Acne-Treatment-Whole-GrainZinc is important nutrient in the management of skin conditions and may assist in healthy tissue regeneration. It has been shown that acne sufferers tend to have lower zinc levels than non-suffers, so it may be wise to introduce zinc mineral supplement to the diet. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet. Other good food sources include beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products.

Vitamin A reduce sebum production

carrots-rich-vitamin-ASebum plays the biggest role in formation of acne. If there were no sebum, there would be no acne. Vitamin A may help to reduce sebum production. However, high doses of vitamin A can carry a risk of decreased bone density, birth defects, headache, and muscle and joint pain. Vitamin A supplementation may not be necessary if there is adequate intake of beta-carotene, vitamin E, and zinc, all necessary for vitamin A formation. Decreasing unhealthy fats such as margarine, hydrogenated oils, processed foods, and other sources of transfats can also improve absorption. The top ten vitamin A-rich foods are: liver, sweet potatos, carrots, mangoes, spinach, cantaloupe, dried apricots, milk, egg yolks, mozzarella cheese. Take note that alcohol, coffee, or excessive iron can all deplete your body's supply of this essential vitamin.
