It is said by many dietitians that acne may be entirely overcome by correct and special diet. It is true that acne is worse among people who live largely on hot breads, fried food, rich starchy dishes and sweets. Avoid fat meats and sea foods. Use eggs, milk, and sour milk foods, green vegetables - spinach, lettuce, salads with olive oil and lemon juice; peas, sweet corn, lima beans, string beans, stewed cucumbers, squash, stewed celery. A grated raw carrot eaten with a little salt just before retiring, or a saucer of popcorn will keep the bowels in good condition.
