Big Zits

Get Rid of Big Zits
   
What connection does the brain have to the skin? A big one. In fact, this connection is so astonishing, that it is no wonder big zits come to be. Follow along now and learn why big zits are common in people with high stress levels.

It has recently been discovered that the skin actually shares the same cells that the brain does. The skin in fact uses similar neurotransmitters which open and close due to stress. The more stressed a person becomes, the more sebum is produced from the sebaceous glands.

So if you are a high strung person and have big zits on your face, one of the first things you should be doing is to set aside some time throughout the week to chill out. Relax once in a while!

Our body needs to rest. We can't just go on day after day without ever stopping to heal ourselves. Not only does stress play an important role but so too does food. Diet is actually one of the biggest contributors to acne vulgaris.

Zits in general occur because the pores are blocked with guck, dead skin, and pus. Ways to combat this include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high in fiber, and of course, snacks that are full of vitamin A, E, and C.

This doesn't mean you have to eat like a health freak though. Just watch what kind of junk food you are taking in. Do you drink a lot of soda, snack on chips, have cereals high in sugar?

Instead of eating Lucky Charms, try eating a cereal with fiber in it. Place some strawberries in the cereal along with a chopped banana. The strawberries help to act as antioxidants and will in turn, help your skin to rid itself of big zits.
