Acne can be embarrassing and painful. Cystic acne can be extremely persistent, and unlike acne that surfaces and can be extracted, cystic acne can stay trapped under the skin and gives a bumpy, inflamed appearance. To reduce inflammation in the skin caused by acne, I recommend incorporating zinc into your diet as well as your skincare regimen. Zinc is an essential nutrient that is required for collagen formation and promotes healthy immune function as well as wound healing. Zinc acts as an outstanding anti-inflammatory and thus is very beneficial to inflamed cystic acne.   Here are some great zinc-rich products that you can incorporate into your skincare regimen to address your acne woes:   Leaf and Rusher Acne Serum Tx – Formulated with the most advanced form of botanical extracts and vitamins, it treats existing breakouts and reduces the frequency of future problems. This highly evolved treatment contains a unique soy extract that, with regular use, can help control regular recurring breakouts. Cosmedicine Speedy Recovery Acne Treatment Nighttime Blemish Powder – This fast-acting blemish-fighting powder with Retinoic Acid and a soothing botanical complex works all night to not only fight breakouts and eliminate acne symptoms; it actually leaves your skin in healthier and better condition than before your acne problems began.   Cellex-C Betaplex Clear Complexion Masque – Alpha and beta hydroxy acids (3%) provide gentle exfoliation while antiseptic herbals and skin calming botanicals soothe troubled skin. This creamy kaolin clay mask dries on the skin without flaking or cracking while gently lifting loosened flakes of skin to help create a gleaming, silky smooth complexion.   Remember to drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep to allow for your skin to function at its optimum. Incorporate zinc-rich foods such as oysters, wheat bran and pecan nuts into your diet to promote healing and battle acne.   For more acne treatments, visit SkinStore.com!
