The New, Groundbreaking Way To Treat Acne

Exercise

Exercise does not just release mood-boosting “feel-good” endorphins; it also helps the body sweat out toxins that might be accumulating in skin’s tissues, causing inflammation (and acne). Contrary to popular belief, sweating is good for the skin. It helps the body balance its electrolytes and increases blood flow to the skin where clogged pores are given a chance to release. Be sure not to wear makeup during exercise to allow the pores to breathe.

Omega Six Fatty Acids

While omega three fatty acids reduce inflammation, omega sixes increase it. Omega six fatty acids are found in many processed foods, especially cheap vegetable oils, such as safflower, soybean and corn oils. When foods do not have a proper ratio of omega three and omega six fatty acids, they become highly inflammatory. The skin (and the gut) is usually the first thing to become affected. Reduce processed foods and focus on walnuts, wild rice, flaxseed, and wild caught fish instead.
