Yeast contains most of the amino acids including the sulfur containing amino acids, vitamins specially pantothenic acid, minerals specially zinc and enzymes like papain and bromelain.

Yeast - thanks to its contents - resembles a natural substance that seems to be particularly designed to treat acne. When introduced into the body, yeast contents direct metabolism in the way of getting rid of excess oil through converting it into energy.

The only drawback of use of yeast for that purpose is that its useful contents, are sometimes not sufficient to correct the large metabolic changes brought about by the modern lifestyle.

Yeast can be used to treat mild conditions of acne, or to keep acne at bay in a clear skin. It can be used orally or included in homemade masks.
