4 Secrets to Get Rid of Acne Naturally

Hey, guys, Dr. Axe here from DrAxe.Com. Today
I'm going to share with you my four secrets to get rid of acne forever. I'll tell you,
this is probably going to be the most effective acne treatment plan you will ever hear in
your life.

I'm going to break down top foods to get rid of acne, the top supplements to
get rid of acne, the top face wash. Also, the top foods you must get out of your diet
immediately if you want to get rid of your acne for good. One of the main causes of acne today is the
buildup of bad bacteria, yeast and candida in your gut and digestive tract. So if we're
going to cure candida forever, if we're going to cure acne forever, there are a few things
that you must do.

Let me also say this. What are some of the causes of this? You may say
to yourself, "I don't know what caused my acne. I don't know what necessarily caused
bad bacteria to grow on my body," which again is a major causative factor. I can tell you
this right now.

If you have been exposed to or taken antibiotic drugs in the past that
can be a major causative factor. If you've taken birth control pills, if you've drank
chlorinated and fluorinated water, if you've consumed too much sugar, all of these things
can increase the growth of bad bacteria, yeast and candida within your body. So let's talk about our number one secret
for getting rid of acne for good. Remove these three foods.

Number one, you've got to get
sugar out of your diet. Sugar feeds yeast and it feeds candida, so we've got to get
the sugar out of your diet. I recommend getting sugar out and replacing it with stevia. Stevia
is an all-natural, low-calories/no calorie sweetener that you can use instead.

So use
stevia. If you want to use something that actually has sugar and you're baking or cooking,
use raw honey. Raw honey is going to be your best overall sweetener with sugar if you're
trying to get rid of acne. The next food you must get out of your diet
to overcome acne is reducing your grain intake, especially gluten.

Gluten can cause inflammation
of your intestinal tract. When you have inflammation of your gut it actually shows up on your skin.
A lot of people think when you have acne or a problem like eczema, that's just a skin
issue. No, that's an intestine issue, that's a gut issue. If we can heal your gut, if we
can kill of the bad bacteria, your acne and problems like eczema would disappear forever.

So number one food-wise, get rid of the sugar
out of your diet. I'm also talking about really lowering your fruit intake as well, really
only consuming berries in moderation for a time being. Lowering your fruit intake, getting
rid of grains or lowering grains, or at least going gluten free with your grains. And then
the last thing here is staying away from hydrogenated oils.

Obviously, bad fats increase the amount
of oil your sebaceous glands on your skin really start to produce. So again, getting
those bad fats out. If you can do those dietary changes, get the
sugar out. Rather than using grains, using products with coconut flour or almond flour
are good options rather than hydrogenated oils.

Switching over to coconut oil is a great
option for getting rid of acne. Let's talk about the top foods you've got
to start eating to get rid of your acne for good. Three main foods you want to be getting
in your diet; number one, foods that are high in fiber. Fiber can actually reduce acne and
actually kills off bad bacteria in your gut, increases the growth of good bacteria known
as probiotics which is very important.

So fiber is really important to get in your diet.
Your best sources of fiber are going to be seeds like chia seeds and flaxseeds, also
nuts like almonds. Those are some great options. And then vegetables. Vegetables and sprouted
nuts and seeds will help you get rid of acne.

Another important aspect of getting rid of
acne for good is balancing out your blood sugar levels. If you're consuming a lot of
sugar it's going to cause your blood sugar to go up and down. That causes bad bacteria
to grow, also causing acne. So the next nutritional step is consuming more protein.

Getting good
quality protein sources like organic chicken and turkey, grass fed beef, wild caught fish,
organic eggs, these are all great sources of protein, even sprouted brown rice protein.
Getting some good protein in your diet will balance out blood sugar levels and help you
get rid of acne. Last but not least, you want to consume healthy
fats. The best sort of fat for getting rid of acne is coconut oil. I would get all other
oils out of your household.

I really even wouldn't use olive oil in large amounts. I
would use coconut oil for all of your cooking and for almost everything you're doing. Coconut
oil also has antimicrobial properties, which means it's going to kill off bad bacteria
in your body which is going to fight off acne. So again, remember these top foods.

At the
beginning, make sure you're getting healthy fat, fiber and protein in every single one
of your meals. What this would look like is for breakfast doing a smoothie where you put
in coconut milk, a couple tablespoons of flax meal or flaxseeds or chia, and then getting
a good quality source of protein like an organic protein powder, and doing that for breakfast.
You're getting your fat, your fiber, your protein and that's going to help fight acne. Now, let's talk about the best supplements
for fighting acne. Number one is taking a good quality probiotic supplement.

Probiotics
kill off the bad bacteria in your gut and really also help boost your immune system.
Part of acne can be caused by intestinal problems, and 80% of your immune system is located in
your gut. So if you can be consuming probiotic rich foods like cultured vegetables, kefir,
yogurt, amasi, different products that are higher in probiotics, that's going to help
big time in taking a good quality probiotic supplement. About 50 billion IUs daily is
what you want to look for in a probiotic supplement. The next supplement that will help big time
is Zinc.

Where does zinc work? Zinc helps repair your gut lining and naturally boosts
your immune system. Taking about 50 milligrams of zinc a day is very effective in fighting
acne. The third nutrient and vitamin supplement you want to be getting in your diet to fight
acne are antioxidants. I believe the one that is most effective is elderberry.

You can buy
elderberry syrup or elderberry extract. Put a tablespoon of that in your smoothie every
morning for breakfast that I just mentioned. If you do those three supplements, those are
very, very effective at fighting candida. Last thing here, you can even also do one
other thing.

Consider doing a candida cleanse. That's basically where for about a week straight
you basically get all sugar out of your diet, all grains out of your diet and really consume
a diet high in probiotics, high in certain other foods like fiber, but really, this how
you should be eating on a daily basis in general. Last but not least, when you're using a face
wash, go and buy tea tree oil face wash. Tea tree oil is completely natural.

It's an essential
oil and it kills off bad bacteria on your skin and moisturizes at the same time. So
go and find a good organic tea tree oil face wash. So what are your four steps again here to
get rid of acne forever? Number one, remove sugar from your diet, remove gluten from your
diet and most grains, and then get rid of the bad oils like canola oil and vegetable
oil. Switch over to healthy oils like coconut oil.

So again, those are your food changes. Number two, let's talk about the foods you
must be consuming. You've got to get healthy fats like coconut in your diet every day.
You need healthy protein like grass fed meat and organic chicken and turkey. Also, you
need to be consuming fiber-rich products.

And the last couple of things here, supplement-wise
you've got to get more probiotics, zinc, antioxidants and tea tree oil face wash. If you do those
things, you're going to fight acne and get rid of it for good. Hey, guys, if you like this video I recommend
