Acne and Fasting

[Saria]

I have good news about acne and fasting! I've had mild acne on my face and upper back for about 2 years now. (most people still say my skin is pretty clear but that's just my complexion!) During my fast I had 2 new pimples that started then went away after day 5. No new blackheads have come up and all of my old scars have faded. Now I have no pimples, the two are almost healed already. My face hasn't been this clear in years!! So it got a little worse before it got better, the way most things do while fasting I guess. I know the faint scars will continue heal over time. I'm glad I was able to do this before I got more scars!

That sounds great. I hope it stays clear for you. I have bad acne and despair of being able to fix it and am too stubborn to go to the Doctor for drugs. Not that I would take medications for something that I'm sure time will heal. I will try continue with fasting as much as possible and hope that will help. It's been great to hear your story, thanks for sharing.

It will definately get better. It might get worse for a few days at first, though!

going into raw i had no care about improving skin as a male , but after about 9 months i couldnt help noticing the pores on my cheeks getting smaller / skin smoother / skin pinker .
and ive zero doubt that acne's caused by a dirty diet , the unburnable by our bodies cells proccessed and heated junk we eat becomes pollution floating around in our lymph fluids looking for exit from the body . its removed via either the waste proccesses / as mucous in lungs / through the skin , when this pollution is expelled from body through the skin in large amounts its acne . no dirty diet to become internal pollution = no waste to be expelled through the skin = no acne . its all about diet

i also think adding lemon to drinking water helps because lemon breaks down pollution deposits / cleanses as said by many fasting students

also juicing raw carrots and sweet potatoes for vitamin A which is important to skin , dark greens too

not saying im an expert on this matter , these are just my thoughts as a self read vegan of 18 years i thought ide pass along .
but im sure theres all kinds of women out there into skin improvement that are way more knowledgable on matter and can speak from
alot of trial and error . thats if theyre raw foodist / vegans / fasters , other wise i know better .... lol ;-)

also , when i started raw 6 years ago i also started fasting . and no doubt that helped cleanse bodily pollution and improve skin
