The Bull stops here

Acne is something that we will probably all suffer with at some point in our life; it occurs more so during teenage years, but there are some of us who get them at any age.

There are factors which can affect the health of your skin:

• Stress
• Late nights/Lack of sleep
• Bad food
• Steroids
• Alcohol

Whatever you do your skin can give you away. Even when you pick or squeeze them they get red, sore and this makes them worse.

Good Foods/Drinks:

• Water helps get rid of toxins
• Omega 3, 6 and 9 - keeps skin nourished

Bad Foods/Drinks:

• Alcohol
• Sweets/Chocolate

Supplements:

• Zinc - taken at night while your body is at rest can help rid spots (if taken on an empty stomach it can make you feel sick)

Alternative Remedies:
