Who doesn’t want a perfect luminous skin, it’s almost like a weapon in your arsenal when you don’t have to depend on makeup or filters to look incredible.
There is a popular myth about acne being caused by oily and fatty foods like groundnut and chocolate, when what they actually do is increase cholesterol level and the inches on your waistline. But keep in mind that this in no way invalidates the relationship between what you consume, and how your skin looks.
Researchers have found a direct relationship between certain types of food and general complexion and skin texture.
It is however imperative to note that the items listed do not contain magical powers, so you’re not going to get a clear skin at the first go. But, with consistency, a proper skincare routine and exercise, improvement is inevitable.
Fruits and Veggies

No one honestly likes veggies. We basically just have them because we lowkey know they’re necessary for survival, sad but true. Fruits are another essential part to add to your diet if you want to combat acne and prove your enemies wrong. On the veggie side you have Broccoli a great skin clearing food containing vitamin A,B complex, C.E and K which help reveal skin luminosity. While for fruits you have Avocados which is rich in vitamin E, red grapes rich in antioxidants and finally Tomatoes rich in bioflavonoids and vitamin C.
Fish

One thing needed in the battle against acne, is Omega-3 fatty acids. Yes, I know “fatty” and “acid” in the same sentence seem like a recipe for tears and sorrow, but hear me out. Contained in fish, this can help in taming inflammation which causes pores to clog up and cause acne.
So try some more salmon, mackerel and sardines to your diet and watch your skin clear up.
Green Tea

Now this happens to be the popular go-to for people who either can’t afford flat tummy teas or prefer a healthier more organic approach to weight loss. Rich with large quantities of polyphenols such as flavonoids and catechins, green tea is a great at fighting acne with its antioxidants.
Preventing environmental stressors, green tea also helps to keep the skin hydrated – we all know hydration is a major key to flawless skin.
Nuts
Zinc is an important ally in this battle too and outside certain vegetables like spinach, nuts are another readily available provider of zinc.
Nuts like almond, cashew and Brazil nuts are loaded with zinc and selenium, which acts as an antioxidant used in reducing inflammation known to cause acne. So maybe it’s time to incorporate some of these into your diet for acne-free healthier looking skin.
