Acne Magazine

I get a lot of questions about how herbs and natural supplements may help acne prone skin, and the truth is, there are quite a few herbal ingredients and naturally derived chemical compounds and nutrients that will definitely help your acne clear up - many times dramatically. 

The degree to which an herbal acne supplement helps to clarify your skin and eliminate acne really depends on the herbs that go into the supplement, as well as how well your body reacts to the particular supplement you are taking. 

For example, some people may take the exact same herbal supplement for acne and get dramatically different results from others.  You also need to take other factors into consideration, such as your diet and your skin care routine.  What types of products are you using to cleanse your skin? 

Are you cleansing your face and acne affected areas twice daily, without fail?  Are you mindful of touching your face a lot, wearing sunscreen, and the types of makeup you wear? 

All of these factors play into how well your skin will react to an herbal acne supplement as well, since it’s not just one thing that’s going to clear your face up, but rather a comprehensive approach to getting the your face cleansed and cared for correctly, as well as taking in the right foods. 

We all know the amount of sugar and junk food greatly impacts our skin and therefore our acne.  So, we know that by increasing our natural sugars like fruits, while eliminating the bad sugars like candies, pop, cookies and other sugars, we will also help to comprehensively treat our skin.

Herbal acne supplements (like my favorite the Dermacleanse herbal capsules) most times will contain ingredients which have historically been used as beauty tonics to be taken internally to clarify and internally cleanse a person’s skin, like antioxidants for example, which are excellent defenses against skin imperfections such as acne. 

Also other “calming” ingredients may be included, which are known to help balance one’s overall body and hormones to ensure a smooth, even complexion and less breakouts, or elimination of breakouts (this especially happens when one stays on a good herbal acne supplement for long enough to realize substantial acne clearing as well as permanent results). 

I’m a huge fan of such herbal supplement, for your skin as well as the support and maintenance of a youthful and glowing appearance to the skin.  Products packed with naturally soothing botanics and herbs will definitely not only help your acne, but you will notice a new softer and smoother overall appearance to your skin - as long as you take the right product!
