Natural Acne Protocol

Suggested Diet – Avoid Acne Triggers:

• White flour foods, sugary and fried foods, alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, chocolate, fatty dairy, nightshade plants (eggplant, peppers, tomatoes), peanuts (and peanut butter), additive-laden foods.
• Minimize citrus, eggs, salt
• Focus on reduced fat, whole food diet; increase consumption of fiber and purified water
• A shorter, more intense cleanse may be helpful in kick-starting healing

Suggested Vitamins and Supplements:

• Vitamin A: 25,000 IU daily for two weeks (reduces keratin which can clog pores) – NOTE: Too much vitamin A is toxic to the liver, so do not overdo it!
• Vitamin B Complex: 100mg daily for stress-induced acne
• Vitamin B6: 250mg daily for PMS or mid-cycle acne
• Vitamin C: 1000 mg+ for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
• Vitamin E with selenium: 800 IU daily promotes healing
• Zinc: 80mg daily with meals; if causes nausea then 60mg – regulates oil glands
• Evening Primrose Oil (or other EFAs): 3000mg to enhance skin quality
• Pancreatic Enzyme with meals to digest oils
• 1/2 cup aloe vera juice twice daily to soothe skin from the inside out
• Bromelain: 1500mg to relieve inflammation
• Probiotic: 10 Billion+ live organisms in the morning before food – helps counteract ‘bad’ bacteria

Suggested Lifestyle Program:

• Try to get 15 minutes of sun in the mornings. The levels of light at this hour are healing and act as a natural antibiotic
• Sleep more – hormone and sebum levels increase when sleep is disrupted
• Exercise to oxygenate skin and promote the detoxification of waste products
• Meditate, do yoga, or journal to manage stress-induced acne
