You may need more zinc in your diet. A deficiency of zinc can cause skin problems such as acne. Too little zinc weakens immunity, but too much does so also.

The skin-friendly mineral zinc is important if you have acne. In fact, sometimes acne itself is a symptom of a zinc deficiency. Taken internally or used topically, zinc works to clear skin by taming oil production and may be effective in controlling the formation of acne lesions or help those already on your skin to clear sooner. Food sources of zinc include oysters, lean meat, and poultry.
