Home remedies for getting rid of acne

This week multiple studies from university students around the globe concluding that high grade zinc tablets taken in combination with high grade fish oil tablets are better for curing acne than any other antibiotic or stronger internal drug on the market. The study showed that minomycin had the lowest success rate, with roaccutane having a higher success rate but more side effects. The zinc and fish oil tablets had a higher success rate then the other two forms of popular internal antibiotics with no side effects.
Herbal treatments are also available. Studies show that vitamin A has helped in the reduction of acne. The vitamin A helps to reduce the amount of keratin and sebum produced. Another important vitamin is Zinc. Zinc helps vitamin A do its job. Aloe Vera has also been proven to help in the treatment of acne. It is 100% natural and contains anti-bacterial properties as well as an astringent.
Chocolate and other sugary foods do NOT cause acne any more than vegetables and fruit can act as the cure. What DOES usually cause it is an excess of a certain protein called keratin that is produced by the skin cells to prevent your skin drying up. This excess is in turn set off by things like stress, prolonged exposure to the sun, and seasonal changes.
