Hello,

I thought I should post back here to let you know of what has worked for me and succesfully kept me 100% acne free.

I use a mixture of 1/3 Raw ACV (Biona Organics brand) mixed with 2/3 Boiled water (obvioulsy leave to cool before application!)

I used this mixture day and night, I don't wash it off. It does smell!

Other than that I never wash my face with products, oils, facials etc. I followed the Caveman regieme in 2013 and while it made my skin hideous for the month, and subsequent couple of months after, eventually my skin became healthier, the acid mantle (ph of my skin started to repair) and my acne disspeared slowly but gradually. I'd say this took between 3-4 months to go 100%.

From that point to maintain my healthy acid mantle / ph I used the ACV solution I mentioned above.

I should also say that I suffered from follicitus as well as acne, which was located on my forehead.

I haven't made any dietry changes, I eat sensibly, but still eat foods I enjoy every now and then, bread/chocolate/fruit etc. which I know aren't the healthiest in terms of sugar, but don't have a dentrimental effect when I do eat them.

So to recap this is my method:

• Caveman - no washing/touching/ face for 1 month.
• Then wash with muslin face cloth once a week, gently exfoliating.
• Use ACV diluted solution on a cotton wool ball morning and night

It has nearly been two years, and this method has been 100% effective for me. I had cystic acne, extremely oily skin (within 3-4 mins oil would appear!), forehead pimples and redness all over my face. I tried pretty much every weird extreme diet, method, pill to cure this, and it never worked permenantly, sometimes it would work for a few months but then it would come back again. So I thought I'd wait a long time before updating here.

The acne I had wasn't age related, I got it when I was in my twenties. If you have any questions please ask me
