How to make acne go away and never come back again

Do you suffer from acne? Have you spent money on stuff that haven't worked? If this is the case, you've come to the right place.

To many teenagers and young adults, acne is a serious problem. It can cause low self-esteem, confidence and even depression.

I’ve decided to list six alternative ways to get rid of acne. Some of these are methods that people whom I’ve spoken to have said worked, and some are methods that have worked really great for me.

Reduce your consumption of fast carbs
Fast carbs, or more correct carbohydrates with high glychemical index (often abbreviated as GI) can be found in many modern foods, such as white bread and refined sugar. Consumption of foods with high GI cause your body to produce a hormone called insulin, that apart from makes you fat also increases your body’s production of testosterone. Too high levels of testosterone cause a hormonal imbalance. That imbalance causes acne.

Reduce your consumption of dairy foods
Same as above. Dairy foods contain two kinds of protein called casein and whey protein. These proteins cause your body to produce huge amounts of insulin that leads to high testosterone levels and eventually a hormonal imbalance.

Take supplements of zinc
Zinc is said to help many people suffering from acne. Supplements of zinc are cheap and the risk of overdosing is low. When you take supplements of zinc, your acne may become worse for a few days before it starts going away.

30 milligrams per day will do.

Take supplements of vitamin B5
When I was seventeen, I suffered greatly from acne. I had suffered from it for several years, when I one day read about someone suffering from acne taking a supplement of vitamin B5 (a.k.a. panthotenic acid). I decided to try it out. Two weeks later I was acne-free, and then I had only used one fourth of the recommended dose.

2,5 grams per day did wonders for me, but the recommended dose was 10 grams per day. Some claim that taking high amounts of vitamin B5 can cause an imbalance in other B vitamins. I never noticed anything, but if you want to do it the safe way, complement it with a B vitamin complex.
