Acne is a sing that our body is experiencing some kind of disbalance.
Our body is constantly trying to bring itself into homeostasis. When we’re experiencing disbalance, our body WIIL let us know. The signs can come in many forms and one of them is acne. Skin is our biggest organ and when our body is screaming for help, it needs to gives us a sign that it’s really struggling.
It might be trying to get your hormones under control or you might be fighting some kind of a virus or parasite (internally).
Here are few tips that WILL help you on your healing journey
FOOD / SUPPLEMENTS
The best way to truly understand what is going on inside of your body is to get your blood drawn and figure out what foods work for you and what food do not. Below, you will find a general recommendation for people struggling with acne.
Avoid
- Eggs
- Peanuts

STRESS
Stress can be a huge factor contributing to acne. We want to keep our “stress hormone” cortisol low. There are many options for dealing with stress such as meditation, yoga or any type of self care. There are also herbs that help to keep our “stress hormone” in check.
Add these to your daily routine to lower your stress naturally
- Ashwaganda
- Lemon balm
- Chaga mushroom
- Magnesium (CALM magnesium powder supplement)
TOPICAL CREAMS
Topical creams are not a long term solution but if you’re struggling with acne, they will help you decrease the pimple size. However, whatever you’re seeing on the outside is most likely coming from the inside. I high encourage you to focus on your health and be gentle to your skin.
BUT I know what it feels like to be struggling with bad skin so here are few ingredients that you want to look for in skincare if your struggling with acne.
- Gel based cleanser
- Niacinamide
- Sylicalic Acid
- Glycolic Acid
- Azelaic Acid

Sometimes it takes time and patience and sometimes it just takes the right primary and secondary foods to be taken out or added into your life.
