is not just another blog with recommendations from nutritionists and medical professionals that fill the Internet. We try to set goals together and be sure to achieve them, overcoming various obstacles on the way to a healthy lifestyle. Conquering new heights together is not only easier, but also more interesting! Is it true? ?
Today I decided to touch upon a topic that is especially relevant for residents of modern megacities - proper nutrition for acne. In the era of technological progress, when huge factories work around the clock, and the roads are “teeming” with cars, there is no need to talk about a safe environment and clean air.
How can you change the current situation? Is there an effective way to get rid of acne on the face? What foods should you exclude from your diet? What affects the condition of the skin? Where to begin?
A lot of questions have accumulated, which means it’s time to find comprehensive answers to them. After all, for me this is also a very relevant question, since I am familiar with this problem first-hand, believe me. ? So, let's begin.
Causes of acne: list of unhealthy foods
Regular toxic emissions from industrial enterprises into the atmosphere and vehicle exhaust gases are one of the main reasons for the appearance of acne and blackheads in humans. However, there is an equally significant reason for the occurrence of acne, dermatitis, psoriasis and other skin diseases - unhealthy and unbalanced diet.
Guys, spoiled and harmful products, a variety of which are presented on the shelves of most Russian grocery stores, contain mycotoxins. Such substances disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, negatively affecting the skin of the face and back (often these areas of the body “suffer”).
I would like to note that you can learn more about the negative effects of such food on the body in the article. The goals in this case are different, but the reason is the same - an unbalanced diet. I agree that giving up some foods will be especially difficult. Needless to say, I myself do not adhere to an ideal healthy diet, although I strive for it. ?
The girls have probably already thought about the disadvantages of life without sweets and confectionery. Men diligently read the paragraphs with alcohol and cigarettes, trying to find the “exception” footnote. ? Fortunately, there will be no “BUTs” in the above list - albeit gradually, you will have to exclude all of the above products from your menu.
The basics of proper nutrition for acne: choosing healthy foods
To dispel the melancholy of our readers about the ban on their favorite but unhealthy foods, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the list of healthy foods. This is the kind of food that will help us get rid of acne, rejuvenating the skin and giving it a “healthy” tone:
- Fiber and antioxidants– improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, promote the removal of harmful substances and microelements (vegetables and fruits) from the body.
- Animal proteins– building materials for cells (seafood, lean meat and lean fish).
- Vitamins "E" and "A"– irreplaceable components of “youth” and “beauty” formulas (spinach, nuts, citrus fruits, carrots, beef liver, cereals).
- Selenium– a mineral that strengthens the immune system (nuts, seafood, corn, wheat, chicken, turkey, rice, bran).
- Katekhin– an important trace element that prevents the onset of inflammatory processes (green tea).
- Bactericidal substances– “wash out” toxins from the body and “remove” lipids (ginger, lemon, parsley, carrots, garlic).
- Zinc– an essential substance for humans that controls the functioning of the sebaceous glands (fish, beef, cottage cheese, oysters, asparagus and bran).
- Vitamin "B"– components involved in the fermentation process important for the body (cereals, hard cheeses, legumes, cabbage).
- Omega-3 fatty acids– help reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, prevent the formation of carbohydrate deposits (fish oil, flaxseed and olive oils).
Considering that we can prepare healthy products, we have an excellent choice. The main thing is to rationally calculate your time so that kitchen chores are not a burden. If we properly tune in to the upcoming changes in our diet, they will remain completely unnoticeable to us.
Useful advice from Start-health: “Tincture and mask of aloe leaves are effective ways to combat acne on the body. Drink 50 milliliters of healing decoction daily (aloe juice to 70% alcohol in a ratio of 1/5) or apply a mask for 20-30 minutes and you can forget about acne. This plant, based on reviews from followers of traditional medicine, is the most effective medicine in the fight against problem skin.”
There are many diets and practical tips for eliminating acne on the Internet. If you read the theoretical part in detail, it becomes clear that the information is monotonous and “blurred”. Friends, in reality everything is simpler. ?
Replacing harmful products with healthy alternatives that help get rid of acne and prevent hormonal imbalance are the basics.
There is no need to invent a “bicycle” where medicine has long identified an effective method of combating skin diseases. However, I still prepared some useful tips for our subscribers. To speed up the process of acne removal, nutritionists recommend taking the following nutritional supplements daily:
- 1000–1500 ml of evening primrose oil containing gamma-linolenic acid (the properties of this extract are similar to mother’s milk).
- 30 mg zinc citrate.
- 250 mg of vitamins “A” in capsules or tablets.
- 40 mg of a mixture of tocopherols, which contain a high content of vitamin E.
Having familiarized yourself with the basics of dietary nutrition, I also recommend remembering the simple rules of the 5 “Ps”:
- “P” stick to small meals (the time interval between meals should be no more than 3-4 hours).
- “Drink” a lot of water (a person’s daily norm is at least 2 liters of liquid).
- Eat your last meal 4 hours before bedtime (before resting, you can allow yourself a glass of low-fat kefir).
- “P” correctly combine healthy dishes, taking advantage of the healing and fat-burning properties of foods.
- “P” prefer culinary masterpieces of the Mediterranean, Japanese and European styles in the world of food (such cuisines are characterized by a high content of food with a low glycemic index).
By following a diet, following a diet and taking nutritional supplements, you can get rid of acne quite quickly. The body will simply stop releasing malignant toxins that cause blackheads and pimples.
Unexpected results: “Guys, you will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised by the complex effect of proper nutrition. The condition of the skin and nails, teeth and hair will improve significantly, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract will improve, the metabolic process will normalize and the extra pounds will “go away.”
Friends, if you know other effective methods for eliminating acne, be sure to share useful information with our readers. When studying any issue, information based on personal experience is especially valuable.
Perhaps a preventive mask against acne helped you or you found a “miracle” product that neutralizes the appearance of mycotoxins in the body. By allocating 2 minutes of your time to write a comment, you can become a “savior” for millions of compatriots.
See you soon on the web pages of our blog, guys! All the best! ?

Acne is a cosmetic problem that is traditionally considered typical for teenagers. However, skin rashes often bother adults too. Most representatives of the fair sex, having noticed uninvited “guests,” often make the same traditional mistake: they cover up acne lesions with decorative cosmetics. This is only a momentary solution that will not remove the problem itself, but will simply mask its manifestations. In order to choose the best method for getting rid of acne, you should contact a cosmetologist and reconsider your diet. The specialist will first ask you about what you eat when you come to see him.
A proper diet is one of the important components in the fight for healthy and beautiful skin. Only an integrated approach, combining external remedies and the right diet, can rid you of skin rashes once and for all. Any inflammatory processes, the appearance of acne or acne indicate that it’s time to choose a diet for acne.
Causes of acne
The causes of any skin rash vary. The issue may be hormonal instability, diseases of some internal organs and other disorders in the body. However, most often, acne signals that there are certain errors in the diet that need to be eliminated.
For example, nutritionists have long found out that excess leads to intense insulin production, which, in turn, provokes an increase in the level of male androgen hormones. As a result, the production of sebum increases, which clogs the pores. This is the first step towards acne.
In addition, experts have long established a connection between skin condition and intestinal condition. The diet of a modern person is far from ideal, and therefore it often becomes the cause of disturbances in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, waste and toxins build up in the body, and metabolic processes slow down. The intestines cease to perform their direct function; they simply cannot cope with the removal of toxic substances that are absorbed and begin to destroy the body from the inside. The skin is involved in the cleansing function, “dumping” toxins through the pores. As a result, irritation, pimples, the notorious “blackheads” and acne occur.
Therefore, cleansing the intestines and normalizing the gastrointestinal tract are the first step towards getting rid of skin problems.
Basic principles of an acne diet
The peculiarity of a diet designed to solve the problem of acne and pimples is that specialists can only provide general recommendations. Each organism is individual, and therefore it is necessary to compile a diet gradually, taking into account all the characteristics, lifestyle and possible intolerance to certain products. Rapid and sudden changes in diet can have a negative impact on well-being
The first step in the fight for healthy skin, as noted above, should be the normalization of intestinal function. In order to get rid of dysbacteriosis, you should include in your diet soluble and, helping to create a favorable environment for the proliferation of beneficial microflora.
Whole grain pasta, brown rice, wheat bran, etc. are rich in natural dietary fiber.
What kind of processing the food undergoes is of great importance. For those who have skin problems, nutritionists recommend minimizing the presence of fried foods in their diet. Use a double boiler or multicooker - they will help not only cook with a minimum amount, but also preserve the maximum amount of vitamins and minerals in foods.
For problem skin, it is recommended to include foods with a high content in your diet every day. We are talking about wheat bran, lean and seafood. Zinc, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the sebaceous glands, normalizes their functions.
Vitamins are also responsible for skin condition. Thus, thanks to its outstanding anti-inflammatory properties, it promotes wound healing, removes redness and peeling, and evens out skin texture. The highest concentration of this substance is in dairy products.
Finally, for any skin problems, fish must be present in the diet. It is rich, the role of which in the condition of the skin is difficult to overestimate. These substances have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, stopping even chronic processes. They speed up the healing process, are responsible for skin elasticity, and tone it.
- Fresh vegetables and fruits. They are rich in fiber, which is responsible for normalizing intestinal function. Nutritionists recommend holding vegetable or fruit fasting days at least once a month.
- Porridge should be consumed at least three times a week. Opt for buckwheat and brown rice.
- allowed in limited quantities. It is better to choose coarse grind.
- Fermented milk products should also be on the menu. Choose something that is not too fatty, don’t forget about it.
- Lean meats - beef, without skin. Meat should be present in the diet at least twice a week. Steam or grill it.
- - a natural healthy source of a whole list of useful substances. Add it to vegetable salads.
- Pure, mineral water without gas. Proper drinking regimen (at least eight glasses daily) promotes cell regeneration and overall rejuvenation of the body.
- - a source of the anti-inflammatory chemical element catechin. It is better not to add sugar to it.
- Nuts are a storehouse of omega-3 fatty acids. Of course, you should choose nuts in their “natural” form, without chemical flavoring additives.
"Black list" of products
Some foods present in our diet should be excluded if any skin problems occur. If you are not able to completely give them up, then at least reduce your consumption of all of the following to a minimum.
So, the “black list”:
- Any smoked meats, even home-cooked ones, fast food, semi-finished products.
- Seasonings. Those who like to treat themselves to spicy food can add it to their dishes - it has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps cleanse the blood. The taste of the salad will help open up the root.
It is believed that an excess of this substance in the diet can provoke acne.
Acne diet - sample menu
