Ways To Remove Zits
No one likes having pimples but help is on
the way to get rid of them! Below are seven solutions
for zapping zits and most are very commonsensical. Let’s get down to business
right away …
The first
solution is to include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables,
nuts and seeds in your daily diet. If you don’t eat enough
of these foods increase your supply pronto! In order to get
more fruits in your diet whip up breakfast smoothies in the
blender and juices made from fresh fruits. To get more vegetables
eat at least one salad a day and include as many vegetables
in it as you can. Snack regularly on dried fruits and nuts
such as pumpkin seeds and Brazil nuts because they both contain
the mineral selenium and pumpkin seeds also contain zinc. A
lack of selenium and/or zinc is connected to the development
of acne.
The second
solution is to hydrate one’s body (a lot) on a
daily basis. You can never drink too much water so make it
your goal to drink at least eight glasses of H2O every day.
Some individuals recommend drinking at least two liters of
still mineral water per day. Dehydrated skin does not shed
dead cells as quickly or as efficiently as hydrated skin. A
build up of dead skin cells can lead to the blocking of pores
and then zits, here they come!
The third
solution is probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics
are “friendly bacteria” that live in the digestive system but
with repeated use of antibiotics can be destroyed. If zits
(or anything else) have got you taking antibiotics then consider
adding a probiotic supplement such as Lactobacillus Acidophilus
to your diet. Antibiotics wreak havoc on the good bacteria
in the digestive tract which can cause poor digestion, constipation
and an inadequate absorption of vitamins, nutrients and minerals.
Why would this lead to more zits? It could lead to more zits
because waste builds up and toxins are expelled via the skin’s
layers as opposed to the kidneys. Prebiotics work in conjunction
with probiotics to improve the functioning of the digestive
system. Prebiotics are foods such as artichokes, bananas, onions
and honey. Consume more of these foods if you have recently
finished taking a supply of antibiotics.
The fourth
solution for zapping zits is to pay attention to
the skin care and cosmetic products that you use regularly.
Avoid skin care products that are heavily perfumed or full
of chemicals because they can strip the natural oils off of
the skin and this causes the skin to produce more oil to compensate
for its loss. Unfortunately this can lead to lots of blocked
pores and lots of zits. Look for products that are antibacterial
in nature. People prone to zits should use as few products
on their skin as possible- “less is more” is always best. Buy
cosmetics that are non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic (which
means they will not block pores). Natural products such as
tea tree oil are excellent for the face and body of those with
acne. Tea tree oil is very good for acne as it dissolves the
pus of pimples and reduces the swelling and redness. Tea tree
oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and antiviral properties.
It is excellent for deep cleansing and also has an antifungal
and antimicrobial agent.
The fifth
solution for zapping zits is to learn how to reduce
the levels of stress you suffer. Stress is one of the biggest
causes of acne both during the teenage years and afterwards.
When a person is under a great deal of stress the hormone cortisol
is released into the system which increases the incidence of
acne. On the other hand, controlling stress decreases the occurrence
of acne. It is wise to recognize when you are “stressed out”
and to do something about it. Find ways to relax such as exercising
on a regular basis (Yoga and T’ai Chi are good options), deep
breathing exercises and meditation.
The sixth
solution is to cut back on your consumption of refined
carbohydrates and sugar. Refined carbohydrates are white bread,
pasta, rice and flour which are bad for the growth of acne
while too much sugar causes an increase in insulin production
which causes the skin to dispel large quantities of sebum.
Sebum encourages the bacterium that leads to acne formation.
Finally, the seventh
solution is a simple one, get outside
and enjoy plenty of sunshine and fresh air! Sunshine helps
to bolster the levels of vitamin D in the human body which
is very healthy for skin while fresh air is both healthy in
a physical sense and also good for decreasing stress levels.
