			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href=http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/clear-beautiful-skin-understanding-the-steps-to-acne-free-skin-2009-06-03/><img src=http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/face-washing-skin-care-feat.jpg class=imgtfe hspace=5 align=left width=100  border=0></a><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-339" title="toothpaste" src="http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/toothpaste.jpg" alt="toothpaste" width="300" height="199" />Many people are now looking towards natural home remedies for acne, instead of off-the-shelf products to get rid of their acne problems. This is understandable since it is both convenient and economical to do so at home. Before we go straight into any home remedy for acne, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the simple things to do to complement our acne home remedies.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Proper vitamin supplement intakes, lots of water and regular exercise will help to detoxify our bodies, and improve our skin condition. This will work hand in hand with the following cheap but effective home remedies for acne:</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">1. Did you know that your toothpaste can help to reduce the swelling of your pimples? Apply some before you sleep and you will see the immediate effect the next morning.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">2. Mix lemon juice with rose water. One lemon with same proportion of rose water will do. Apply it on your face and rinse it only after 30 mins. Constantly doing so will not only get rid of acne and pimples, but it also has the effect of lightening the skin blemishes.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">3. Use fresh mint juice to apply on your face.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">4. Strawberry leaves can also help to reduce the pimple swelling.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">5. Orange peel can also be used. Basically, you need to mash it or blend it, mix with some water to form a paste before applying on your problem area.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">6. Mix turmeric powder with some mint juice before applying on the acne. Wash it off with clean, lukewarm water after about 30 mins.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">7. Even cooking condiments such as vinegar and salt have their uses as home remedies for acne. Mix the two together, before rubbing the mix over the pimples. Leave it there for some 10 to 20 mins before removing with lukewarm water.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">8. Make a paste with cucumber before using it as a facial mask. Leave the mask on for 30 mins daily. Doing this will prevent acne from breaking out.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">9. If you can tolerate the smell of garlic on your face, then go ahead to apply some fresh garlic on the pimples. They will disappear after repeated applications.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">10. Even the milk that you drink is useful as a home remedy for acne. Blend nutmeg with milk and you have a powerful paste to zap those pimples away.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">While these have worked for many folks who tried them, it does not guarantee it will work for some people.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The author is a prolific writer who has varied interest in different topics in life.

They&#8217;ll try all kinds of products &#8211; from lotions, washes, preparations and ointments to pills, supplements and alternative therapies, in the hunt for acne-free skin. But the key to obtaining that perfect skin starts out with a solid understanding of the causes of acne. Eradicate the causes of your acne and you can say goodbye to pimple woes and hello to beautiful, clear and glowing skin.</p>
<p>There are a lot of commercial, herbal, and homeopathic treatments for acne available on the market today, and many fail to deliver on their promises of super-model skin. It is wise to ask your doctor or dermatologist before using any of these for the first time, or at the very least, take the time to research the ingredients on the label.</p>
<p><strong>Common Treatments:</strong></p>
<p>Herbs are great for reducing redness as well as preventing the development of scars which can remain after the acne heals. Echinacea and poke root can be used for their anti-inflammatory attributes to reduce redness. Witch hazel has been used for many years due to its ability to act as an astringent.</p>
<p>Retin-A and alpha hydroxy acids have been utilised to treat acne as well as to heal and prevent future acne outbreaks. Two common ingredients in over-the-counter acne medications are glycolic and lactic acids, which act to get rid of dead skin cells. You should always check the label and read any directions about a product prior to using it. Some acne products are not safe to use during pregnancy, therefore be cautious about preparations you are applying if you are pregnant or believe that you may become pregnant while taking the treatments.</p>
<p>Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) may be applied on all skin types and are effective cleansers to use for healing and for acne prevention. They&#8217;re natural acids which come from fruits, milk sugars and plants. AHAs work by getting rid of the dead layer of skin so that you can experience the newer layer of skin underneath &#8211; very much like facials.</p>
<p>An unnatural rate of oil production which can result in big irritated bumps that conceal pustules underneath the surface of the skin is a condition called cystic acne. This ailment can last for a very long time. If you suspect that you could have cystic acne, please make an appointment with your doctor or dermatologist.</p>
<p>Harsh and/or abrasive skin products can actually make your acne worse so keep your distance from any skin product that you cannot pronounce. Natural remedies are becoming far more popular mainly because they are mild and cause no harm to the skin.</p>
<p>Take a good look around your place of employment to make certain there are no air-borne irritants which might be causing your acne.</p>
<p>Healthy skin is sustained by a diet which is rich in fruits, whole grains, plenty of water and fresh vegetables. To be healthy, your skin needs you to get plenty of rest, exercise and make every effort to cut down the stress in your life. Doing all you can do to help your skin remain healthy will also allow it to be acne free.</p>
<p>While you&#8217;re waiting to heal, you can hide acne breakouts by using a complementary-tone foundation (makeup) that is oil-free or water-based. Be sure that you take off this makeup prior to going to bed.</p>
<p>If you would like to regain and maintain acne free skin you should follow a daily skin regimen. This regimen should include: cleansing your skin at least twice a day (more if really oily) with a mild cleanser and clean water, pore unclogging techniques (strips, facials), getting rid of oil from your face with an astringent or by cleansing, staying stress-free, and eating a nutritious diet which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plenty of water (at least 8 &#8211; 8 oz. glasses each day).Regular exercise is also important for healthy skin.</p>
<p>Take these steps for good skincare and you&#8217;ll minimize the occurrence of acne and discover clearer, more beautiful skin.</p>

Acne can be devastating to your self esteem and self confidence and so of course you are going to want to deal with it as quickly as you can.</p>
<p>Of all the acne remedies in the world, there are a few that have proven to be especially successful at treating acne, and which will be discussed in more detail here.</p>
<p><strong>Tea Tree Oil</strong></p>
<p>Easily, one of the best acne remedies is tea tree oil. This is a very popular home remedy for acne, and is an essential oil that can be applied topically to the affected area on the skin. Tea tree oil works because it contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that has antibacterial activity. Of all the acne remedies this is also one of the most affordable, which is always a plus.</p>
<p><strong>Zinc</strong></p>
<p>Another of the most popular acne remedies is zinc. There have been various studies done in the past which have all come back with the same result, which is that zinc is very effective at treating even the most stubborn and recurrent acne conditions.</p>
<p>Zinc is considered as being one of the most beneficial minerals in the world. It is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell, and which supports a healthy immune system, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell, and which is needed for DNA synthesis.</p>
<p>To see results you may have to take zinc for a couple of months, so do not give up early on if you do notice any results. It should greatly reduce the recurrence of acne once your body chemistry is back in balance, and you can apply the zinc topically or take zinc supplements with your meals.</p>
<p><strong>Vitamin B5</strong></p>
<p>Vitamin B5 is another of the most effective acne remedies. It helps to restore normal hormone balance to the body and you can take up to 50mg, three times a day, but make sure not to overdo it because then you may actually end up making your acne even worse.</p>
<p>The most important thing is that you realize that there are solutions available, things that you can do to deal with your acne and get yourself looking and feeling better. Even if you have persistent acne and have been dealing with it for years you will be able to find a solution.</p>

In fact, we often become desperate when we are suffering from acne for quite a long time. Although it is not a life threatening issue, it certainly leads one to experience frustration due to so many scars over the affected area. However not all of us are really comfortable with the idea of extreme cosmetic care when it comes about acne treatment. Rather, we prefer to switch to homemade acne treatments, which are not only safe and secure, but inexpensive as well.</p>
<p>In this article, we will try to explore different types of homemade acne treatments. You must remember that homemade acne treatments can take a longer period of your time, but you can rest assured that it will benefit you at the end with the gift of pimple-free clear complexion.</p>
<p><strong>Good Diet, Adequate Sleep and Regular Exercise</strong></p>
<p>Good diet, adequate sleep and regular exercise have probably no other alternatives. Whatever medicine you take or apply lotion over your face, if you are not having these three optimally, you can never have a good skin. A good diet, adequate sleep and regular exercise can make your health fit and only a healthy individual has a healthy, glowing skin.</p>
<p>At a very basic level, a good diet can give you all the sufficient nutrients that can make you stay healthy from inside; adequate sleep can promote a healthy balance in bodily chemicals and hormonal levels and regular exercise allows effective blood circulation. So, before considering any sort of treatment for your acne problem, you must follow the golden trio – good diet, adequate sleep and regular exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Oatmeal Mask</strong></p>
<p>Many proponents of homemade acne treatments suggest using oatmeal mask over the oily skin. Oatmeal mask works like a great natural scrub and it effectively soaks away the extra oil from your skin. Apply the oatmeal mask for 10-15 minutes. After that, rinse it with cold water. It will certainly help contracting the pore and slowly restoring it back to normal.</p>
<p><strong>Honey with Grated Apple</strong></p>
<p>This is another useful homemade acne treatment. Mix grated apple with honey and make it a paste. Now apply it all over the face and leave it there for 15-30 minutes. Now rinse it with lukewarm water. You can apply this pack twice or thrice weekly depending on the skin condition.</p>
<p><strong>Herbs</strong><br />
Fruits and herbs can also serve the purpose of a homemade acne treatment. Burdock, sarsaparilla and yellow dock are very useful herbs that can offer you a really fast and effective solution. Tea tree oil can also be used to manage a sudden outbreak. The antiseptic property of tea tree oil makes it really worthy using over the affected area in order to bring result in a shorter period of time.</p>

Acne starts with a hair follicle filling up with dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil. Over time these things collect, and after they have built up enough, they cause comedas or acne.</p>
<p>Most people seek help from medications like Proactive or Acne Free, but acne can also be solved just as easily with home treatments and remedies. Home treatments for acne can be extremely effective, and are also great for the all-natural person who doesn’t like to deal with chemicals or medications.</p>
<p><strong>Toothpaste</strong></p>
<p>Most home acne treatments are things that most people find all around their home. Toothpaste, ice, and lemons are just a few ingredients that are used in these home remedies. One of the most popular home treatments for acne is toothpaste. Applying toothpaste at night before you go to bed and then washing it off in the morning is an effective way to treat acne and it is also very simple.</p>
<p><strong>Tomatoes, Lemons and Ice</strong></p>
<p>Another quick and easy acne treatment is applying tomato pulp to the affected area, leave on for an hour and then simply wash off. Lemon juice is also effective; if you apply lemon juice to your acne overnight, this can easily rid acne, but be careful this remedy is only for non-sensitive skin. One of the simplest acne home treatments is to ice down the acne before you go to bed. Just by getting an ice cube and holding it to the affected areas is simple and quick.</p>
<p><strong>Garlic, Neem and Eggs</strong></p>
<p>One of the smelliest home treatments for acne is to apply garlic directly on to the acne. On the other hand, Neem is used frequently in trying to treat acne. Any Neem based soap is a very good way to help get rid of acne. Even eggs can be used to treat acne. If you apply egg whites to the pimple and leave on for about 20 minutes, this treatment is used frequently because of its simplicity.<br />
<strong><br />
Back Acne<br />
</strong><br />
Many people, including adults and children, suffer from back acne. Back acne can be difficult to get rid of because normal acne medication doesn&#8217;t tend to affect back acne much. The biggest culprit of back acne is usually tight fitting clothing and lots of sweating. Just by simply changing shirts and always making sure you are wearing clean clothes when working out are easy ways to help treat back acne. If back acne worsens you can apply a deodorant or anti-perspirant to your back, do not apply too much or too often when working out because it is important to sweat while you exercise.</p>

When you use home acne cures to treat your breakouts you know the exact contents of the ingredients you are putting on your face and often you can save a good amount of money.</p>
<p><strong>Acne Home Cure Number One: Oatmeal</strong></p>
<p>Who knew that the hot cereal you eat for breakfast each morning would prove to be such a wonderful home acne cure. Oatmeal is great for soaking up excess oil and it is also good for drawing out oil and dirt from deep below the surface of your skin. There are several ways to enjoy the benefits of oatmeal as a home acne cure.</p>
<p>The first and most simple way to use oatmeal as a home acne cure is to mix it with just enough water to form a thick paste. Simply apply it to your face as a mask and let it dry for about ten minutes. Once the time has elapsed wash the oatmeal away with warm water. You can even rub it in circles as you are rinsing your face. This will produce an exfoliating effect that can help to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your face.</p>
<p>Another great way to use oatmeal as a home acne cure is to use it to treat body acne. Simply place a half cup of oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it is a powdery consistency. Add the powdered oatmeal to a warm bath and soak away acne on hard to reach places such as your back.</p>
<p><strong>Acne Home Cure Number Two: Cider Vinegar</strong></p>
<p>Cider vinegar has many cleansing properties. When applied to your acne prone skin, it can help to dry up oil without stripping your skin of all the oil it needs. It also contains many bacteria fighting properties that get below the skin to fight acne germs before they cause a pimple on the surface of your skin. One of the best things about this home acne cure is the price. Not only is apple cider vinegar relatively inexpensive, one small bottle will last you a long time, because for this remedy to be effective, you need to dilute the vinegar with water.  Simply add one part vinegar to six parts water and dab some of the solution on a clean cotton ball. Rub the vinegar water on your face and let it penetrate for ten minutes before you rinse it away.</p>
<p><strong>Acne Home Cure Number Three: Almonds</strong></p>
<p>Not only do almonds taste wonderful, they also make a great home acne cure. To get the most acne fighting benefits from almonds, you need to grind them in a food processor until they are the consistency of sand. Then take the ground almonds and apply them to a wet face. When you scrub your face with ground almonds you get a great exfoliating wash with the benefit of adding moisture to your skin in the form of almond oil.</p>

<p><strong>Zinc for Acne</strong></p>
<p>Zinc is sometimes used as an alternative acne treatment for those who suffer from acne. Zinc has proven effective in dealing with acne in two research studies, however, antibiotic medications have been shown to be more effective for people that have acne.</p>
<p>As for the cons of using zinc as an acne treatment, some people have complained of a metallic taste and upset stomachs from using zinc. If taken in large dosages zinc has several harmful side effects. Also if you think scarring from your acne might be possible you might want to avoid using zinc as your alternative acne treatment.</p>
<p><strong><img border="0" vspace="3" align="right" src="http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/honeysuckle-rs.jpeg" hspace="3" alt="honeysuckle-rs.jpeg" />Herbal Medicine</strong></p>
<p>There are some different herbal treatments that have been reported to be successful for treating acne:</p>
<ul>
<li>Some herbalists recommend <strong>black currant seed oil</strong> and also <strong>primrose oil</strong>. You may have to take it for three months.</li>
<li>Other herbal medicines recommended as alternative acne treatments are <strong>tea tree oil, Echinacea, and goldensea</strong>l.</li>
<li>Chinese herbalists have suggested people use <strong>honeysuckle flower</strong> to combat acne. </li>
<li>If your doctor believes that stress is making your acne worse, try relaxing by drinking a cup of lavender or chamomile tea.</li>
</ul>
<p>Although the majority of specialists in treating acne do not believe that foods cause acne, some alternative acne treatment specialists believe a diet rich in beta carotene which can be found in cantaloupe, carrots and other fruits and vegetables can help people treat their acne problem.</p>
<p><strong><img align="left" src="http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/soap-towels.jpg" alt="soap-towels.jpg" />Face Washing</strong></p>
<p>Some people recommend washing your face with a paste mad out of chic pea paste. One of the more unusual alternative acne treatments involves combining goat’s milk with almond powder and applying the paste to your acne. After a few minutes the paste should dry and then simply remove the paste.</p>
<p><strong>Homeopathy remedies</strong></p>
<p>You might want to consider seeking the advice from a professional homeopath for alternative acne treatments. However, there have only been a few studies that have looked at the benefits of homeopathic remedies for acne. Some homeopathic specialists have recommended Calendula for skin problems that involve pustules. If you have pain form puss filled acne you might want to inquire about Hepar sulfur. </p>
<p>If you are trying to eliminate pustules or acne that forms pits in your skin you might want to investigate using Silica.</p>
<p><em>It is important to get advice form experts before using most of these alternative acne treatments because some of them can have harmful side effects and some of them have not been thoroughly studied by professional researchers to evaluate their effectiveness or their possible harmful side effects.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href=http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/home-remedies-for-acne-cheap-but-effective-ways-to-get-rid-of-acne-2009-07-01/><img src=http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/toothpaste-150x150.jpg class=imgtfe hspace=5 align=left width=100  border=0></a><p>From mild to severe, acne has a knack of presenting itself at the worse times.  Fortunately, there are many home remedies you can make to help clear up your acne. Of course, remember that what works for someone else may not always work for you.  Our skin is highly individualized, with its own specific set of sensitivities.  Here are a few tips to help you deal with your acne.</p>
<p><strong>First, Try OTC Treatments or a Mild Soap</strong></p>
<p><img vspace="3" align="right" src="http://acne.savvy-cafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/soap-towels.thumbnail.jpg" hspace="3" alt="soap-towels.jpg" title="soap-towels.jpg" />First, start off by trying over the counter medications to treat your acne.  If your skin is sensitive or prone to drying, use a mild cleanser or soap.  You may have to experiment with different cleansers in order to find one that does not irritate or exacerbate your acne.  Wash your face once or twice daily.  Avoid touching your face, or excessive scrubbing or rubbing.  The best rule of thumb when it comes to acne is hands off.  Although the junk food-acne connection has not been proved, if you sense that a certain food may be contributing to your acne, stop consuming the food and see what happens. </p>
<p>If you use make-up, read the labels and purchase products labeled non-acnegenic, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic.  These products are formulated so as not to irritate even the most sensitive skin.  Avoid sharing make-up with others, and always use clean washcloths, towels, and make-up sponges or other instruments to avoid transferring germs to your face. </p>
<p>If your efforts to clear up your skin using over the counter medications do not seem to work, make an appointment to visit a dermatologist.  Your dermatologist will likely prescribe you with anti-acne oral or topical agents.  Common treatments include antibiotic therapies, including the popular tretracyclines, and erythromycin antibiotics.  Also common is the perennially popular Tretinoid, or Retin-A.  Retin-A is a moderately strong topical agent that is derived from vitamin A.  Most Retin-A comes in gel, cream, liquid and is applied once daily, usually at night, since Retin-A makes skin much more sun sensitive.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in creating acne treatments and lotions from regular household goods, you&#8217;re not alone.  Many household recipes have been circulated for years.  Again, everyone reacts differently to the same treatment, but the ease and overall safety of household recipes make it a good choice for those suffering from mild to moderate acne.  Here are a few recipes that you can create at home using everyday household items to clear up your skin.</p>
<p><strong>Baking Soda Scrub</strong></p>
<p>Making a baking soda scrub is easy to use, and many have reported successful results from its use.  This scrub is designed to exfoliate your skin.  Exfoliation is key in treating acne; since it focuses on removing dead skin cells that can get trapped in your pores and then manifest themselves as acne.  First, mix a small amount of baking soda (a teaspoon will probably be enough) with water to create a consistent paste.  Very gently, massage the baking soda scrub onto your skin.  Leave it on for approximately one minute, then rinse clean with lukewarm review.  Use a clean towel to pat your face dry. </p>
<p><strong>Apple Cider Vinegar</strong></p>
<p>Another popular home treatment uses apple cider vinegar.  Apple cider vinegar has long been lauded for its health benefits, including acne.  Some claim that apple cider vinegar has the ability to rid your skin of bacteria, balance your skin&#8217;s pH level, and keep your face fresh and free of excessive oil.  Apple cider vinegar is also high in citric acid, which is a strong exfoliating ingredient that can help remove excess dead skin cells and improve your skin&#8217;s overall texture and tone.  To use, simply dilute the apple cider vinegar, one part vinegar to eight parts water.  If possible, use high quality apple cider vinegar and purified water.  To use, wet a cotton ball with your apple cider vinegar mix and gently moisten your skin.  Don&#8217;t overdo it.  Apple cider vinegar is strong stuff that can dry out your skin, resulting in even more breakouts. </p>
<p><strong>Egg Whites</strong></p>
<p>Egg whites, rich in protein and vitamins, have also been a favorite healing ingredient.  Egg whites have long been used to help tone and tighten skin.  Simply beat two egg whites together to a consistent froth.  Apply the mixture to your face and let sit for about fifteen minutes.  Rinse the egg off with lukewarm water. </p>

<p>You may think you know how to wash your face &#8212; you&#8217;ve been doing it all your life, right? Well you may have been causing some acne problems. Washing the face twice a day, either with a formulated soap that is designed to fight acne, or with an antibacterial lotion that contains benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, can help prevent acne. Washing your face several times a day however, can wash away essential skin oils. This can cause your sebaceous glands to create more skin oil &#8212; and perhaps over-produce skin oil and cause acne problems. Washing your face or entire body carefully up to two to four times each day with a very gentle soap and without a lot of friction will leave you with a clean face and body and should minimize acne problems. However, scrubbing or scraping the skin with a rough wash cloth, may help you feel clean and refreshed, but that method is very hard on your skin and will, almost certainly, create acne problems by scrubbing away natural skin oils and actually damaging your hair follicles. If you properly care for your skin with washing and moisterizing, your skin will stay healthy for you.</p>
<p>Diet and nutrition: Another home treatment area concerns your diet. Even though science has not found a direct link between diet and acne it is very important to maintain healthy eating habits and to remember that we are all unique or, more precisely, our metabolism&#8217;s are all unique. Greasy hamburgers, for example, may not appear to have a harmful effect on some people, they may cause major problems, in the areas of weight management and complexion, for other people.</p>
<p>There are many reports from individual acne sufferers that certain drinks or foods, such as dairy products, eggs and nuts. These foods can make a personâ€™s acne worse. If you suspect that something you are eating is causing your acne, play close attention to what you eat when your break out. Try eliminating those foods.</p>
<p>The water treatment: An important yet simple home treatment for acne is drinking water. Water is the main carrier of nutrients throughout your body and is quite possibly the single most important contributor to healing and preventing acne flare-ups.</p>
<p>Wastes and toxins from what you eat and what you breathe will build up in your system and cause health problems as well as skin problems such as acne. The human body has four outlets for this buildup of toxins and wastes: the bowels, the kidneys, the lungs, and the skin. Your bowels and kidneys are your body&#8217;s primary outlets for this toxic buildup. If these two primary outlets are not working properly your lungs and skin become involved in the process, causing breathing problems and skin problems.</p>
<p>To keep your bowels and kidneys working at maximum efficiency, drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day; this will help flush toxins out of your system and keep your complexion healthier.</p>
<p>Vitamins for skin health: Your skin, just like every other organ in your body, requires proper nutrition to function properly. Since very few of us eat a well balanced diet, the use of vitamins to supplement our diet are very important.</p>
<p>Some vitamins and minerals are powerful antioxidants that effectively flush toxins out of your body; others have antibacterial effects. These types of vitamins are vital for keeping your pores open and healing any damaged skin tissue.</p>
<p>NOTE: It is important to note that taking too much of a vitamin or mineral can be toxic and extremely dangerous. Each supplement listed has a recommended dosage that you should not exceed.</p>
<p>The most beneficial vitamins for your skin health are:</p>
<p>Vitamin A: Vitamin A reduces sebum production and also works as an antioxidant that helps rid your body of toxins.</p>
<p>Vitamin B Complex: B vitamins help to keep your skin looking healthy and also have a positive effect on the anxiety and stress that not only accompanies an outbreak of acne but may cause further outbreaks.</p>
<p>The vitamins in the B vitamin family are: Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine and Cyanocobalamin. Each one of these B vitamins has a role to play in keeping your skin and body healthy.</p>
<p>Vitamin C with bioflavonoids: Vitamin C has been called the most important vitamin supplement you can take. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant and the bioflavanoids work as antibacterial agents.</p>
<p>Chromium picolinate or chromium polynicotinate: Chromium is used to reduce skin infections. A chromium supplement is especially required for people who consume large quantities of sugar and sugary foods.</p>
<p>Zinc: Zinc helps your skin tissue heal, helps prevent scarring caused by deep blemishes and also has antioxident properties.</p>
<p>Vitamin E: Vitamin E is another antioxidant that will aid healing skin tissue.</p>
<p>Multivitamins: Taking a good multivitamin with chromium every day will give you most, if not all, of the vitamins you need to supplement your diet.</p>
