Every acne sufferer knows at least a few people that never had acne when they were young and have always had a flawless skin.
When I was 14 I had terrible acne and I always envied my friends who could eat whatever they want and still maintained such a smooth skin.
What did they all have in common? Was it their genes?
It certainly wasn’t the food because they were having junk food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We can never know for sure but there has to be some genetic tendency involved with acne.
If your family, for example, has a background of skin diseases such as acne, psoriasis, skin allergies and eczema or even vitiligo, then you’re most likely to get these yourself if you don’t maintain an optimal clean lifestyle.
You see, our body eliminates waste through respiration, perspiration(sweating), urination and defecation. In some people, the gut is relatively weak(constipation, IBS, lack of digestive enzymes) so the body has to compensate and it chooses the skin, if that genetic gene is turned ON.
If you’re an acne sufferer then you need to ask yourself why your body has ‘chosen’ your skin as its main channel of elimination.
The reason is probably because the other channels mentioned above such as the gut do not function properly(genetic as well?).
Maybe your kidneys don’t filter enough waste through the urine, so the skin is basically called upon to get rid of that excess waste.
So I want you to remember that your acne is just an indication that you have an excess of waste in your body and that something is not working properly with your normal elimination channels, so focus on improving their function.
Even if its genetic it doesn’t mean that your skin has to take the blame. Choose a healthy lifestyle, follow a strict diet and avoid acne-aggravating factors to bypass the genetic tendency and you should be fine.
