Acne - Vitamins That Can Help

Acne can be caused by and made worse by nutritional deficiencies and this is not so surprising when you look at how many refined foods most people eat, not to mention nutrient-poor foods such as sweets and foods containing refined sugars. The body has an amazing capacity to heal itself but this requires proper nutrition. Some good acne vitamins include Zinc, Vitamin A and vitamin E as these vitamins can help strengthen the immune system, assist in repairing the skin and help promote healthy skin. It is important that when you take vitamins that you do not only focus on a few vitamins but take a balance of all the vitamins needed - else you may cause vitamin deficiencies by overdosing on a few key vitamins and not taking a varied balance. Also, if you are pregnant or have certain health concerns, you should see your doctor before embarking on any acne vitamin program.
By far one of the most successful approaches to treating acne - or any health concern is to take a total approach where all factors concerned are considered. This would include resolving any nutritional problems, deficiencies as well as improving skin care, skin hygiene and any other factors which may be making your acne worse like stress and poor lifestyle. By following a total approach you would be more likely to get rid of acne without having to use expensive products or prescription drugs.
Vitamins are key to helping free you of acne as vitamins can help the body increase its ability to heal itself and increase skin health. Often though, many people who suffer from acne do not recover from the use of vitamins alone. Usually acne needs to be tackled using treatments to improve skin hygiene as well as handling any lifestyle and stress factors which may be making the acne worse. Therefore, I advise the use of vitamins along with a complete program which takes a total approach to treat acne.

Always remember, Healthy and radiant skin requires proper nutrition. Multivitamins should not be taken as a substitute for eating healthy foods. Taking too much of any vitamin or mineral can be toxic and extremely dangerous.

Beta Carotene is, in my experience the best vitamin for getting rid of acne. I’ve found that even if one doesn’t have acne, taking this really improves the appearance of the skin. Taking large amounts - 45mg twice per day - in short doses (say a week), then cutting back is the most effective way. It’s water soluble so most just passes through - but I’ve found this dose to be the most effective (and all at once is best too, rather than spread out). Give it a try!

My face acne because of allergic cosmetics, I’ve been to the doctor but instead there has been no change in my skin dry. Finally, now I only wear natural acne soap and do not wear any cosmetics.

I had acne for many years and the only thing that ever worked was changing my diet to a Paleo diet, which is low carb and I don’t eat grains. I have grains every once in a while, but over all I eat probably less than 80g/day of carbs and my skin stays clear. This is after years of very severe acne. So I agree diet can really help!
