My acne is cured!!! Please read this if you are hurting like I was.
I would usually have at least 3 nasty friends on my face, ruining my confidence, at all times.
So I changed my diet to be SUPER STRICT. I ate fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, chicken, beans. It was hard to even get enough calories! Yet still the vulgar acne continued it's assault on my face.
I was using Oxy pads, maximum strength (2% salicylic acid) to clean my face twice a day. I was also exfoliating with a scrub a few times a week.
My sister told me she cured hers when she stopped stripping away her skins natural oils! Because when you do that your skin creates more and clogs pores, causing acne. I thought there was no way it could be that simple, but guess what!
Once I stopped stripping away my natural oils, my acne WENT AWAY. And it's been gone for a month!
For the first three weeks I even started eating whatever I wanted to test it. Cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, chips, alcohol, caffeine. I felt horrible and I don't recommend it, but still NO ACNE.
Now I just wash my face lightly once or twice a day with a gentle cleanser and water. After a month my skin is producing less oil because I have less shine on my face than I did before.
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. TRY IT.
RIDICULOUS. Astringents/acids create a vicious cycle of acne. Get off them now! Try it!
