author : American Chronicle Date :15 July 2007

It is true that there is no acne cure, but it can be prevented successfully with the acne prevention techniques. The main strategy to use acne prevention techniques is to have better skincare.

The following are the top acne prevention techniques like, exercise, cosmetics, diet, hormones, hygiene, medications, shaving, stress, etc.

Acne Prevention Techniques - Diet

Diet does not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne . However, what is recommended for acne prevention care is that what is best for your body is best for your skin.

So here are healthy vitamins, minerals and other supplements that have been known and recommended to prevent and help conquer acne breakouts:

* Vitamin A or Retinol is found not only in some cosmetic creams but also in liver, fish oils and dairy products. Produced by plants, this vitamin is also known as called Beta-carotene, and is found in yellowish-orange fruits and vegetable; cantaloupe, carrots apricots, yams, and in green vegetables like kale, spinach, and parsley.

* Vitamin B Complex. The sources of vitamin B are found in leafy vegetables, fish, milk, eggs and whole grains. Vitamin B Complex has many functions, For instance, even though B-2 can irritate acne, it can help alleviate stress. B-1, B-6 and B-12 are also known for proving stress relief. And B-3, in eggs, peanuts, avocados, lean meat and liver, decreases cholesterol level, has an anti-inflammatory effect on skin and improves your metabolism and circulation, improving acne in some studies.

* Vitamin C - The C ester, A form of vitamin C, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has helped penetrate skin and prevent the return of acne. It is being tested for repairing damage to scar tissue from teen years.

* Vitamin E, in almonds, broccoli, peanuts, sunflower seeds, wheat germ and vegetable oils, has been said to help with scar tissue healing, but this is considered a myth by many healthcare professionals. Instead, researchers are considering that a form called tocotrienol (often referred to as high potency E or HPE) may carry antioxidant properties that may be able to aid the skin when ingested.

* L-Carnitine- this supplement is reported to help repair skin damage from acne for young and old.

* Zinc can be found in eggs, mushrooms, nuts and whole grains and Selenium are known to improve the overall health of the body, including the skin.
