You should also try to avoid eating red meats and try increasing your intake of foods high in fiber. Sugar is supposed to be the number one cause of acne problems so you should also try to reduce your intake of sugar or eat fruits that contain natural sugar such as mangoes, oranges and apples.

This serves to ease the pressure on the skin from having to work so hard in the elimination process of unwanted body waste. Herbal remedies include dandelion, red clover, burdock root, and milk thistle, just to name a few, which can easily be taken as a tea drink or as a pill. If you are not sure exactly how these herbs are to be taken you might consider consulting with an herbalist before trying them By adding herbs to your diet you will improve the functioning of the elimination and detoxification systems and you will note that your acne scars have decreased with the use of the herbs.

So whatever sort of diet you decide to take be sure and check with an expert to be sure that it is the right diet for you.
