should I drink nothing but water and green tea for three days in an effort to calm my acne and try and get relief? also while doing this should I use bentonite clay masks and honey masks to further assist it?

Fasting mighthelp acne because you are eliminating food that might be triggering it eg. Foods that raise blood sugar, foods you might be sensitive to etc. The problem is it isnt a long term solution. Once you start eating again the acne would be back. I tried water fasting once and only lasted 2 days and felt so sick and weak. I'm underweight so dont think it was a good idea for me. Maybe you could try vegetable juice fast or just eating salad. Less strain on the body and you could do it for longer. Then slowly add foods back in to see if anything gives you a breakout?
