There are some natural foods that actually lead to blemishes and acne – regardless of whether you are a teenager or an adult. Acne can be prevalent in adults as well as teenagers and there are ways we can avoid it – although pharmaceutical and drug companies will tell you otherwise.

The drug companies occupy a billion dollar industry and there’s a lot of money to be made. What public doesn’t know is advantageous for these companies because it keeps us coming back for more treatments - that continue to feed this huge industry. But what many people with acne also don’t realize is that what we eat can actually have a huge impact on our skin. What does this mean for us? It means less money spent on medicines and treatments and more time spent on enjoying life.

The Close Relationship between Food and Acne:

Every individual has different skin needs. But what doesn’t differ is that everyone’s skin needs to be cleaned to remove excess dirt brought about by outside environment. Gentle cleansing is first place to start.

Use a water-soluble cleanser:

Water-soluble cleansers are great because they gently cleanse your skin without stimulating oil glands. A gentle cleanse does not cause redness or dryness. It also makes skin feel soft and releases oil and dirt gently without damaging skin.

Once you leave those dry, irritating pore-clogging bar cleansers and soaps behind, you will notice a distinct difference in way your skin looks and feels. But you must remember to ONLY stick to water-soluble cleansers which are free of exfoliating agents, oil absorbing ingredients and topical disinfectants. These harsh ingredients do very little for skin because these active ingredients are quickly washed away – not providing any benefit on skin at all. These ingredients are best used in other stages of cleansing process – like moisturizers, exfoliators or for disinfecting skin.
