Some people believe that acne is the result of poisons that are discharged into the skin due to poor digestion. Although opinions vary on the cause, most agree that there are several alternative treatments that can prevent or even cure acne.
The most basic alternative acne treatment is to follow a low fat diet, maintain proper hygiene and consume the appropriate vitamins.
Saturated fat intake should be very low because it can damage the tissue in the body and induces inflammation. Also, it has been said that foods that may cause the body to build up heat, like coffee, garlic or other spicy foods, should be avoided.
