Hi. I am 25 and have recently stopped taking birth control. Ever since then my face is blooming like a flower. Especially around my neck and mouth area. They are terrible and hurt a lot. They turn big and red. I am a big advocate of fitness and health. I eat very health and lots of greens.
I wonder if there are certain foods that are specifically good for skin problems and irritation. If anyone has an idea that would be great. I feel like a teenager the way I look now.
Food that is good for skin, helps with pimples???
Ummmm WATER! Water is the best thing for your skin... drink lots of it and stay hydrated!

Reply:dont touch your face with yur hands...put neosporin on them at night...wash face with hot [[[as hot as u can handle]]] water...this works!
Reply:chocolate lots of chocolate
Reply:It may be a hard change, but try looking up the 'raw diet' and eat foods like that.
I go straight up on the raw diet every once in awhile. I was incredibly skeptical at first, but it makes me feel very good.
Reply:cod liver oil is extremely good for your skin. i know this because my dad used to make me drink one tablespoon of cod liver oil each day after dinner....yuck! instead of getting the liquid kind you should get the tablets so you can swallow them. this is not a family remedy or anything like that, it actually works and even makes the skin smoother over a period of time if you moisturize your skin every night before bed.
for some people chocolate makes them break out, so maybe your problem is not what should i eat, it could be more like what SHOULDNT i eat
Reply:Vitamin A supplements are good for acne.
Reply:I don't think there IS a food that would get rid of your pimples or else everyone would be using it instead of proactive and ect. lol. but there are ways to prevent them. Avoid oily foods, and soda's. What you said a bout eating greens will help you..eventually. everthing takes time so make sure you stay away from those two things. and maybe you can go visit a dermatologist for some suggestions. good luck. (i hate acne)
Reply:so if you think you look like a teenager, use the teenage solution.
proactiv too expensive and its overrated
try acne free , its what i use it works great and its not way too expensive, and its anywhere you can think of , i get mine at walmart.
Reply:These foods will help with your skin, Low-Fat Dairy Products because it is rich in vitamin A, and some M.D.s say that it is vitamin A is a vital ingredient to healthy skin, Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums. This is because of the high antioxidant content. Good Luck =)
Reply:I don't know about foods but when i was younger tanning beds helped me. good luck.
Reply:Yes, there are certain foods that help with break-outs. Stay away from foods with grease. Like fried foods. Stick to like veggies and fruits, and low fat stuff.
And to help clear up i use proactiv it takes time to work, but it works, just be sure to not use the 3rd step to much for ur skin might get dry and flaky.
Good luck!!!
Reply:Vitamin E is great for the skin.
Reply:These are some websites that i found that had some pretty interesting information! Omega 3 and Vitamin E are really great for your skin also! I use a moisturizing face cream from the body shop that has vitamin E in it and i love it!
