I've been dealing with mainly back and chest acne through most of my adult years. I am a male/45. I had facial acne in my teens but that pretty much cleared up on it's own. But as the facial acne faded, the back and chest acne took it's place. I tried many over the counter washes, creams, soaps, etc. with very little results.

Then one day I was reading about the benefits of drinking lemon juice and room temperature water, first thing in the morning. Here are some of the benefits claimed (1) Rich source of Vitamin C to help with immune system deficiencies. (2) Helps maintain the pH balance in the body. (3) With it's powerful antibacterial properties, it also helps prevent infection. (4) Acts as a detoxifying agent. (5) Lemon water is a popular remedy for many kinds of skin problems ranging from acne, rashes and wrinkles to dark spots. This part caught my attention.

I originally was interested in the lemon water in assisting with digestive help. So, off to the store I went and bought the biggest bottle of lemon juice I could find to start the following morning. It is recommended to use warm to room temperature water to get the best results. So for my first morning I poured between 4-6 oz. of room temp spring water and then added about an ounce to an ounce and a half of lemon juice. Now keep in mind, this is to be the first thing you do in the morning before any other food or drink. And definitely wait to brush your teeth till after your drink. You may want to use a little or a lot of lemon juice in your drink. I use a lot because I love the taste and like it strong. And always remember to brush your teeth immediately after because the acid of the juice will damage the enamel on your teeth. Also, try to refrain from eating or drinking anything else for at least 30 minutes after your morning drink.

Like I said earlier, I was mainly interested in boosting my immune system, aiding in the digestive system and the detoxifying effect. So I wasn't really expecting much help with my chest and back acne. After 1 week of religiously drinking my lemon water I didn't really notice much as far as my immune system or digestive help but I did notice something that got me very excited. My body acne was still there, but they were old and healing. I frantically starting feeling all over my back and chest and I couldn't find any new acne forming! I thought this was too good to be true and must be a coincidence, but nonetheless, I continued to drink my lemon water every morning. After about 4 weeks, the results were amazing. With the exception of one or two small blemishes, the acne was stopping on my back and chest. So to test out this new found discovery of mine, after my big bottle of lemon juice was gone, I stopped drinking my lemon water for two weeks and waited to see what would happen. Sure enough, a couple days later i developed a rather large, cystic type painful and red blemish. Over the next few days more and more started to appear, just like before I even started this experiment. Now I was convinced that lemon water is the real deal. I immediately went back on my daily morning routine of my lemon water. And sure enough, the acne began to heal and almost no new blemishes forming.

So, after experiencing these results, I had to share with all of you in hopes that it may help in your battle with body acne. I don't know about you guys and gals, but when I find something that actually works after all these years of suffering...I get a little excited! And another bonus of the lemon juice with water is it actually helps burn belly fat and is excellent at detoxifying your liver.

Anyway, I hope this works for you all as well as it has worked for me. Good luck and please keep me updated with any success stories!
