If you've ever been online looking for a solution to your acne, then chances are high that you've come across all the hype about curing your acne in just 72 hours.
Now, this is based on a technique called fasting, where you eat no food for the time period of the fast, or only a very few "cleansing foods".
From personal experience, I've did a lot of fasting to try and clear my acne, and can tell you what happened...
Probably the most famous fast for acne is the Acne Free in 3 Days "apple fast".
This is where you eat nothing but apples for 3 days.
(You can drink as much water as you like, but no other drinks.
) I tried this fast, and like any fasting for longer than a day, it's tough to do.
But the results for me were good, in the short term at least...
After finishing the 3 day apple fast my skin was looking very clear.
However, about a week after the fast my acne came back! So what went wrong? And what is wrong in general with fasting for clearing acne? Well, although a fast cleanses the internal system of toxins, toxins that can and do cause acne, after while, the body accumulates more toxins, and the problem returns...
This means that if you want to stay permanently acne-free by fasting, you have to fast on a very regularly basis, and I would estimate about 5-10 days per month.
This is extremely hard to stick to, and I found it unworkable...
However, I did find out about another natural method that is easier to stick to, and produces clear skin permanently.
