Can zinc help with acne?

There is a range of factors that can cause acne ... & quite often, low zinc levels are part of the root cause of breakouts or excessively oily skin.

This is because zinc helps regulate sebum production … an oil that our skin naturally produces for protection and to keep the skin hydrated.

However, too much sebum, as a result of zinc deficiency, can clog & block the skins pores.

Which can then lead to a range of different skin issues, like breakouts, acne & excessively oily skin.

So a good place to start is your diet, and see whether you’re eating enough foods that are rich in zinc like oysters, red meat and seafood.

And whether you might need the additional support of a supplement.
