Proper education about the connection between acne and diet will change the life of someone struggling with acne and pimple breakouts. There are a lot of rumors and wives tales about what you should and should not eat but what does science and research say?
I mention this article as the new truth about acne because a lot of the information online that I have studied is a couple years old. Research on skin care is being done constantly so there may be information here that you have not heard of before.
First, we have foods that are scientifically proven to cause acne and at this point the only foods proven to induce acne are dairy products. Dairy products include milk, cheese, sour cream, ice cream and process foods that contain dairy products. Dairy food items induce pimples due to the hormones they. This milk was intended for a baby cow to grow up fast. Many people get pimples as a result of these hormones. If people were to leave dairy out of their diet they would most likely experience an improvement in their acne.
Next we have foods that are suspect but reports are inconclusive. These are the foods that have high levels of sugar and fat:
- Cakes
- Cookies
- French fries
- Potato chips
- Onion rings
- More…
Last, we have foods items that are thought to be beneficial for skin improvement. These foods items include:
Carrot Juice - Drink 3 cups per day. Thought that the Vitamin A is good for the skin
Cucumbers - Drink 4-5 8oz. cups daily for seven days. Cleans the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Molasses - Consume 2tsp with Sulfur daily. Blood cleanser.
Fiber - A high fiber diet in addition to an appropriate amount of water being consumed each day will shorten transit time. This will prevent food from getting old in the colon and transferring toxins to the blood stream.
Teas - There are a number of teas that people say they work for them. They are:
- Aloe
- Burdock
- Calendula
- Chickweed
- Dandelion
- Red clover
- White oak bark
- Yellow dock
- Cayenne
- Echinacea
- Ginseng
- Sarsaparilla
- Valerian
There is a group of people that think a pure diet and one that will aid in the purification or detoxification of the body will help prevent acne. A diet like this would consist of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and beans. This is a diet that will be high in fiber, antioxidants and will be free of preservatives, hormones and other food additives that some think would build up toxins in your body that cause acne outbreaks.
My personal experience is that I am a vegetarian and I never have a significant flare up anymore. This was my experience when I eliminated dairy from my diet. When I do get a pimple it coincides with the consumption of excessive sugar or fat. I have also noticed that I may get a pimple if I have not slept enough or am experiencing prolonged stress.
In conclusion, there is no question but that acne and diet have an inseparable connection. Foods can be categorized in a relationship to acne as definitely causing it, being thought to cause it, and preventing acne. I do hope that you give removing dairy from your diet serious consideration.

Pimples can get the best of all of us at one time or another. Whether you suffer from the occasional zit or from more severe persistent acne, the first course of action is usually to grab for a cream or medication to zap the little suckers. Those concerned with the chemicals in these type of treatments, however, may be interested in a natural pimple home remedy instead. One of the best and cheapest pimple home remedies come directly from the healing aloe vera plant. Aloe vera is great because it does contain proven healing properties for the skin and contain no harsh chemicals that will irritate your skin or the environment.
Aloe vera, specifically aloe barbadensis, is a rapidly growing plant the contains gel with powerful healing properties. This cactus-like plant is a popular choice for treating a variety of skin disorders including burns, eczema, burns, psoriasis, inflammations, wounds and acne.
Pure aloe vera gel is a great pimple home remedy for several reasons. For one, aloe immediately soothes and moisturizes the skin on contact. Secondly, it is also a mild inflammatory, reducing the swelling and the redness of pimples. Lastly, aloe vera is a natural antibiotic and anti-fungal that cleanses the skin and kills the bacteria precipitating pimples.
To get the maximum results of aloe vera, it is best to use the gel directly from the plant. Here is a simple pimple home remedy that you can do within minutes:
- Wash the face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry.
- Take a whole aloe leaf from the plant, removing it as near the trunk as possible.
- Cut the leaf down the middle and drain the yellow latex (thin juice between the leaf and gel). Be sure you get rid of all of the latex as this may irritate the skin. If you’re using the aloe arborescens variety, you can cut open the leaf and apply the gel directly without draining it.
- Remove the thick skin from the leaf with a serrated knife. You may find this challenging at first, but after a few tries you should be able to peel the skin and reveal a thick piece of gel.
- Rinse the piece of gel under cold water.
- Store any remaining gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it should keep for about a week.
Aloe vera is safe and gentle enough to apply to the skin daily. If do you apply to the skin everyday, you should notice a marked improvement within a few weeks.

Acne effects most people, from late childhood through adulthood. Acne comes in the way of “whiteheads”, “blackheads”, terrible breakouts, embarrassing scarring, and is never wanted by anyone. There are many vitamins and natural supplements that can help reduce the inflammation associated with a breakout.
When taking any vitamins, the body will only store what it is able to, and dispose of the rest, except for vitamins A, D, and E. These are stored within the body. Vitamin A can strengthen the skin, likewise, a lack of Vitamin A can cause acne. Too much vitamin A can be dangerous, however, as side effects can be nausea, headaches, menstrual issues, dizziness.
Vitamin B is great for improving skin tone, and many natural acne treatments encourage the use of vitamin B5. It is best, however, to take a B complex vitamin, as vitamins B3, B5, and B6 all work together to help improve the skin and other effects of stress.
If there is a need to heal from acne, Vitamin E speeds up the process as it is an antioxidant. It also helps absorb necessary amounts of vitamin A. Vitamin C has bioflavanoids, which provide an anti-inflammatory effect and also help with healing.
A smart combination of all of these vitamins can naturally help to fight off the cause and effect of acne. However, like with most things, it should be done in moderation. Too much of one vitamin can prove to be harmful, and too little won’t prove to be effective either.
