How to reduce the excessive oil secretion 

Accutane is based on vitamin A and reduces the secretion of oil by the oil glands. 

Foods that provide the body with Vitamin A and beta-carotene include: liver, oily fish, carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli and whole eggs. 

Encourage the skin peeling 

Using a peel is an easy method to promote shedding of the skin. Exfoliation releases the build-up of dead skin cells, oils and bacteria that clog the pores, which may lead to forming blemishes. 

Extreme peels 

Peels come in different stages , from mild to really harsh. The TCA peel is an extreme peel that can cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the degree of the treatment. It is only performed in medical environments. The TCA is not suitable for all situations, however. The skin is more sensitive to the sun after using the TCA, that leading to hyper-pigmentation. 

Make-it-yourself peels 

Several peels contain glycolic acid or papaya enzymes. These peels are safer then most because they lightly exfoliate the skin. 

Stop the spreading of the bacterial infection 

Using an astringent such as apple cider vinegar or witch hazel to clean and disinfect the skin greatly reduces the bacteria. This reduces skin inflammation and the future apparition of pimples . 

Enhance Fat Metabolism 

Free fatty acids can irritate the skin and provoke acne eruptions. Reducing intake of foods containing hydrolyzed fats will improve fat metabolism. However, they are good for the skin, plus you can find them in foods such as salmon and olive oil. These essential fats aid eliminating inflammatory substances and reduce future experiences with acne lesions… 

Reduce inflammation 

A strong immunity is like a buffer against inflammation. Try to reduce stress by exercising, eating a balanced diet and well sleeping boosts the immune system. Also, a supplement of vitamins like C and E, B-Complex, zinc will enhance effectiveness of the immune system.
