Acne is one of the most common skin complaints that affects most people during teenage years but also extends into adult life.
- Heredity, stress and hormones influence the appearance of inflamed hair follicles, which result in acne breakouts. Diet changes can be helpful in reducing acne:
- Eat more antioxidant-rich foods, including fruits and vegetables.
- Include omega-3 fatty acids like wild Alaskan salmon or freshly ground flaxseeds to help reduce and prevent inflammation.
- Drink lots of water to keep the skin hydrated and healthy.
- Limit processed and refined foods, and opt for whole, healthful foods instead.
