3. Diet
#Myth: Chocolate and oily food are the culprit.
While chocolatey treats and fried food aren’t recommended on a daily basis, there is no hard evidence to suggest that either have any direct correlation with breakout frequency. In fact, the antioxidants in dark chocolate (think 70% cocoa or more) can benefit skin health.
#Truth: Keep your nutrient levels topped up.
To speed up your breakout recovery time, fill your plate with fresh fruits and vegetables at every meal and limit your red meat and dairy (both contain hormones that can wreak havoc with skin.) If you’re really looking to bolster your routine to fight future breakouts, then consider supplementing with zinc oxide tablets. And don’t forget plenty of water!
So there you have it, gentle cleansing with a mild face wash, specialised acne-fighting products and a nutrient rich diet are our top tips to clear a breakout in record time. Oh, and it goes without saying – never pick your blemishes!
