How do I clear up my acne?
I have had acne since highschool and am now 24. lately its been worse than ever. I eat mostly a organic, low saturated fat, low cholesterol, low glycemic diet. I have used everything: proactive, drug store products, dermatologist prescribed drugs, antibiotic, topical antibiotics. My skin is very plugged and I have been diagnosed with cystic acne yet nothing works. I get a really good facial whenever I can so that I can get most of the pores cleaned, yet they build right back up with oil and white/blackheads within weeks.
Right now I’m trying some things out and trying to clear it up from the inside, not the outside. I’m sick of using all sorts of topicals which do nothing. I have nearly cut out Dairy (supposedly causes reactions dealing w/ Acne), drink a cup or 2 of green detox tea everyday, take fish oil omega vitamins, and drink a tablespoon of Maca Root powder in soy milk everyday (sup to balance hormones).
Its very painful, as is most cystic acne, and much of it cannot even be removed from the skin by facialists, because it is so deep inside the pore.
WHAT else can I do? I’m scared I will be stuck this way forever…
I have the same thing and im in high school i dont know if its cystic acne but have you tried a natural way to get rid of your acne like mixing together diferent ingredients like honey and tomato juice also i hear toothpaste works try it out
