How I Cured My Acne

Hi there, I've struggled with acne for as long as I can remember and I just wanted to share with you how I cured it within a week.

 

I stopped washing my face completely and only use Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel in the morning and night. If i am wearing makeup, I will take it off with a product called the Jane Iredale Magic Mitt which is just a cloth you put under hot water and it takes off all your makeup!

 

Another main thing that cleared my skin was getting off of birth control. I was on the Lo loestren Fe birth control pill and learned that it could be a cause of my acne. I know there are so many scary reviews about getting off birth control, but seriously, it saved my skin and it's really not good for your body in the long run.

 

Finally, the supplements that I swear by:

MSM x4 daily

Pantothenic Acid x4 daily

Zinc 50 mg x1 daily

ACES (vitamin ACE + selenium) x2 daily

Cod liver oil/butter x4 daily

Probiotic x2 daily

 

I know it seems like a lot of supplements, but it really is hard to get the nutrients we need from food that has been processed or heated. Plus, if you were like me you probably spent a lot of money on dermatologists/face washes/moisturizers/serums/toners/chemical peels/birth control/microdermabrasion/etc.

 

Now you can spend money on things that are good for you on the inside and benefit not only your skin, but your entire body.

My skin rarely breaks out and if it does it completely is able to heal itself so quickly rather than weeks after.

 

Another main tip I could give you is to just leave your face alone. I know how tempting it is to pick at all the impurities, but the truth is that your body is capable of healing itself. You don't need to pick at it, which i'm sure you know only makes it worse.

This has been my holy grail routine, good luck! :rolleyes:

I've been thinking about this magic mitt for a couple months now and I'm so surprised it's only been mentioned this once on this page. It seems so perfect ! only water and a soft mitt to gently take off makeup or just clean your face, yes please ! I really think all these cleansers caused my acne. If i even touch my back or chest with soap i have acne for a week there. (I have no acne on my chest or back, because i never use soap on it anymore) but i think im addicted to washing my face because im panicking. Washing my face with only water is working (im not inflamed acne is drying up) i need this for makeup. I'm so excited to try it.
