This site is entirely aimed at WHAT WORKS in the fight against acne, and not so much HOW DOES IT HAPPEN? or HOW DOES IT WORK? There are many "scientific" theories about how acne occurs, but the truth is scientists don't really know what causes acne on a cellular level. Oh, they know that sebum clogs up hair follicles, and that bacteria then feed on the sebum and irritate the pore causing a pimple. But why does the sebum clog up the pore in the first place? That's where the theories start. In fact, doctors don't even know exactly WHY certain drugs like Accutane (possible side effects include severe liver damage and birth defects) can control acne. And yet many people still believe the dermatologist when he tells them "what you eat doesn't cause acne," even though thousands upon thousands of testimonials from everyday people demonstrate that certain types of foods can trigger breakouts! For example, my face breaks out within a couple of days of drinking a Red Bull, like clockwork. And this phenomenon oddly doesn't occur when I drink Monster. Why? I don't have the slightest idea. Someone else can feel free to postulate some "scientific theory." I just know that I'm never going to drink Red Bull again.
You probably think I work for Monster now. I don't, that's just how a particular food/drink affects ME. I know a guy who can drink all the Red Bull he wants and never get a zit (don't hate him, he never has any zits) but if he even has a swallow of Monster he has a highly allergic reaction that can put him in the hospital. The point is, everyone's body is UNIQUE and everyone's response to certain foods/vitamins/skin care products is going to be different. On this website you will find the most effective natural remedies I know, but that doesn't guarantee that every single one of them will work for you. If you try something and it doesn't work, don't give up and say to yourself "this site is bunk!" and then run to the dermatologist for some overpriced chemical with unpleasant side effects. Try a different natural remedy! Many are HIGHLY effective for the majority of people that try them! I personally have extremely sensitive acne-prone skin. And yet I rarely break out anymore, due to the implementation over the past few years of changes to my diet, natural skin care, and special supplements. Mostly I just get some blackheads on my nose and chin occasionally. My face used to be covered in cystic acne! Now I just have some scarring (I am currently testing some natural methods to reverse scarring, and I will post the results on this site as well.)
I am a living testament to the effectiveness of natural treatments. I decided to build this site because I have come a LONG way in my struggle against acne. I spent hours and hours and HOURS researching and testing different holistic treatments in an attempt to clear up my skin. I had gotten nowhere with the dermatologist and I was unwilling to try Accutane so I decided to go it alone. It took a few years of searching and struggle, but I succeeded! And I hope through the use of the information you find on this website you can save yourself some of the time and trouble I went through. There's no need for any of us to suffer from acne anymore.
