I have to admit this. I was heavily troubled by acne for nine long years and I totally hate the zits that never seemed to go away. I went to the doctor for help, ended up risking my kidneys and wasted a lot of money. I tried numerous so called, "proactive" acne products, but never got any significant results. I, then went on to test some techniques and methods that proved to be big winners. There are a lot of tips I have accumulated over these years and I would like to share some of them with you here.

Tip 1 - Never buy expensive and branded products unless you absolutely think that it is going to make a difference.

Most acne treating creams or products on the marketplace are made using benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. They only changed the names and make the brands sound and look fancy. Most of the time, the bottle of lotion that costs a lot less contains the exact same amount of active ingredients compared to the more expensive ones. So, don't buy things based on the brands and price, as they rarely measure the quality of the products.

Tip 2 - Benzoyl peroxide and tea tree oil.

Benzoyl peroxide is good at getting rid of acne, but tea tree oil is much better. I recommend using one of these only. They both work on acne for the fact that they have the ability to kill acne causing bacterias. Benzoyl peroxide also helps drying the pores. But in most cases I would recommend people to use tea tree oil. It's cheaper and more effective and does not cause any irritations and side effect.

Tip 3 - Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is also a good herb you can use to cure and relieve acne condition. Aloe vera contains some elements that can accelerate the healing process of the skin. As a result, your acne, scars and marks will heal a lot faster. Aloe vera also contains tons of vitamins and minerals that are great for the maintenance of your skin's health.

Tip 4 - Face washing tips for everyone.

Choose cleansers based on your skin type. And make sure your don't wash your face more than 3 times a day.

Tip 5 - Detoxification

This is the single most effective method to get rid of acne. There are numerous health benefits that come along at the same time too. To detoxify your body effectively, there are some great tips I found out:

1. Drink a lot of water. This will flush your toxins out.

2. Eat healthily. More fruits and vegetables. Less salted, fatty foods with tons of coloring.

3. Sweat more. Exercise.

4. Fasting.

Getting rid of acne is easy if you just know what works and what works not. If I tell you that it is possible to cure your acne in just two months, without spending any money on medical treatment and products, would you believe me? You better be, because I am a living proof that shows it is possible to cure acne of any severity in just 2 months.

Ooh, did I mention that the acne condition I was having was among the most severe my dermatologist, father, mother, school teachers, the clerk in the office, and many other people had ever seen? I had hundreds of acne on my face until I learned the secret to cure acne.
