This Facebook video released by Dr Axe is a great simple overview of contributing factors to acne with dietary and natural topical treatment approaches. In my office we talk a lot about how our skin condition is evidence of our digestive and detox pathway health. Here's the information he put together:
"Bottom line: If you have acne, you have internal issues. Your skin is a reflection of your internal environment, particularly your gut. So, whether you’re a teenager or even someone in their 30s, 40s and 50s dealing with breakouts, I want you to know you don’t need to reach for harsh medications. (In fact, one of the most popular acne medications to date is now known to cause inflammatory bowel disease.) Instead, learn why you should eliminate a problematic “sticky protein” and use these 8 natural acne fighters instead."
