Common conclusions
Mix one part of apple cider vinegar with three parts of water and apply it to the infected areas. After about 20 seconds, rinse with water, and pat it dry. Repeat this process about once or twice a day. What happens is that the succinic acid suppresses inflammation and reduces the possibility of scars. Also, it dries up the acne quickly and removes all the surrounding viruses and bacteria.
Check with your healthcare provider and start taking a zinc supplement as research shows that it is one of the most effective supplements for acne. The recommended limit is 40mg per day, so avoid taking more than that as consuming too much zinc can have side effects such as stomach pain and even irritation in your gut area. At the same time, applying zinc on your acne is not known to be effective because zinc is not absorbed easily by the skin. So, take the supplements after checking with your doctor.
Start exfoliating regularly as it reduces acne by removing those skin cells that clog the pores. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells that tend to form as the top-most layer on your skin and by removing them, your skin breathes better and is healthier, thereby reducing the possibility of dirt to clog the oily pores of your skin.
Good diet is the most important weapon to fight acne. In fact, experts recommend a diet that has a low glycemic index as it reduces the production of sebum, that in turn, causes acne. This means you should include more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains to your food regularly.
When you are stressed, certain hormones are released by your body as a way to cope with it and these hormones are known to increase sebum production, thereby making your acne worse than before. In addition, when you're stressed, your body spends considerable resources to calm you and this increases the healing time of your acne. To reduce stress, do more yoga, and meditation and make sure you have a good night sleep. Take deep breaths often and do whatever is necessary to bring down your stress levels.
Excellent! Make sure you continue with your routine.
It is time to start exercising because regular exercise boosts the circulation of healthy blood and in turn, this nourishes the skin and flushes out all the toxins. It also promotes a healthy balance of your hormones, thereby reducing the chances of an acne flare-up. Moreover, it can reduce stress and anxiety that are known to increase the possibility of acne. Due to these benefits, it is recommended to do some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes, three to five times a week.
