I looked in the mirror this morning, I mean really looked
while I was shaving and it almost brought tears of joy to my
eyes that I could actually look into a mirror without
feeling self-conscious, when only in the distant past; I
couldn't have done that simple act due to one thing...ACNE.
I wrestled with my thoughts over and over on how exactly
acne could be cured and not unlike millions of Americans,
this obsession was the driving force to me parading through
the skin care aisles of many a drug-store, acne web-sites
and my now defunct membership to the pro-active club!
Thank God, I don't have to be overly concerned on just how
acne can be cured anymore as I dare say, the answer (at
least the person who could lead you right to the answer) may
very well be looking back at you from the mirror.
Now friends, to know how acne can be cured, you've got to
know what causes acne.
The simple answer is about 90% of it lies in what you
consume.
Most of what we eat leads to constipation and eventually a
myriad of human ailments...acne included.
That considered, it is safe to say to figure out how acne
can be cured, the first step is a change in dietetic
habits-plain and simple.
Just like I had to do many years back, I advise every and
all acne patients to eliminate all mucus forming and
constipating foods including but not limited to
1. Junk Foods.
2. Processed Foods.
3. Animal Dander
4. Most Grains (whole or not)
And replace these with alkaline, and body healing foods
(known for their healing and nourishing properties) which
include your fruits, leafy and some root vegetables.
Not only will this simple change in diet make for a clearer
and smoother skin, it will also give the added benefit of
improved health and overall wellness.
One more factor that I must add is BY ALL MEANS AVOID THE
MICROWAVE.
To make such a dietetic change even more effective for
curing acne, you could go as far as to try a simple fast for
a few days on fresh fruit juices, or try the simpler yet
more-or-less effective method of trying a restricted diet of
a mono-meal of fruits, for example being that it is winter
as of the time of this writing, try going a week on organic
apples only for lunch and dinner.
Note I skipped breakfast and for this simple reason: This
format adheres to a scientifically proven principle that the
human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve
midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from
twelve noon to twelve midnight, therefore your meals during
these respective periods should be harmonious with the
natural processes.
That stated, you could have the apples juiced with the
popular juice-man device for breakfast or simply have some
fresh unflavored or slightly sweetened lemonade (using
organic maple syrup as the sweetening agent of course).
Furthermore, other steps that I recommend you add to this
dietetic approach on controlling acne are:
1. Changing your pillowcases.
2. Applying NOTHING but plain water to the face (cool that
is) for rinsing
3. Avoiding excessive make-up
4. For males, shaving (mostly downward) in the direction of
the beard's growth
So there you have it, the fundamental steps that I took to
control my acne that you too can implement to getting the
clearer skin you've always wanted...without spending excessive
money and time on so-called acne cures.
I sincerely wish you the best in overcoming your acne
troubles my friend.
Yours truly,
Aje
