Healthy Food Habits
If you want to battle your acne from the inside-out and you want your skin to have that healthy, pink glow, include lots of water, green, leafy vegetables, citrus-based fruits and beta-carotene rich foods like squash, carrots, kaffir lime leaves, beetroot and kale in your diet. One glazed doughnut a day may seem like no harm, but the effects are adverse and excessive sugar in the diet, can weaken the immune system.
