Acne & Health

Hey there my names Tom and I used to suffer horribly with acne.

I know how self conscious it makes you, I even used to wear a hoody throughout the summer time just to keep the light off my face.

And just had no confidence in myself at all I found it to be a very hard time for me.

And so I would like to share a few tips and tricks here, which I hope may help you in your quest to get rid of your acne.

- Some people out there will tell you to avoid eating anything with B12 in it because it can be found in oily foods such as fish this is of course ridiculous. B12 however is essential in maintaining healthy skin and can only be good for helping to control your acne.

- It is important to drink around six to eight glasses of water per day.

- It is imperative that you wash your face at least twice a day to clean the sebum from your face and to un-clog any pores. This will help prevent the spread of any bacteria which would encourage the spread of the acne.

- A good diet is essential for all the obvious reasons so make sure your having your having your five a day (fruits and veg) these all contain essential vitamins for your body as well as your skin.

- I always found taking a zinc tablet once a day helped as it can be hard to get a decent amount in you no matter how good your diet and yet there brilliant for skin especially for acne sufferers. And you can pick them up from any health food shop.

All of the points above are very simple and are all natural ways to help fight away acne!

Now I got all this information and lots more from a book called Acne No More!
