Foods for Smooth Skin After Acne

Besides cleansing and caring for your skin thoroughly, a healthy diet is the best way to avoid dark marks and discoloration once those unwanted "pearls" on your face have been banished.

PROTEIN

If your body is short of protein, you are interrupting its own healing process.

Protein helps the body regenerate skin, grow new cells and heal wounds faster.

Beans and pulses are rich in protein. Fish such as salmon and tuna also contain a significant amount.

COLLAGEN

Besides being very effective against skin aging, collagen also helps our lovely faces recover after acne.

Supplying the body with collagen speeds up skin cell renewal and fades those annoying dark marks after acne has been treated.

Collagen is found in animal skin, bones and cartilage, such as bone broth, chicken skin and fish skin, while fruits such as avocado, as well as green vegetables, beans, tomatoes and more, help the body make its own collagen.

VITAMIN A

Like protein, vitamin A greatly helps the skin recover after acne treatment. It stimulates collagen activity and strengthens the skin's ability to regenerate after damage.

Vitamin A is found in many foods such as eggs, milk and orange or dark green vegetables.

VITAMIN C

Besides helping prevent hidden breakouts, vitamin C also brightens the skin, evens out skin tone and helps fight the signs of aging.

Foods for Smooth Skin After Acne

Oranges, tangerines and grapefruit are among the top fruits for vitamin C. Eat fruit regularly for extra nutrients - it's great for your waistline too.

ZINC

Zinc promotes the regeneration of skin tissue, strengthens the immune system and helps protect the skin from damage caused by external factors.

Foods for Smooth Skin After Acne

Beef, chicken, seafood, pumpkin and the like are all rich in zinc. Keep including these foods in your diet so your skin stays healthy and free of acne.

IRON

If your metabolism is short of iron, the whole skin recovery process is interrupted.

Foods for Smooth Skin After Acne

Iron is plentiful in whole-grain breads and cereals. A bowl of cereal for breakfast is a wonderful way to start the day.
