If you’re truly fed up with acne and want to take some immediate measures to combat the breakouts, there’s 8 easy things to start today.

Drink Water. 8 glasses of it. Preferably filtered (if you live in the city, especially so!)

Water. Yes touted in every corner of the health industry for multiple cures, but certainly for your skin’s health.

Water is nature’s best defense against anything not running perfectly in your system. And remember, your skin is your body’s largest organ. Just because it is on the outside doesn’t mean it doesn’t reflect what’s going on inside your body.

Water helps to flush out many of the toxins and toxic build up in your system. If you’ve really overdone it over the years and your body is fighting many toxins there are more extensive measures to clean up the inside of your body, but there is no easier way to start flushing them out immediately than by putting as much H2O as you can into your system.

Not sure about toxins? Toxins build up in your system through environmental issues, dietary habits, stress levels, and a few other factors. When your body is healthy and working right those toxins are released and expelled through your body’s various filters. Your bowels and kidneys are the primary filters used to rid your body of toxins. The only time that toxins start coming out of your lungs or skin is when bowels and kidneys are overloaded with them.

Since one of those filters is your skin, once other filters are clogged from years of abuse and toxic build-up, the only escape hatch left is your skin surface.

Drinking water regularly helps to flush those toxins out of your system and keep them moving. This may be the only resource required to get and keep your skin clear and acne breakouts at bay.

Conclusion: Drinking water assists in dissolving toxic waste in your body’s other organs. Toxic clogs can cause acne breakouts. Water is acne’s worst enemy.
