This is a few things I do that helped me get skin without acne and radiant all day.
- Use a mild face cleanser that eliminates extra oil and cleanses your skin well. I suggest littlleextra rriiceberry face wash only as it balances the skin pH too.
- Eat a nutritious diet. Stay away from oily, junk, and spicy foods. Choose vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins C, E, A, antioxidants, and minerals.
- Exercise aids purify impurities, so make sure to exercise regularly to cleanse your whole body.
- Stay away from touching your face often because our hands are generally full of germs that can lead to acne when they touch the face.
- Weekly, use an oil or serum for a facial massage to improve circulation.
- Weekly, do a cleanup routine: cleanse, steam, scrubbing, use a mask, and rub 2-3 ice cubes.
- Clean your brushes and other things you use coz they can harbor germs that can cause acne when they come into contact with your skin.

I have been dealing with acne for 11 years and it still won't go away. I actually just posted a video to show my skin throughout the years, It's honestly such a mentally draining experience. I am hoping this year I will be able to clear my skin.

She's just indirectly telling you to have better genetics/parents

I had severe acne vulgaris and I share on my channel how I finally cleared my skin after 10 years of suffering with it. I truly hope it helps anyone out there. YOu deserve to have beautiful skin.

Also change your bedding once a week. Especially your pillow cases.

Literally just use curology. It helped me so much. They take ur picture, then they use it to formulate a medicine. They also sent me soap and stuff. It’s expensive, but super worth it

I wash my face everyday, when i wake up (with just water) and before I go to sleep. I've been managing my stress, and i try not to touch my face. But i still have acne.... 😭😭

Reduce blood sugar level is the only effective way I can lose my acne, I have acne on my back, I never really care thought, until my face had mild acne too, it's really bothering me, so I do some fasting, (eat once a day), and in 40 days, acne on my face is gone, and surprisingly my back acne is gone too, it's really works like miracles, then I stop doing my diet, and my back acne gradually come back, so Im doing fasting again 😭

Thanks for delivering such an exciting video. I hope to see more great video like this in the future and keep the good work going on.

Acne caused by, eating too much sugar (try sugar fasting for 10days✅ yes honey, worth experiencing withdrawal) taking to much stress (exam, school, work) exercise ✅ wash your face with a organic soap (rustric art face wash✅you get it cheap at shopsy) apply oil for dry skin (coconut oil doesn't hurt you in winter ❄) and sleep on time. Kick the phone and jump in bed, dont forget to wash ur face before sleeping 👍✨ all this can get u clear skin, but who wants to change lol 😂

[SlayerOfGods]

I used to have clearskin when i was 15 but when i turned into 16 my acne began to showup

[gatts]

Dammit I'm the only one from my family who have ache

[christinesimony]

I didn't view this video, but I have read articles in various magazines where this particular dermatologist was consulted. I have had skin problems since my preteen years and in my early 40s was STILL being diagnosed with "acne". When I could no longer afford some of the "best dermatologists" in Pittsburgh, Pa (and their expensive prescriptions) and had to treat the condition on my own again, I began to realize it wasn't acne at all. It was a parasitic infection that was systemic, yet I was still forced to resort to OTC acne medicines to treat the condition. I ended up using the CeraVa line of products and the condition is slowly clearing up. The process has been very painful and even scars from my early 20s reappeared!
