Natural Soap: A Great Way To Help Control Acne

It would be nice if acne was something that only affected people between the ages of 13 and 20, but unfortunately this is not the case. A good portion of us enter adulthood only to discover that pesky pimples and blackheads have followed us far past puberty! If you are looking for a way to remedy your adult acne, there are plenty of options on the market. However, we are firm believers in treating your skin with all-natural remedies. If you want to avoid the cost of expensive prescriptions, check out our suggestions below for the best natural ways to combat acne.

Invest In A Good Probiotic

We believe that if you want to look good on the outside, you have begin with cleaning up your insides! One of the ways you can do your skin a huge favor is to purchase a quality probiotic. You may wonder why making sure your gut is healthy can have any sort of effect on your skin, but it truly does. You see, your digestion is greatly affected by stress as well as by your diet. When your body experiences stress (compounded by a bad diet), your digestive system will not work as it should, and it is likely that inflammation will occur. Inflammation can manifest itself as, you guessed it, annoying acne. Getting your gut into good shape can be a huge help in reducing acne breakouts on your skin.

Take Fat Soluble Vitamins

Taking vitamins that are fat soluble, like vitamin E, can do wonders for your skin. These types of vitamins are known to minimize the appearance of blemishes from both acne and age spots. If you’re not big on taking vitamins, you may want to consider eating foods that are rich in vitamin E like dark leafy greens, avocado, almonds, sweet potatoes and fish....to name a few!

Take Note Of Your Eating Habits

Another natural way to avoid acne breakouts is to watch what you are eating. Eating a lot of foods that are high in simple sugars can absolutely cause your skin to break out. This includes everything from carbohydrate-rich foods like bread (which break down to sugar in your body) to sugar-filled sweet treats like candy and chocolate. The next time you crave something sweet, opt for a fiber-filled apple or banana. The less sugary foods you consume, the better off your skin will be.

Consider Trying the "Oil Cleanse" Method

Cleansing your face with oil may seem counter-productive, but the right blend of oils and a good toner can gently but thoroughly cleanse your face and, along with a good natural soap, be effective weapons in your acne fighting arsenal! To learn more click here.
