I've had 'acne' since 16 and I'm 20 now and it's really annoying! I feel so ugly! I remember when I used to go outside all the time and get tan that my skin was clearer, for the past couple of years I havn't realy gone outside much! I drink lots of water and lemon juice, fresh fruits, and the rest varries. I don't get much exercise and I think thats also really important in sweating out toxins and circulating your stuff. But the thing is, I figured out my acne is hormonal, once a month just when I think my skin is going to be clear it comes back with a vengance! Also I am now pregnant and not only do I have it on my face but on my chest and back and arms, it's just everywhere! It's crazy! So I think acne is totally hormone related not just diet and skin care. I know plenty of people who have perfect skin an they dont even own skin care stuff! They also eat junk food and are couch potatoes!! go figure, but you can't deny fresh real food, good exercise, sun, fresh air, sleep, water, and showers are good for you!! Also to the comments about sun exposure, I used to be afraid of the sun too like oh it's gonna give me cancer and make me really old, but I love the sun! I got realy depressed when I started avoiding the sun, sun is a great bacteria killer, gives you energy, it's relaxing too, and keeps you from getting osteoperosis!! yay sun! and your going to get old anyway might as well enjoy your time here in the sun! haha pale with wrinkles or tan and healthy with wrinkles? I agree with scrubbing your face with a washcloth, the dead skin is the whole cause of the problem right? just dont do anything to dry out your skin I find that makes it worse, just exfoliate and use like cocoa butter intead of chemical lotions or oils to protect your skin. I used to do this when I was in my early teens but I stopped after I wanted to be cool or something and buy expensive skin care products which didn't work...ok well I'm writing to much! ok i’m not a guy and I don’t weight lift but somehow I still found this site and I’m glad I did!

The cause of acne is a buildup of excess dead skin, not something in the body. 100 years ago, people didn't have this problem because they were out in the sun every day, which burns off the top layer of dead skin, and washed their faces with lye, which is extremely caustic. The whole point of this article is to cure acne. If you want to do that, forget the diet advice and give your face a good scrub. If you don't agree, then simply ignore my advice and have fun with your acne. 1337lolzz,

It says to reintroduce one food every two weeks. Does this mean to reintroduce foods that cause acne for me? For example, after 2 weeks I can reintroduce whey, or milk?

The whole point of this article is to treat the cause (something in our body), not the result (the acne on our face). Like Mehdi said 100 years ago people didn't have this problem, and it wasn't because they were scrubbing their faces and using AcneFree. John,

For 2 months I ate chicken, fish, steak, fruits, and milk every day (the milk was the only bad part). That diet is looking very attractive... alright, I'll try it out!

Drink either before or after the meal. Regarding your other comments on drinking before going to bed is bad for 1 reason, it will wake you in night for passing. which means you will not be getting sound sleep!! Refrain from drinking atleast 30mins or 1hour before bed. @Jellen

Do not use a loofah on your face. That probably would cause scarring--or the total removal of your face. I mentioned the loofah for the "backne" issue. That skin is much thicker and tougher than the face. I used a regular soft cloth on my face, which some dermatologists also advise against. But medical professionals also tell us to do a ton of aerobics as exercise too though, so... The exfoliation was achieved more by constant repetition than by force. Dermatologists sometimes advise against scratching and popping pimples because it rips the skin open, which does create small scars. However, I always popped them and I really don't have any scarring issues. If they're there, they're so small that you can't see them. I do have some nasty scars from scratching fire ant bites as a kid, but, hey, I'm not entering any beauty contests anytime soon. All I actually did was to achieve a slight peel, which could also be accomplished through the use of benzoyl peroxide, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion, all of which are used by dermatologists. Those might be safer choices if you can afford them. I wouldn't use any lotion except maybe something like Aloe Vera gel or something similar that is specifically for dry, chapped, or burned skin, as most lotions will probably sting like the dickens. I just used cold water and tried not to move much. As I said, I was a dumb kid and I was just sick of the pizza face, which I had for what seemed like an eternity, so I didn't necessarily do everything the best way possible. The point is that if you remove that excess dead skin, you will most likely find that it is more effective than diet changes, medications, or anything else, all of which I tried for years to no avail. Good luck. nomercy89,
