Help is here at last!

Here are some tips for you to follow in case you suffer from outbreaks of acne, and even if you don't need them yourself, you can pass them on to a friend who is in need.

These tips have been derived from the vast experience of our nutritionist from London and our qualified and experienced dermatologists who are an integral part of our team of doctors.

Dietary tips:

Sulphur-rich foods such as onions and garlic are helpful in reducing outbreaks

Increase zinc-rich foods such as soybeans, whole grains, sunflower seeds and raw nuts

Drink plenty of water

Avoid sugar, cigarettes, fried and high-fat foods

Keep dairy items and red meat to a minimum

Skin care in general:

Avoid scrubbing hard / over-washing acne-afflicted areas

Avoid touching your face often

Do not squeeze pimples since this can push the infection further into the skin

Protect your skin from the sun

Keep your hair clean and keep it away from the face

Avoid using greasy or cream based make-up

Always remove make-up before going to sleep

Exercise regularly

After a heavy workout or exercise, take a bath because the sweat on skin can trap bacteria

Always use clean clothes which allow your skin to breathe
