Health. Nature. Life. Praventin Bioactive Complex Clinically Proven Nutrients for Healthy Skin and Complexion Dietary Supplement 30 Days SupplyHealthy Skin Action PlanOften considered a challenge for teenagers, acne can affect women and men of all ages. Such skin problems often result from a combination of hormone stimulation, and increase in sebum production, bacteria, stress and poor diet. However, with proper nutrition, healthy stress-reduction techniques, select nutrients and other strategies, blemishes can be both controlled and prevented.Dietary Along with Futurebiotics AcneAdvance and a comprehensive multi-vitamin, eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Increase intake of foods naturally high in vitamin A (dark colored fruits & vegetables, lean protein) and zinc (nuts & legumes) as both are important to skin health. Avoid refined and/or concentrated simple sugars and iodine.Physical Activity Exercise can help reduce stress and increase circulation. Get at least 30 minutes of daily aerobic exercise. Exercise also benefits the skin and aids in maintaining a clean, youthful complexion.Complementary Therapies Stress can play havoc with your complexion. Simple deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress. To help reduce the incidence of hyperpigmentation, the dark spots left over from healed blemishes, use SPF 15 sun protection on exposed areas and reapply throughout the day.Do"s and Don"ts Drink plenty of clean, pure water to help flush toxins and keep skin hydrated. Chronic use of antibiotics often triggers intestinal overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. This chronic yeast condition may actually make acne worse and should be treated if present. Clean skin gently. Over-washing is actually irritating and excess irritation can worsen acne. Use bare hands to wash and only wash twice a day. Wash your pillowcase regularly in chemical-free detergents. Use oil-free cosmetics. When possible, use products that are labeled as noncomedogenic (not tending to clog pores).Measure Your ProgressClear, healthy skin is possible regardless of your age. With proper nutrition, exercise, good hygiene and effective stress reduction techniques, you will see a visible difference that benefits both your physical and emotional well-being.AcneAdvance - taking inspiration from Nature.
