Adult acne is the worst. I mean, it’s one thing to have a face that strongly resembles a pizza in high school. It’s aceptable. It’s what happens when you go through puberty. But at 27?

But, as I’m sure you’ve heard from your mother and countless commercials on TV, clear skin comes for the inside out. So you know what that means – what are you eating? Here are a few healthy foods you should mix into your diet that are known to help keep acne where it belongs: not on your face.
Cabbage – FIlled with vitamin A and E.
