Acne - Which Vitamins Help Treat Acne?
AcneAcne effects most people, from late childhood through adulthood. Acne comes in the way of "whiteheads", "blackheads", terrible breakouts, embarrassing scarring, and is never wanted by anyone. There are many vitamins and natural supplements that can help reduce the inflammation associated with a breakout.
When taking any vitamins, the body will only store what it is able to, and dispose of the rest, except for vitamins A, D, and E. These are stored within the body. Vitamin A can strengthen the skin, likewise, a lack of Vitamin A can cause acne. Too much vitamin A can be dangerous, however, as side effects can be nausea, headaches, menstrual issues, dizziness.
Vitamin B is great for improving skin tone, and many natural acne treatments encourage the use of vitamin B5. It is best, however, to take a B complex vitamin, as vitamins B3, B5, and B6 all work together to help improve the skin and other effects of stress.
If there is a need to heal from acne, Vitamin E speeds up the process as it is an antioxidant. It also helps absorb necessary amounts of vitamin A. Vitamin C has bioflavanoids, which provide an anti-inflammatory effect and also help with healing.
A smart combination of all of these vitamins can naturally help to fight off the cause and effect of acne. However, like with most things, it should be done in moderation. Too much of one vitamin can prove to be harmful, and too little won't prove to be effective either.
