I’ve always had occasional cysts on the chin thoughout my 20′s but also long stretches where I had clear skin. Anyway, I moved to NYC for Grad school, where I had no kitchen to really cook, and was on a budget! I’ve always had a problem with eating a lot of junk food and sugar. I was hardly eating all day for one. I’d eat a lot of chocolate, candies and Starbucks Lattes daily, chips..etc. I also have problems with chronic constipation and never have normal Bowel Movements. Anyway, I got a massive outbreak of cysts on my chin that I couldn’t control…they were even getting severely infected! So I decided to go on a crazy health kick. I started drinking three cups of green tea a day, took a multi-vitamin, Vitamin B complex, and an Omega- 3 capsule. On top of that I tried a fiber cleanse at the health food store so I could fix my constipation problem and drank more water. I also ate one massive salad a day with as much greens and vegetables as possible! I also cut out chocolate and sugar (as best as I could) and how about it…all my cysts went away and I have perfect skin right now.

So, Dermatologists love to tell you, what you eat doesn’t matter but it does. Studies show that sugar can cause wrinkles and pre-mature aging! If it can cause wrinkles, it can cause acne! If you’re unhealthy on the inside, you will look unhealthy (acne, dry and thin hair) on the outside. Also if you’re constipated, you have toxins in your body and those toxins will come out in different ways, in some cases acne!

So, of couse, exfoliate and wash your face well, (use the acne creams..etc) but also be as healthy as you possibly can on the inside and it might help!

So recap:
take daily vitamins,
drink three cups of green tea a day
exercise,
make sure you aren’t constipated!
eat lots of vegetables, greens a day
cut out sugar/chocolate/candies (unless it’s dark chocolate)
Cut out foods that are high in fat
