2. Dietary and lifestyle considerations when suffering from acne.
Besides using traditional Chinese medicine remedies suitable for their condition, people with acne need to adjust their diet and lifestyle to help control skin inflammation.
In terms of nutrition , it's advisable to limit foods high in refined sugar, sweets, carbonated drinks, condensed milk, and processed foods, as these can increase inflammation and stimulate overactive sebaceous glands. Fatty, spicy foods, and alcohol should also be minimized, especially in individuals with a "hot" constitution according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Increasing your intake of green vegetables, low-sugar fruits, whole grains, and foods rich in zinc, vitamins A, C, and E helps support skin regeneration and provides antioxidant benefits. Drinking enough water daily helps maintain hydration and aids in kidney function.
Regarding lifestyle , it's important to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night and avoid staying up late, as hormonal imbalances and increased cortisol can worsen acne. Keep your skin clean by washing your face twice a day with suitable products, and avoid overusing cosmetics or picking at pimples, which can cause widespread inflammation and dark scars.
In addition, managing stress, maintaining moderate physical activity, and following the instructions of a doctor or dermatologist are important factors in effectively treating acne and limiting recurrence.
