You will find sufficient amounts of potassium in raisins, apricots, prunes and cabbage. Chromium is found in beef liver and legumes (beans, peas, soybeans). Vitamins A, C and PP are found in milk, sour cream, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, sea fish liver, lemons, currants, rose hips, sauerkraut, meat, liver and kidneys. B vitamins are found in yeast, corn flour, meat and bran.

If you have acne, it is very important to avoid foods that increase cholesterol levels in the body and foods that provoke inflammatory processes and increased activity of the sebaceous glands. These products include spices, ketchups, mayonnaise, sauces, fatty meats, smoked meats, French fries, cheeses, etc.
Coffee stimulates the production of the hormone cortisol, which can cause inflammation and acne.
Dairy products, meat and nuts are high in protein, which stimulates hormone production. Excess of these products can lead to hormonal imbalance and deterioration of the skin.
