Being on an acne diet is a very fascinating idea. We’ve all heard that chocolate gives you pimples. I believe we all have. If you think about it its not so far-fetched that by watching your diet you could prevent acne.

However, an acne diet can be a hard thing to develop. This is very personal and its based on your body’s unique response to certain foods. There are rules to follow, but progress is usually by trial and error. Observe and make note of any changes in your skin. Make note of any changes. You might even try taking pictures with your cameral a few times a week. At the time your skin clears stick the diet plan you were following.

Here are a few instructions to help get you started on an acne diet:

1. You need to increase your protein. Some dermatologists even believe that protein intake is connected to having clear skin. This is because protein contains an enzyme that limits the production of oil. Oily skin has always been susceptible to breakouts.

2. Avoid carbohydrates. You don’t have to completely cut carbs out. But you should keep them limited to about 40 percent of your diet. This is because there are compounds in carbohydrates that can stimulate oil production. This is why so many people think that junk food causes acne. In reality junk food just has a high carb content.

3. Green tea is a must. Drinking the real stuff is the best. The kind of green tea that you brew is the best kind. However, if you really don’t like it, then try the natural green tea drinks. Green tea holds back androgen production. Androgen is a hormone that can cause breakouts.

4. You must restrict the amount of salt you take in. Most salt contains iodine. This being the reason table salt can be called “iodized salt.” For some with acne, iodine an cause major inflammation.

While watching what you eat, you should also be very careful with what you put on your face. If you have acne you are already aware of what ingredients are in your facial products. Natural and organic skin care lines are the best acne prone skin. Products containing natural ingredients will least likely irritate your skin. If you wear makeup, then consider investing in mineral makeup. By using mineral makeup you may actually ease acne problems and increase the results of your acne diet.
