4. Acne
Acne is caused by oils and other toxins becoming trapped under the skin. This results in blemishes. These may appear anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found on the face and even the neck. Acne can cause a person to feel self conscious and may even result in depression. One of the ways to help prevent acne from occuring is to make sure that you are getting enough folic acid in your diet.
Folic acid along with several other important antioxidants can help keep your skin feeling smooth and may even make it appear younger looking. It is important to note that you should be careful when it comes to taking folic acid supplements or when consuming foods high in folic acid as an overdose of this vitamin can actually lead to skin that is dry and patchy. An overdose may also cause more acne to appear.
