We highly recommend these fantastic books for those struggling with adult or teenage acne, as well as for those frustrated in general with their skin.
The Clear Skin Diet by Alan Logan & Dr. Valorie Treloar--not restrictive in nature, rather an advocate of a wholesome diet conducive to healthy skin--stresses the benefits of foods minimizing systemic inflammation and promoting faster healing. It takes a more critical look at studies purporting no link between diet and skin health, and makes a compelling argument for the collateral benefits skin may enjoy when addressing internal issues in conjunction with good skin care.
Breaking Out by Lydia Preston provides one of the most concise yet thorough discussions on the subject of adult and teenage acne you'll find on the market. Promoting gentle skin care while de-mystifying the multitude of amazingly effective acne treatments available today, this book was the source of many "ah ha!" moments even for those of us involved in the skin industry for a while. This source minimizes the role of diet for the skin and focuses on what can be done
to the skin.
Bottom line, most studies "disproving" the link between diet and skin only failed to prove a
direct link between the two. In the face of helplessness that acne often wreaks upon us, it's empowering to take steps toward quality nutrition, a healthy intestinal tract, restful sleep, management of negative stress, and physical activity, in an often successful and therapeutic effort to dampen the acne process.
Having a good understanding of the origins of different types of acne, how different bodies react to create acne, what makes it flourish, and how different treatments affect different aspects of it, can only help in making the best skin care and dietary decisions for
you.
