Taking Vitamins For Acne Is A Smart Addition To Your Acne Treatment Plan
You may be asking yourself, "why should I consider taking vitamins for acne"? Well, the answer is clear..."Vitamin Deficiency".
Think about it for a moment...how many of us really get our daily recommended dose of vitamins in our diet? I sure wish I could say that I did, but the truth is, I don't. Taking vitamins for clear skin is a wise choice.
Taking vitamins for clear skin is a good idea. Chances are if you struggle with acne, then you probably struggle with oily skin. Well, guess what? You should try taking vitamins for oily skin, that's one way on how to control oily skin.
I honestly don't have the time to eat my daily servings of fruit and veggies.
I fall real short and if you're struggling with acne, most likely you have a vitamin deficiency.
Our bodies require significant amounts of nutrients to THRIVE and if you are anything like me (not able to take in the recommended amount of nutrients through diet alone) then, taking vitamins for acne just makes sense to me.
Did you know that our skin is our largest organ? Our skin is our body's first defense against diseases and toxins. So it's important to treat it well from the inside as well as the outside
Considering taking vitamins for acne?
Murad has an EXCELLENT VITAMIN for acne prone skin.
When our body is acting irregular or out of the "norm" (blemished, oily skin) that is our body's way of telling us "something is not right"....our skin is actually crying out for help.
I talk a lot about hormones, sebum (oil) and
stress
as a
cause of acne.
You'll see how certain vitamins help in these areas---reducing your acne.
Let's start with Vitamin A
•
Vitamin A
(along with carotenoids) 19000 I.U. daily Not only is this Vitamin a powerful antioxidant, ridding our bodies of toxins, but it plays a crucial role in reducing sebum (oil) production!
•Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 100 mg 3x per day This is a powerful antioxidant that is responsible for ridding our bodies of toxins.
•Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 100 mg 3x per day Working right along with Vitamin A, B2 is responsible for healthy hair, nails, and yes…our skin!
•Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 200 mg 3x per day This Vitamin actually improves the circulation in your body-thus improving the health of your skin.
•Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic) 100 mg 3x per day B5 is know for helping with the function of our adrenal glands and reducing stress levels
•Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 100 mg 3x per day This Vitamin plays an important role in keeping our immune system in top notch. Without a strong immune system, our body is not able to fight acne.
Next we have Vitamin C
•Vitamin C 1000 mg 3x per day (IF DIABETIC, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR, FIRST)!
We’re all pretty familiar with good-ole Vitamin C, but did you know it plays a vital role in our skin’s health? By boosting our immune system with Vitamin C, our body is more capable of fighting off acne!
•
Vitamin E 400 I.U daily
This powerful antioxidant is responsible for protecting your body from free radicals. Vitamin E improves the acne healing process and repairs tissue damage.
Other nutrients that can significantly help improve your acne:
Tip: When taking Vitamins for acne, try taking your vitamins throughout the day, this gives you the added opportunity to take in your 6-8 glasses of water each day which is another way of improving the health of your skin.
As you can see, there is an array of vitamins and nutrients that can “add” to your arson. Taking vitamins for acne is a natural and powerful means of battling your acne.
I personally find that by taking a good multi-vitamin plus 1000 mg of Vitamin C daily, there is significant improvement in my skin. Give it a try and check in with me to let me know how it’s working for you.
I have teenage acne and it bothers me. Recently I purchaced Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos tea. After drinking a few cups i felt so much better! My acne calmed down and i felt good about myself! Thanks so much!

I got some Rooibos Tea Double Red Rooibos at my local organic market day before yesterday, because I had a sore throat and wanted to get a couple different kinds of tea to drink hot to help with my throat. This morning, I looked in the mirror and noticed, even though I've been awfully sick, how good my face looks. I'll have to get back to y'all about how I look in a week or two, but if this is the power of Red Rooibos Tea, I'm sold!

I've had severe acne for more than 10 years and i have a complete collection of acne cream and face wash in my possession. I've been drinking green tea for 5 - 6 months now, there were some improvements but not as good as i was expecting and the caffeine present in green tea didn't do any good either. But seriously ? After reading this article i thought why not? let's give it a try! As green tea was 1 of the only thing that actually made a difference, i started to believe in herbal teas.
While being on a low G.I diet, i brought a pack of fresh Rooibos tea and had about 8 - 10 cups a day...and after only 3 days, believe me or not, my acne was completely gone! Those huge cysts i had on both cheeks were all 'dried up' and can only be described as brown spots by now. This is so unexpected that i still can't believe it myself.
If you've had acne like me for so long and tried about everything, Rooibos tea might be the real remedy for some of us, but i don't know if the results would be the same for everyone eventually but well, just give it a try :)
