Cleansing stimulates a detox reaction - for some, they detox through their skin, creating pimples.

Best thing you can do is throughly cleanse your body's other methods of detoxing, like the bowels and liver, so they body will use those more often to excort toxins out of the body. The body usually uses the skin to detox only when the other methods of detoxing are too clogged up with poisons and parasites to get rid of everything that's toxic the body.

Also, detoxing can create an emotional response, called an "emotional detox". This can create a lot of stress and whacked out hormones as people deal with old, unresolved issues with anger and sadness that can also cause Acne breakouts. Some also get even more upset about the Acne on their face along with the emotional issues they are dealing with, and just create a larger mess.

Acutally, some people have started cleansing to casually clear up some mild Acne and it worsened into severe Acne after cleansing leaving deep scars.

The hardcore cleansers tell people like this to be thankful that they now have severe Acne because it just means that they are removing toxins.

I don't know about anyone else, but it is pretty darn hard to be thankful for something when it is leaving permanant, disfiguring scars!

Acne may or may not be temporary, scars last for the rest of your life!

Cleansing has personally worsened my skin problem and I also now have much more scarring. I would have actually never have started cleansing if I knew it was going to leave me with more scars.

There is nothing worse than having prominent sunken scars on your face

I have good news and bad news.

As a person who went through four years of industrial strength colon cleansing, plus flushing my liver/gallbladder clean ... I can assure you, from time to time skin problems will worsen as you cleanse, detox and heal.

The good news: Once I got my liver clean (luckily this only took 5-6 flushes at two week intervals before I passed the "mother lode" of about 30-40 beautiful jade green stones the size of small prunes!) I have had absolutely wonderful skin! It's been about two years and I have NO problems!

Until I took out my internal trash I suffered for many years with "adult acne" and "rosacea". Dermatologists were unhelpful.

Clean colon = clean fluids = clean blood ... all filtered through a clean liver and you're really getting somewhere!

Oh, and by the way, I had to change my eye prescription as my vision has improved substantially. Apparently the change is permanent, along with the improvement in my skin!

Best to all,
