause of acne?  And, is there a good acne diet that provides a natural cure for acne?

Acne Diets and Personal Hygiene

Good Personal hygiene (including your diet) plays a very significant role in keeping skin clear and radiant.  It cannot be stressed enough that you must take care of your skin from the inside out and this focuses on personal hygiene and your diet.

The natural cure for acne, begins with your diet.  Not only will a proper acne diet help your skin be beautiful, you will feel great and aid your body in ridding some common ailments such as removing bad breath and decreasing body odor which further promotes great personal hygiene. 

7 Essential Elements to Any Effective Acne Diet

1. An acne diet is really about healthy eating.  Fruits, vegetables, salads and nuts should be eaten regularly.  You should decrease intake of dairy products, red meat, sugar, caffeine and refined carbohydrates.  Excessive build up of these foods clog the system and allow toxins to flourish in your body which eventually shows up in your skin.
   
   
2. 8 to 10 glasses of water a day is included in most every diet, but truly plays an important role in an acne diet because it helps to flush the system of toxins.
   
   
3. One seriously overlooked item, but indispensable for an acne diet is an internal cleansing. You need to find a colon cleanser that is all natural which promotes adding microflora into the body to support colon health and increase detoxification in the body.
   
   
4. A good acne diet will also have you cleanse your skin by sitting in steam rooms or saunas or taking an Epsom salt bath with about 8 ounces of Epsom salts and 3 ounces of sea salts in warm water.  Soak for up to 20 minutes and get out of the bath carefully as you might not feel well.  Wrap up in several towels and then head off to bed.  This is an excellent skin cleanser.
   
   
5. Every acne diet should include exercise.  Get up, get moving.  Just walking or bouncing on a trampoline helps to cleanse the skin and get the body working to eliminate toxins.
   
   
6. 100 mg daily of Niacin should be included in an acne diet.
   
   
7. Absolutely essential to any acne diet would be proper vitamins and minerals.  If you look into using the same manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, colon cleansers, and even pure skin care products, you will be getting the advantages of synergy.  This means that this particular manufacturer knows what is in all of their products and will ensure that they work together better and do not counteract each other.

In Addition to a Proper Acne Diet...

A proper acne diet, as outlined above, is a necessary contributor to a natural cure for acne. 

In addition, you must be wary of what you put on your skin.  All of the good eating, internal cleansing and excellent nutritional supplementing can be in vain for acne sufferers if you are putting harsh chemicals or pore clogging beauty products on your skin. 

You need to find pure natural skin care and cosmetic products. 

In Conclusion

Having great personal hygiene is key to great skin.  If you start slow on an acne diet and build to a healthy lifestyle, you will be well on your way to great personal hygiene and truly radiant skin.
