Acne or to be more specific Acne Vulgaris is perhaps the commonest problem that often happens to people with oily skin. If you know the root cause of acne it will be easier for you to prevent acne breakout.
The major factors behind acne problems are…
- Hormonal changes acting as a stimulant for sebaceous gland causing secretion of sebum.
- Exfoliating skin cells.
- Acne bacteria existing in the skin cells causes infection in case of inadequate oxygen supply to skin cells.
- Environmental pollution – heat, dirt and smoke.
Three home remedies to control acne…
Diet plays a key role in maintaining blemish-free younger looking skin. Excessive fat and oils entering the body clogs pores and increases sebum secretion. A balanced and nutritious diet includes lots of fresh fruit, vegetables and proteins. The quantity of fat and cholesterol should be least in your daily diet.
Regular exercise stimulates blood circulation in the human body. It helps in functioning of internal organs and proper digestion of food and you get a fit body and glowing skin.
Drinking loads of water dissolves impurities in the blood and you get clearer skin.
However, if you still suffer from acne and pimples it’s time to see your skin doctor. He/she can help you get rid of acne with cosmetic dermatology treatment.

Developing a healthy diet is easy enough. It is not as restrictive as people think. We eat food to be alive and maintain a good health. But most of us love to eat. Isn’t it so? We do have a favorite item and healthy diet not always means sacrificing the food we love. It simply means eating a variety of food items since a single food item can not provide all the nutrition necessary for our body.
Our body needs carbohydrates, minerals, fat, protein, fiber, vitamin and so on. A healthy diet will include all of these. However eating a lot of food is not necessary. Don’t take more food than your stomach can digest. Rather what is important is maintaining a balance in what you eat.
Following a few diet tips can take you one step ahead towards a more healthy life. Make sure that you take grains, vegetable and fruits on a regular life. Healthy diet does not mean having unappealing food. Eat a wide variety of food items those are healthy and tasty at the same time.
Eat ample amount of high-fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, beans etc. They are rich in carbohydrates and low in calories. Avoid taking too much animal-fat. Don’t take too much sugary foods or salty snack foods. Try to have diary products regularly as they are rich in calcium necessary for strong teeth and bones. The most important part of a healthy diet is having adequate water since 75% of our body is made of water.
Eating proper food is not the end of the story. You also need to remember a few more things. Chew slowly the food. Don’t eat in a hurry and deprive yourself from the joy of eating. Don’t eat while working, driving, arguing etc. You should avoid over eating. Stop before you are full. Eat your breakfast early and have a heavy breakfast. Instead of taking three meals a day you can also go for small healthy meals at regular intervals.
