Natural Supplements for Acne
In addition to following the Clear Skin diet, it is definitely worth taking some supplementary nutrients. Your ideal intake will depend on your individual needs, your lifestyle, your diet and, the environment in which you live. Remember, though, that supplements are just that - an addition to a good diet and healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for one.
For a personal dietary and supplement program, tailored to your particular needs, it is best to consult a qualified nutritionist . There are, however, some basic supplements for good health and great skin which can benefit everyone:
- A good multivitamin and mineral
- Vitamin C (with bio flavonoids)
- An antioxidant blend (containing at least vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium and perhaps lipoic acid, glutathione, cysteine, lycopene, extracts of green tea, grape seed, pine bark or bilberry)
- An essential fatty acid supplements (perhaps linseed, fish or evening primrose oil or an oil blend)
- MSM
Individual brands will vary in exact content, so take them as directed on the bottle. Your nutritionist can advise you if you are in doubt. If you have a particular skin condition, taking extra doses of particular nutrients or other substances such as herbs can be very helpful.
