How To Get Clear Skin

Let's take the diet and acne connection, shall we? A lot of times if you ever mention anything about changing what you eat for how to get clear skin to a dermatologist, they'll usually say something like "It's a proven fact that there's no connection between diet and acne." They may even cite studies and their conclusions. What they don't know, or what they're not telling you is none of those studies was even close to conclusive. The most recent and thorough of studies was done in 1970 and lasted a full 7 days. Just think about that for a minute. How much have we learned in the past 30 years about medicine?? Also, anyone who knows anything about acne knows that breakouts can occur weeks before we even see them.

Also what they fail to mention is that there have been many studies on cultures outside of our own, such as the Ache, Kitavan and Inuit. Every single one of these cultures ate completely natural diet and had nothing processed at all. Not a single case of acne was recorded amongst any of them. Even more astounding was that from 1989 to 1991, a professor studied the Inuit as they progressed to amore western style diet. The result?

Acne. Acne where they never had a problem before hand. Obviously diet plays some role and is a major factor in how to get clear skin.

Moving along to washing your face. I hate when I see people mention this ever. Acne has absolutely nothing to do with your hygiene. People who don't have acne can walk around with diet covered skin and not get a single breakout. Dirt doesn't cause acne.

Some people might say something like "Well, I'm not saying dirt is causing acne, but if you want to be clear, you have to wash the excess oil from your skin." The so called "T-Zone" has to be washed so excess oil doesn't clog pores. This is another great acne myth for how to get clear skin. Even if you could wash your face a million times a day, you'd still have acne because your oil glands are constantly producing more oil every second of the day. On top of the, washing strips your skin of is natural oil and can cause irritation, causing even more breakouts.

Lastly we come to the big daddy of acne "how to get clear skin" myths. The chemicals. There is a great metaphor I want to use here to explain why there are so many companies that make external products to "clear" acne. Say there's a big, dirty pond in your back yard. Every summer your back yard becomes infested with swarms of mosquitoes who love the dank and free standing water.

You can kill all of the mosquitoes with chemicals and sprays. That will get rid of them until the following year. OR you could just drain the pond once and never have to deal with the mosquitoes again. The drug companies are keen on making products that only deal with the symptoms of acne, such as excess oil, to much bacteria and dead skin because they want you to keep buying. They don't want a permanent cure because you'll never come back to them again. That's why we have all of these commercials with pretty actresses who have great looking skin. They want us to feel bad enough about ourselves that we are compelled to buy their product.

The truth of the matter is that acne is an internal problem. How to get clear skin has nothing to do with how much you wash or how many new products you try. None of them will work because you're only treating the symptoms and not the real causes.
