Acne just not going away.

    Hi/Namaste/Assalam o Alaikum Friends/Doston..!

    I am 200+ days refraining from M, I read in some success stories that their skin got clearer as they went into the depths of NoFap but that just isnt the case with me.
    I am having acne which isn't fading away. I've used different techniques including Garnier Anti-acni facewash as well but of no avail.
    Is it has something to do with NoFap? Is it due to refraining from M? Or some hormonal changes?
    P.s I am 20 years old.

    Hi there. I'm a big believer in the ability to cure acne rather 'holistically.' Each person is different of course but various vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause acne to be a big problem for a specific type of person.

    I personally take supplements to Niacin (relieves toxins), Ginkgo and DHEA (brain functionality) Vitamin D and Vitamin C. I also sweat consistently through the gym and eat a rather clean, vegetarian diet. I drink about 100 ounces of water a day. I no longer even suffer from pimples.
    Cold showers may help as well. Your shampoo, body soap, deodorant may not help your acne. I focus on aluminum free, rather natural products.

    Again, what works for one may not work for the other. Maybe this is something you haven't looked into yet though.

    Do a quick google search holistic acne treatments

  3. Depending on how severe your Acne is you could use “light treatments”. This has worked for me really well. The one I’m using at the moment is the Quaser Rayz blue/red light device. It’s virtually cleared all my Acne. I sometimes get breakouts however, using this device clears it up quicker than cream.
     
  4. Have you spoken to your doctor? Your doctor might be able to help with acne.

    Do drinking lots of water really help?

    Yes. It is a very important way for your body to remove toxins. Toxins in the body have a ton of negative implications, including acne.

    I would recommend going to your local whole foods store or something similar and picking up some multivitamins for men, 1000mg vitamin C, 500mg Niacin and get yourself some gallons of water to drink frequently throughout the day.

    A disclaimer to the niacin though is its 'flushing' affects. About 20 minutes after taking it you will get a redness of your skin and itchy / hot feeling all over. It's normal, though unpleasant for some. I don't mind it so much anymore and now that I've been doing it for a while it doesn't affect me as bad. You will also find yourself going to urinate about every hour, if not more frequently when you drink a lot of water with niacin.

    Also consider a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar mixed in 8 ounces of water about 3 times a day.

  7. In my case changing my nutrition helped a lot, but it took some time to realize which foods give me pimples. Chips are the worst for me.

    Also, it has to do with hormones, that's why it's more common in guys to develop acne. Maybe check your hormonal levels with your doc and try to eat healthier.

    The best thing to do is go to a Dermatologist, i have been on isotretinoinfor 2 times(first time 1 year and a half and a second time on 8 months) and 1 time on antibiotic(3 months), and while im taking them my skin gets clearer every time despite the acne scars that i still have, you just gotta have patience and keep your head up things get better down the road, you just to do something about it because it wont fix itself, at least not as fast as you think.

    Dont use products.. dont go to the doctor to waste money..
    First i assume you do drink milk give up of it definely, its the route of acne.
    Secondly get a recipient with warm water and salt mix up with your hand the salt and the water, apply it to your face or the body part affect, you will see your 'pimples' dry and disappear.
    Like this message to let me know.
    And yes i did this when i was a teen i actually discovered it by myself

  12. Don't fap and don't wash your face with soap. Soap can clog the pores and cause an inflammatory response from your skin, the result is acne. If you've been washing your face using soap, start using water from now on. If you have been using soap, you'll thank me for this.

    I doubt you need a doctor to fix this.

    Nofap helps but only indirectly because it means you are sweating less.

    Take only cold showers. Being cold will cause the pores in your skin to close. Wash your pillow cases regularly. Give up soda. Wash your face and neck with cold water when you wake up and before sleeping.

    Drink water, limit sugar intake and cut out diary - see what happens.
     
  19. Quit dairy, processed food, fast food, fatty foods, chocolate/cacao, anything with added sugars, wash your face before going to sleep, wash your pillow's cover frequently.
    Look for an antinflammatory diet, and follow it.
    I can provide sources for all of that being tested as a problem. That should be enough, it works for me. I'm 25, and if stay out of that for a week, i get the acne back.
