Bang boom knows what he/she's talking about. There is no proven link between diet and acne in the scientific literature. Drugs and good hygiene are the answer.Whats a healthy diet to go on to get rid of stubborn zits and blackheads?
It could help but it may not get rid of every pimple.Whats a healthy diet to go on to get rid of stubborn zits and blackheads?
Well... I don't know how much diet will play a role in getting rid of them. Here is how i got control over them:
I would suggest drinking more water, and eating less fast greasy food.
Also, you have probably seen commercials for ProActiv or similar systems for getting reid of Acne. These products can be expensive. The main Ingredient in ProActive is benzoyl peroxide. You can buy that pretty cheaply in creams at your local store so here is what helped me.
1. Wash face at night before bed with gentle clenser containing no Salicylic acid (doesn't mix with the benzoyl peroxide).
2. Rub a thin layer of the benzoyl peroxide cream on your face, let it dry.
3. Rub on a lightweight moisturizer (made for your face).
In the morning, just wipe off your face with a wet wash cloth, put more lightweight moisturizer on your face (containing no salicylic acid again).
For a week or so, you may notice an increase in breakouts and dryness, but afterwards they should start going away and should stay away.
I used to get 3-4 bad zits per week, not counting the little ones. Now I only get maybe 1 not so bad one per month, if even that.
Other tips:
1. Try to avoid touching your face
2. Make sure makeup states it does not clog pores.
3. Don't use harsh astringents on your face. They dry it out and cause more zits.
4. Make sure to use the moisturizer to prevent dryness.
5. Make sure you wash your sheets/pillows frequently. Maybe alternate the side you sleep on every couple nights.
I hope that helps some,
