Public Comments

1. it would be best to see a dermatologist bcuz he can give u pills for that. that will help more than any acne washes u can buy.

2. See a dermatologist. Severe acne does not respond to OTC products because its too bad. Take accutane to knock it out for good.

3. DIET is KEY.

*don't do and/or eliminate as much as possible*

-soda
-sugar/corn syrup
-meat/dairy/eggs
-processed food
-fast food
-(partially) hydrogenated oils (almost in everything)
-additives
-fried foods
-white bread/flour

-beer, to a lesser extent (if you must drink, drink a little wine)


*eat as much as possible*

-SALADS (at least, 1 a day)
-fruit (not canned)
-fruit juice (100%)
-organic
-whole foods
-raw foods


it may take a while for your system to cleanse, but:

-be consistent
-exercise
-and make an effort to REALLY enforce those dietary guidelines as much as possible; not just a little, but a real effort. read those labels. if you can't afford to shop at a health food store or your parents don't eat that way, be prepared to get a job.

You want to keep a 80% alkaline to 20% acid balance in your system; which might be difficult at first, but stick with it (it may take a few months), but, I guarantee, you'll see an improvement; the longer you stick with it, the better your complexion will continue to get.
