Minerals and vitamins are essential for skin health. Because we absorb most of our nutrients from our diet, if you are not eating a wide variety of nutritious foods, you are most likely lacking some of these nutrients.
If your skin is not receiving the proper nutrition for its’ cell functions, the regenerative and repair processes will get interrupted and you can develop dryness, peeling, extra oil production, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
While taking natural supplements can correct these deficiencies, not all supplements are beneficial for the skin especially if you are acne-prone.
These are some supplements that help clear your acne:
Zinc
Most people with acne have lower levels of zinc in their body. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that helps balance your hormones and accelerates the production of Vitamin A in the skin.
Omega-3
This fatty acid helps clear up acne by reducing excess skin oil production and soothing inflammation. Stubborn non-inflamed acne can clear up much faster with Omeg3 supplementation.
Fiber
Fiber is a superfood for your healthy gut bacteria. Most acne clients often struggle with constipation, diarrhea or other digestive issues which can cause acne breakouts, especially around the mouth area. Fiber will keep you regular.
These are some supplements that can break your skin:
Biotin
Biotin can lead to breakouts in the way your body absorbs it and other vitamins. It’s not so much that biotin causes acne. It’s that it prevents your body from absorbing other nutrients such as B5, which normally help counteract the effects of acne.
Spirulina
All types of algae can be incredibly triggering for breakouts because they contain high levels of iodine. Iodine is an essential mineral that we all need some amount of in our bodies but in excess, it gets excreted through our follicles where acne takes place and can be highly irritating for our pores.
B12 Vitamin
Found in many types of meat and dairy are essential for the body. But research shows that taken in excess can alter the genetic make-up of facial bacteria, promoting rapid inflammation that’s been linked to the formation of pimples.
