Acne friendly sugar alternatives – Yes, they do exist!
Posted by Judy Cheung-Wood on
- Go gourmet: Use raw honey or coconut sugar as the sweetener (but in moderation of course), this is a healthier alternative to regular sugar especially for making homemade treats or hot drinks. And if you simply have to indulge, treat yourself to dark chocolate (anything over 60%) to reap the antioxidants benefits.
- Drink water: From time to time, those sweet cravings can actually be a sign of dehydration. So, opt for filtered water, coconut water or add fruit to your water instead of the sugary sodas
- Add some spices into your life: Certain spices will add natural sweetness to your food like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Cinnamon is also known to lower blood sugar.
- Include foods that help acne problems: Certain foods have been linked to improve acne. These include fish oil, turmeric, ginger, green tea, nuts, dark purple and red foods such as berries, green foods like dark green leafy vegetables, and omega 3-eggs. These are just some of the anti-inflammatory foods that help minimize toxic build up in your system, fight free radicals, and promote health and well-being.
- Remember diet is just one small part of eliminating acne: Cleansing, and moisturizing, are also essential for clearer skin. SkinB5 is natural and effective and helps you manage your acne whilst helping you to maintain healthy skin. The SkinB5 Cleansing Mousse is very gentle on the skin and works deep down to remove excess oils and problem causing bacteria. The SkinB5 Acne Control Moisturizer helps keep skin hydrated all day long (without the shiny residue) and glowing!
- Take acne-fighting supplements: Lastly some supplements are critical for skin health. Antioxidant levels have been shown to be low in acne sufferers.
