Sup peeps. Just wanna give anyone feeling adventurous some tips.

I'm 24 and a male. I only recommend this for guys past puberty since we are probably not experiencing hormonal acne. Just like most people here I've been trying to beat acne for 10+ years. I was showering 2x a day every 12 hours religiously. Accutane, doxycycline, BP, epiduo, SA, tons of other antibiotics and crap that didn't work. This is what I'm doing now and it finally "feels right."

-No milk, gluten, sugar (NO Exceptions--learn how restaurants prepare foods and order accordingly)

-Run 20+ mins 5-6 days a week (my knees are fucked up so I only run 15-20miles a week, I'd like to be running 20-30)

-Shower once a day after exercising -- only water on my face SLS free shampoo/body soap

-SLS free toothpaste (I use sensodyne) and FLOSS correctly 2x a day -> crap growing in your gums taxes the immune system

-NO supplements except 500mg Vit C when sick

-TONS of vegetables (literally everyday) apple, avocado, tomato, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts

^-> Salad for lunch 5 days a week, no dressing

-Get yourself some sea salt and make those veggies taste good (also helps you drink TONS of water)

-Drink over a gallon of water a day

-No drugs, cigs or alcohol -- If I do NEED a drink I'll go for hard liquors

-Spend every minute I can outside and barefoot (obviously will be much harder in the winter)

^->Eat outside, take walks outside, run outside, read outside, BE OUTSIDE

^->EXCEPT between the hours of 10am-2pm, minimize time outside in this 4 hour window

My skin is not perfect now. But I really do feel like I am getting close to something sustainable. This general positive outlook and the fact that I'm not tied to a 12 hour face power wash cycle have me thinking about my face so MUCH less. This has had a great cumulative effect and my anxiety is SO much better now.

Good luck and be safe!
