A Natural Diet Cleared Up My Acne

Story:

While I did not have a dire health problem, I did have acne as a young adult. I tried many conventional products, saw a dermatologist, but nothing really helped. After doing my own research I tried facial soaps with natural ingredients (tea tree oil was the best) and reduced/eliminated foods with processed sugar/corn syrup, enriched & bleached flour, & msg. I pretty much focused on fresh, natural food. My complexion cleared up right away and while I can now eat those ingredients and not break out it lead me to a much healthier and informed way of eating. I avoid processed foods and eat organic when possible and I haven't had a pimple in years. It bothers me that drugs such as Retin-A and tetracylene are used so regularly in the mainstream before even looking at the diet and cleansing products. Yay healthy food!
