I don't get it, I eat healthy and exercise,but I am plauged by bad skin. All the other threads on this topic didn't really help me so here we are. Any of you guys on here have flawless skin? What's your method? oh and BTW I HATE synthetic cleansers, burt's bee (or other natural stuff) is as far as I go when it comes to what I put on my skin. Anybody know any superfoods that help? I just started school and it is such a bitch going back looking like a pizza.

you have to use a certain soap that is right for you. Neutrogena works for me. when I start using that, my skin feels much better, but when its out I break out in acne. go to your doctor and see what is right for you.

a lot of acne is caused by oils from your hair, especially blackheads.
use a soap thats made for removing hair oils, such as shampoo.
try to find a shampoo thats not too sodium-packed and use it on your face when you shower.
works for me.

Well it could be because your skin is producing more sebum than it should, because of pollution, stress, hormonal imbalance and even because you might have small infections. Case in which you'll have to go and see a dermatologist which will probably give you the right antibiotics. This is something that can and should be treated.
But before going to a dermatologist, there is this liquid antibiotic called Zinetyt which you apply on your cleaned skin twice a day (morning and evening) and it works just excellent.

Stop eating shitty food. When your liver is overloaded, it turns to your skin to dispose of wastes. Ever notice after eating something with garlic, you reek badly of garlic? This is your body getting rid of the waste through your skin. There is nothing you can put on your skin or any medicine you can take that will get rid of the acne without sacrificing your health at the same time. I used countless creams and medications and even went on accutane twice, and my acne always came back afterwards, until I changed my diet. Try to avoid foods mainly that contain lots of refined sugar or that give you BO or make your fart smell like garlic and lots of different meats.
If your acne is really bad and you want it gone right away, go on a water fast and it should be completely gone within a week. Google water fasting for more info. Good luck.

If you don't want to hit the dermatologist, get some b vitamins (instead of going for just b-5, I get b complexes) and get some sun. I've heard that some people use antibacterial dawn dish soap for their acne... a lot of old school bodybuilders use this and it works like a charm.
My testosterone absolutely went through the roof when I started using gear, but a little sun and b vitamins cleared it up. My diet is pretty immaculate and I occasionally break out slightly, but that's usually from stress or other triggers. Fortunately, it isn't too often, but I can empathize with anyone who suffers from acne. It's definitely a bitch!!!!

I suffered from acne all throughout high school and now that im in college I finally figured out how to heal it the right way and its clearing up very nicely. I have almost no active pimples and now just scars that need to fade/heal. I did it buy adopting a raw vegan diet that consists of mostly fresh fruits, veggies, organic cold pressed coconut oil, various herbs, spices, etc and occasionally i have raw nuts, dried fruit, etc. If i ever "cheat" on this plan, which is maybe a few times a month or once a week, i make sure im still vegan, all natural, unrefined and organic. I also drink kombucha tea as often as i can and take herbs like ginger (detox), fenugreek (balances female hormones if ur a girl), and a natural supplement that contains msm (aka sulfur), silica, zinc and some other things. This may sound like a lot but its a lifestyle change for me and i feel a million times better, more deeply balanced and serene, have lost weight and my skin is so smooth and soft and my acne is going bye bye. If u want to start off with something though, try taking a zinc supplement and then incorporate some of these other elements.
Also, avoid dairy, refined sugar, heated vegetable oils, refined grains and that should help too.

Alongside of eating well, drink tons of water.
It works. Makes you glow when combined with exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

people, people, he said he eats healthy in the first post.
as for me.. i have recently accumulated pimples all over my face from my job, and having to wear a respirator mask for hours at a time - sweating and breathing into my face. it's fairly gross. i just bought some aveeno non-soap cleaner (i don't know exactly what's in it), and i generally use it once or twice a day.. preferably with a shower. it works well. sacylic acid stuff never seems to work too well for me. sometimes at night i'll put a benzoyl peroxide cream on my face to dry off the real bad stuff. my acne's certainly not gone, but it's also definitely not as bad as it could be. i also eat healthy. i don't eat fast food or greasy things, generally (though i had bacon in my pasta last night).

Cyanide is all-natural, yet I wouldn't eat it.
Let go of any sort of "organic" thought when it comes to preventing acne. Use Benzol Peroxide (its in proactive and Acne Free cleansers) It works. Go through the treatment and you will find that not only will your current acne (and many scars as well) will dissapear, and will come back much, much less often. This is the only good acne advice I have ever recieved/used, you won't be dissapointed.

drink nothing but water.

Fuck dermotologists. They gave me anti-biotics and they worked for a while, but I stopped using them.
1) They are very expensive
2) They compromised my immune system now I have a canadia infection
I think if I can get rid of the canadia and do a liver flush then all will be well. I eat really clean take care of my skin but it still breaks out. Oh and btw, when I got off the antibiotics the acne came back WAy worse. I bet that the little fuckers have built up some resistance. Also just want all of you to know antibiotics also kill the GOOD bacteria.

If you're going to be stubborn, we can't help you. This hippie nonsense is going to have to end if you want to kill something on your face.

acutane works well for me if i use it about once every three or four days. that way it doesnt get too dry, but i dont have heavy break outs. I also recently stopped drinking milk (dairy) and havent been getting the deeper stuff. I have drunk milk a couple times in the last 4 months or so, and broke out after.

Stop stereotyping and don't make ignorant comments. Anti-biotics are NOT necessary for clearing acne the healthy way. Yes they may kill the bacteria causing your zits but they also can kill the good bacteria that you need to be healthy. It's not "hippie" nonsense. You have to take a holistic approach and learn that acne is deeper rooted condition that often has to do with internal issues. You should not dismiss cures that involve lifestyle changes as merely "hippie" bs because I'm sorry, that's kind of naive. I pretty much cleared up my skin with out any anti biotics at all or harsh substances like benzol peroxide with, when i used them years ago, dried the hell out of my skin and make my face look really rough. For me, supplementing with zinc, cutting out refined sugar, most grains, following some detox methods to help my liver and cleansing my face with simple face washes like water or a homemade gentle scrub made from flaxseed, almond meal, aloe, cucumber, etc has not only gotten rid of the pimples but has made the texture much softer, smoother and healthier. Your skin is your biggest organ, it only makes sense that internal remedies can/will play a large part in healing it.

Another tip, trying lowering the glycemic load of your diet. I've read about people clearing up their skin by cutting out grains, dairy and eating small amounts of fruit. This way, if you dont want to go vegan, you can meat, eggs, vegetables, health fats like coconut oil, etc. If you do eat meat, eggs, or even dairy, make sure it is organic bc the non organic stuff is likely pumped with hormones that can lead to increased pimples. Cutting out dairy really helped my skin even before I went completely vegan.
