Reports show that most adolescents and an important part of adults suffer of acne. Even though it affects 50 % of adult women, acne appears at males and females alike, no matter their nationality.

We offer you 5 tips in order to help you prevent or treat acne and maintain a healthy skin. You should know that they are not arranged in a certain order.

1. You must get fresh air and sunshine for vitamin D, this is an important ingredient for a healthy skin. And you should know that besides the vitamin D for your skin, your body and mind will enjoy the oxygen and in this way stress will be reduced. But don’t forget to use sun protection lotions if you stay in the sun for a long time, because you don’t want to get a sunburn. A sunburn skin means dead skin cells which block pores and lead to acne.

2. You should remember also that extra stress when planning a wedding, graduation, a move, a new job, a job transfer, a new baby etc. can lead to acne, too. When you are in such a situation you must plan your time carefully and arrange some extra rest – like meditations or listening to relaxing music-, or maybe you should take some time off and exercise (practice a sport that you like). All you need to know is that you must do all the things that makes you feel great.

3. Another important aspect when speaking about acne is water. You must drink a lot of water daily, specialists recommend three to four tall glasses of mineral or filtered water. Too little water can lead to dehydration, so dead skin cells which means blocked pores and acne.

4. There is a connection between acne and dirt. It is important to wash and maintain a proper skin, that’s true, but you shouldn’t over-wash or over-scrub your face or body because this can lead to a dry skin and a dry skin means a skin which creates more oil. And the result we have is: Extra oil + extra dead skin cells = blocked pores, acne. And here we are, back of the same old story.

5. And last but not least is eating a healthy meal, rich in fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. It was discovered in Brazil that deficiencies of selenium and zinc have been associated with acne. So add salads, dried fruit and nut snacks, juices and other healthy food to your daily meals.
