Acne Tips For Day To Day Acne Care

Acnezine (a natural antioxidant) treatment for your acne should be accompanied by a healthy skin care routine.

Wash the affected area twice a day with mild soap. Use soap such as Dove, or one that contains benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-5. Wash as often as necessary to keep the area clean. Do not scrub.

Keep long hair off the face and shoulders and wash it daily.

Avoid shaving as much as possible; while shaving take care to avoid nicking the pimples.

Use a fresh shaving blade to minimize the chance of spreading infection.

Avoid use of make-up or cosmetics in areas prone to acne. If you have to wear  make-up, use only the hypoallergenic or fragrance free kind.

Don't pop, pick, scratch, or squeeze your pimples. This may cause infection and scarring.

You may use an over-the-counter product that contains benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid (consult your physician first). Start with the lowest strength and apply once a day about half an hour after washing. Never use more than 5 percent strength without consulting a physician.

Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Acne:

Some doctors  believe that acne is not a food related problem. Some alternate practitioners  use diet as a basis for their treatment of acne. They recommend that acne patients should eat foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin,  cantaloupe and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables avoid fatty foods. Acnezine controls the oil secretion in your body to protect your skin from becoming acne prone.

Vitamin Therapy for Acne:

Nutritionists generally  suggest:

Chromium supplements - Chromium helps boosts the body's ability to  break down glucose.

Vitamin A - reduces sebum and keratin production.  (Caution: taking mega doses of Vitamin A can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle  and joint pain and other side effects. Consult your physician before taking mega supplements).

Vitamin E - an antioxidant (200 to 400 IU a  day).

Vitamin B-6 50 mg per day. This vitamin aids in the metabolism of hormones and supports the function of Acnezine as well.

Note: Always consult your physician first before making any changes to diet or medications.
