Skincare Alternatives for Acne: Homeopathic Skin Care

Though the cause of acne is largely unknown, stress and diet have been implicated in wrecking blemish havoc on clear skin. Skincare-News.com's latest article, "Unveiling Clear Skin the Natural Way," explains that although research has yet to confirm these theories, many proponents of yoga and alternative skin treatments recommend a change in diet and a reduction in stress for beautiful glowing skin.

We are what we eat, and whatever we put into our bodies is definitely going to show. Processed foods are one such example. Dr. Nicholas Perricone -- dermatologist and author -- recommends eating healthy fats, such as Brazil nuts, olive oil, flaxseed and omega 3 fatty acids, which can be found in salmon or other fatty fish (e.g., halibut, shellfish and trout) and can clear toxins from the body. He also views sugar as a major adversary in the fight for beautiful skin and claims that sugar contributes to saggy skin, so the key to beautiful skin, he says, is in controlling your glucose and insulin levels. He also recommends eating cherries, apples and any kind of berries. Say no to grapes, oranges, papayas, and watermelon. Yoga is known for its health and wellness benefits.

All and all, there are many theories and natural treatments out there, just make sure to distinguish the good from the quacks.
