First off I want to quickly introduce myself in case you don’t know me already! I’m Marissa, and I help women with acne clear their skin naturally and gain confidence! I struggled with severe cystic acne for years and have dealt with really deep acne scarring (which is mostly gone, but I’m still on my journey to completely healing them). You can find all kinds of tips and information about acne within my blog!
Let’s get into the really good stuff, now!!
Supplements that can help clear cystic acne:
-Vitamin E
-Vitamin C
-Zinc
-Probiotics
-Omega-3’s
-Multivitamin
It’s crucial to remember that a supplement is just that- a supplement. It is important to eat nutrient dense foods and then use supplements as an addition to your diet for nutrients you may be deficient in or need more of.
It can be REALLY helpful to get a blood test done to test for nutrient levels so you can see if you are deficient in any nutrients!
Now I just want to briefly touch on what to look for when purchasing supplements!
When you are looking for a high-quality supplement, these are some things you should look for:
-manufactured at a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility
-no artificial colorings
-no flavorings
-no fillers
-preferably derived from whole foods and natural sources instead of synthetic chemicals
Keep in mind that you should consult with a healthcare provider before you start taking a supplement, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.
