Being on an acne diet is a very fascinating idea. After all, who has not heard the saying that chocolate gives you pimples? I believe we all have. So it doesn’t seem so crazy that by watching what you eat could prevent a break out.
Although creating a good acne diet can be very hard. Its very personal because it has to be based on an individuals responses to food. Progress, for the most part, will be trial and error. Monitor your skin closely. Keep a journal. You might even want to take pictures using a digital camera once or twice a week. If and when your acne diminishes stick to the diet plan you are on at the time.
Here are some simple rules to get you started on an acne diet:
* Take in a lot more protein - Many dermatologists are under the belief that protein is connected with clearer skin. This is because protein contains an enzyme that limits the production of oil. If you have oily skin, you know that it is very vulnerable to breakouts.
* Carbohydrates are not good - You do not need to cut out carbs completely. However, you do need to limit them to about 40 percent of your diet. This is because compounds in carbohydrates can stimulate oil production. This is the reason that junk food has the reputation that it causes acne. Actually, though, junk food is just high in carbs.
* 3. Drink green tea - If you can, drink real green tea. Brewing the green tea is the best way to drink it. But, if you really don’t like it, the natural green tea drinks will work. Green tea limits androgen production. Breakouts can be caused by the hormone called androgen.
* Restrict your salt intake - Salt usually contains iodine. This is the reason we usually call table salt “iodized salt.” For some with acne, iodine an cause major inflammation.
You must watch your diet and what you put on your face. If you currently have acne, you are more aware than most of what is contained in your beauty products. You should only use moisturizers without oil and natural and organic skin care products. These are the least likely to irritate your skin. You might want to start buying mineral makeup, that is if you wear makeup. Dermatologists are under the belief that mineral makeup can fully help alleviate your acne problems while enhancing the results of your acne diet.
