Are you struggling with acne? In fact, Acne is the skin condition most commonly seen by doctors according to the Canadian Dermatology Association. Acne can affect people at any age –– babies, teens, and adults all have the chance to get acne. At Body Sculpting Regina, we have a variety of acne treatments to help you treat acne externally. Now, we would like to share with you 4 tips to treat your acne from the inside out.

Balance your Omega-3s and Omega-6s

Omega-3 and omega-6 are two types of fatty acids that govern levels of inflammation. Omega-3s tell your body to anti-inflame while omega-6s increase inflammation. The balance of the two fatty acids is a key for clear skin. However, our modern processed foods create a chronic state of inflammation since they contain excessive omega-6s and inadequate omega-3s. Therefore, consuming too many processed foods will cause imbalance, resulting in the appearance of acne on your skin.

The easiest way to balance the level of inflammation and anti-inflammation in your body is to increase the portion of foods that are rich in omega-3s and decrease the portion of processed foods in your diet. Foods that are high in omega-3s include grass-fed dairy, egg yolks, and fatty fish. And you can obtain enough omega-6s just by having meat, dairy, nuts, and seeds that are not over-processed.

Control your blood sugar

If you have experienced a situation where you were desperately craving for sugar and felt to crash and burn after indulging, then you need to balance your blood sugar. The intense sugar fluctuations inside your body trigger insulin spikes which contribute to chronic inflammation and, ultimately, acne. Balancing your blood sugar does not simply mean cutting back on the sugar you consume, though it is one of the many steps. You should eat more healthy fats and proteins since they can make us full and effectively prevents sugar highs and sugar crashes. Also, do not forget to reduce the foods with refined carbohydrates such as sweets, hamburgers, and white rice. You can easily achieve this goal by looking at “Total Carbohydrate” and “Sugar” parts in the nutrition labels to make the right choice.

Detox your lymphatic system

Your lymphatic system traverses your whole body and flushes toxins to help you prevent acne. However, lymph does not flow through your body all by itself. It relies on your body movements. In other words, if you just sit all day and barely exercise, your lymphatic system will be clogged and your body cannot eliminate the toxins and wastes, resulting in the appearance of acne. Therefore, it is important to help your lymph move by exercising, self-massaging, or dry brushing.

Eat one raw carrot daily

Surprising? This might be one of the easiest and most effective ways to treat acne. This is because raw carrots have a unique fiber that binds and helps your body eliminate excess estrogen which is a primary root cause of acne. Also, carrots are high in vitamin A, which is another great source to treat acne.
