Spring Cleaning may be necessary! Everyone needs to do it... Regardless of how much you wash and scrub, ACNE can still raise its ugly head... literally! Unfortunately many individuals think they aren't clean and worry that other people are thinking the same thing about them. Having acne doesn't usually have anything to do with being a "clean individual" actually many times it's the very opposite. Those that have acne probably wash, scrub, and treat their skin more often than those that don't have acne because they are trying to get rid of it. How much or how often you scrub can often cause your skin to be worse off. Put down the wash-cloth and take a look at what you're putting INTO your body as well as ON your skin. You may have an imbalance of whatever your eating, drinking or ingesting... too much and even too little of something can throw off your skin. Before you turn to antibiotics or invasive and expensive medical treatments, consider some of these natural treatments to coincide with your skin care regime:

INCREASE ZINC- Zinc can boost your immune system, reduce inflammation and can heal damaged skin. Great sources of Zinc ar Nuts (like almonds), wheat bran cereal, chickpeas and of course supplements are an easy option.
