Cookies, ice-creams, chocolates or custards, which are rich in sugar content, can lead to acne outbreak. Instead of consuming foods rich in sugar content, it will be wise to intake food, which can provide sufficient amount of vitamin C and Zinc to your body.

Many of us have heard about vitamin D , which is produced in your skin when you get out in the sun . While everyone is different, getting enough vitamin D (ideally around 10,000 to 30,000 IUs a day) can be beneficial for our bones , heart , and even our mood . 

But the question is: How do we get the D in our diet? As a general rule, everyone should be getting their vitamin D from sunlight, but studies show that the easiest way to get the nutrient from your diet is through oily fish, but even fortified food like bread are good choices. In fact, The National Institutes of Health recommend a daily dose of 600 to 800 IU a day .

To get the most from your intake, you'll want to eat foods like egg yolks, fatty fish (like salmon or mackerel), and cereals that are fortified with vitamin D . And, if you do find yourself with a deficiency, supplements may be a good option.

Acne is often caused due to wrong or improper diet. If you have shunned all doors of your social life for acne problems, you should try changing your diet. Most of the people do not follow a healthy diet plan. They consume spicy, oily and fried foods, which lead to acne as well as other skin problems. To get rid of acne, pimples and any other dermatological problems, you should consume raw fruits and vegetables as much as possible. When you are including cooked food in your diet plan, you should make sure the food is less spicy and oily.

To get the best result from your natural acne treatment, you should keep your skin clean and apply fresh water as many times as possible. It is better to avoid any skin cream or lotion that can increase the oil content on your skin. If the oil content on your skin increases, it will trap dirt and dust on your skin, which in turn will increase the risks of acne.

Avoid Touching Skin

When you are looking for a better treatment for acne, you should make sure that you do not touch your skin often. Dirt from your hand may deteriorate the condition of your acne and can increase the acne further. So, avoid touching your skin, especially the acne affected area. Also try to avoid hair and skin contact, as sebum from hairs may increase acne.
