Is there such a thing as food for acne? There are certain foods that clear up acne if eaten daily but they are slowly disappearing from our daily diets. This is because the original, healthier product has been replaced by a cheaper, more marketable substitute. For example, who needs real lemons when you can buy lemon juice in a cleverly shaped container?
One of the foods that can benefit acne the most is salmon. Integrating salmon into your diet will eliminate any further acne from producing, and minimizing the effects if any does.
Food compared to pills for acne
Although I have tried many supplements, herbs and medicines in the past, nothing comes close to eating the real thing on a regular basis. Not only is it cheaper, but I would imagine it’s much healthier to eat foods rather than to take anything in pill/powder format.
Salmon
My special food number one that I integrate whenever I go on my ‘anti acne’ regime is wild smoked salmon. Every time I start eating good salmon on a regular basis, my acne goes away within days.
Wild salmon for acne
Now the choice of salmon is very important, I haven’t tried the ‘regular’ smoked salmon, but I hear that unless it’s specifically written “Wild” salmon, its fish that comes from a fish farm. These usually are more toxic than wild salmon. Also, they seem to have a different color… which indicates that there really must be a difference, at least at some level.
Foods to avoid to prevent acne – Fish toxicity
I have heard many cautions of toxicity in fish, so I would *strongly* recommend getting the wild one. Yeah, it may cost $2-3 more, but it’s worth it. Anyhow, I usually buy Wild Sock Fresh Salmon at Loblaws/Publix and it costs me $10-15. Then I eat a nice healthy slice every day until my acne completely goes away. Usually one pack of Salmon will last me 4-5 days.
Afterwards, when my acne is gone, I eat a slice of Salmon every 2 days, making it last about 10 days.
The first thing I that went through my mind when I was buying this Salmon was…”Wow, this is so expensive, I can’t do this forever!”
However, when I realized that I’m going to spend money on food anyways, it’s not like I’m buying a supplement, pills, or anything like that. It’s FOOD. I spend a lot more than this whenever I eat out, and if this helps my acne, then it’s much more worthwhile than my meal at a fast food place.

Do you have any recommendations for us Vegans?
I also started eating salmon about 5 days ago I have eaten it about 4 times and not much of it..just in some plain salad..I have to say My skin is getting clearer..its amazing! I have tried everything and nothing seemed to work..I have also been adding more fruits and vegies and staying away from pasta and such but I have done this in the past with not much success..but since I added salmon to my diet (I did buy farm salmon because thats all that was available) But it really has made a difference and my husband even commented and said your skin has cleared up! Its really a cheap fix and I put a little seasoning on it and only have a small square…amazing!!! Why havent I heard more of this???
