Re: ARG! Dont put down cleansing pleeeaaaase?

I felt bad when I read your message cause I too have been cursed with acne. Im in my early twenties now and throughout my teens I never experienced any Acne at all. Even with all the junk food and spending countless weekends sleeping with my makeup on, I never had a problem. When I turned 21, I decided to change my birth control which I had been on for a few years. Within months my face slowly started to break out. My dermatoligist said soon once my body gets used to the changing hormones, my Acne should stop or atleast get better. Well, it never did. So I stopped my birth control hoping that in time my face would go back to normal. I gave it six months and I only got worse. I started to do some major researching and found many other contributing factors to why someone can develop acne. I stumbled across this candida website and it has changed my life. I learned that birth control pills can give you yeast overgrowth as well as many other things. I think about everything differently now, from the way I eat to the makeup and lotion I even wear. I am very conscious of what I put in my body as well as what I put on my body. I soon started to eat extremely healthy for about a year and then I finally felt disciplined enough to go thru with the candida cleanse diet. I had been told from others that my Acne wouldnt just disappear overnight, it might even get worse depending on how unhealty I was. When you do a cleanse you are getting rid of toxins, which im sure you know, and somehow someway they have to exit your body and through this process it might show up on your face. Well with my experience so far my acne has changed drastically. I have been only doing the cleanse for 8weeks now but I dont expect it to get worse even though its possible. The recquirements for the cleanse instruct that I sit in a sauna or hot bath everyday for 10-30min to make sure im sweating out the toxins. Im also recquired to have 3-4 bowel movements a day so Im drinking lots of water and taking fiber. I've never pooped so much in my life but its doing me some good. I dont know if you have candida yeast but you should definetely look into it. If you have ever taken an antibiotic, you might have it. But it could be other problems to. 3months ago my friend quit drinking and smoking and her face massively broke out and it hasn't stopped but she knows her body is thanking her for quiting. It would be a good idea to see a chiropracter and get checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies too. My doctor only tested my blood but I know a chiropracter will do a hair analysis(I think thats what its called) to check for deficiencies. They too can cause acne. Allergies and sensitivities to food can do the same as well. I know you dont believe that cleansing is helping your face but if you are doing it right your body will appreciate it. Tweet
