Before you even tell me to go get Proactiv or Clearasil or any remedies, trust me, over the last 4 years, ive tried them all.

I’m 15 and I’ve had acne for the past 4-5 years and it is really bothering me. I get self conscious when I’m in public or when I am meeting new people. It started just on my face, then it spread to my chest, now i have really bad acne on my chest. Next it went to my back. I’m embarrassed to change in locker rooms or to go swimming or anything because of this!

Then I got this bump under my eye on my cheek. I think its a cyst, I’m not sure but it doesnt hurt and all it does is just sit there and stick out. Later i got another one of these on the same cheek, and 5 on the other cheek. Now im afraid its going on my neck
because there are now 2 of these bumps on my neck. I can’t do anything about it, they don’t pop, they don’t move, I dont know what to do about them.

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.

But if you look closely and think about it, the cause is easy to determine. It’s your hair products bringing on the outbreaks.

It’s common for teenagers and young adults to adopt new hair styles as they become popular. However depending on your hair type you may have to overload your head with products to make your hair perform and maintain the new shape you want.

If your new ‘do’ requires the use of a thick, oily hair treatment called pomade, you could be in for a serious [tag]acne[/tag] breakouts.

Pomade is used when a new style forces curly hair into straight or any hair type into a molded shape.

And often the end result is pomade acne on the scalp and hairline – where ever it comes into contact with your skin. Most, if not all, pomades fall into the category of a comedogenic (pore clogging) cosmetic. The heavy oils used in pomades can clog pores which just sets the stage for the formation of comedones. In addition, some of the other chemicals in pomades may irritate the skin, contributing to acne inflammation.

You know the cure for this right? Stop using hair products that cause the breakouts to begin with.
