Fish Oil Supplement
We all know that Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that offer a wide array of health benefits. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the two major omega-3 fatty acids that may help in controlling skin’s oil production, providing adequate hydration and preventing acne.
After 8-10 weeks acne should have a significant depletion rate depending on the intensity of it on your skin.
If you are a vegetarian, then you may opt for organic vegetarian alternatives such as chia seeds, flax seeds, and/or walnuts.
Maintain your diet
What you put in your body largely shows up on either glowing or dull skin! If you have been having a hard time managing your acne then you should consider balancing your diet! Food items that take a few minutes to consume stay in your system for a long time ruining your digestive and hormonal systems to bring out the worst in you!
A high glycemic index diet affects your blood sugar level causing a spike in insulin in your body, this in return increases sebum production. Therefore If you want to have acne free skin there are foods that you will want to include and exclude from your diet strictly!
These foods include but are not limited to white bread, sugary soft drinks, cakes, doughnuts, pastries, candies, sugary breakfast cereals, and many types of processed foods.
So watch what you put in your body and start switching gradually to foods with a low glycemic index like fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and grains. You also want to cut back on dairy products that you consume!!
Drinking water for Acne Skin
Inflammation is one of the reasons due to less water in the body. Drinking clean water helps your skin fight inflammation and thereby reducing the lifespan of the acne.
If you want to have acne free skin then apart from drinking water, splashing your face with cool water many times helps reduce the redness caused by Acne!
