The Apple Diet Detox


If you've been researching through the Internet, or books, about clearing acne, natural acne treatments, or any other natural health treatments for acne free skin, you've probably come across the famous and popular Apple Diet Detox.

The regime goes along the lines of eating apples and drinking only organic apple juice for several days, along with taking a series of epsom salts mixed in with water (the laxative) on the final night, and then taking the final dose of epsom salt mixture with olive oil.  Expect your tummy to churn heavily as you release stool (and stones) regularly throughout the next morning and into the afternoon.

It's pretty intense, especially if you're slightly underweight, and definitely uncomfortable to say the least.

If you want a slightly lighter natural detox, which also helps as a natural acne treatment, then try the following:

1. Eat apples (your prefered choice) throughout the day... breakfast, lunch and snack time.
2. Drink organic apple juice and as much mineral water as you can (preferably every 2 hours).
3. For dinner, eat mostly vegetables.  You can add wholegrains and very small portions of meat to your meal, such as fish.

This will help improve your digestive system, relieve constipation and of course, it's a small step to getting clear skin.

You can follow these simple steps for as long as you can handle the Apple Diet Detox (even a week if you can manage), and watch that acne slowly disappear off the surface of your skin.  The fruit and mostly green diet will provide the "mild laxative", so you can avoid the pain and inconvenience of the heavy detox flushes.

Do this as often as you can - at least once a week if you have to, or try doing it at least once every month.

To learn about the full Apple Diet Detox regime, you can click here to read a review about Acne Free In 3 Days, a book that covers in detail about the apple detox diet.

And as always, Good Luck, and I'd love to hear on your progress.

How To Prevent And Control Acne

Some useful easy to follow acne prevention tips.  You can read the full article at Skin Care Tips Online.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #1:
DEVELOP A GOOD FACIAL SKIN CARE ROUTINE

A good daily facial skin cleansing routine is important for healthy beautiful skin. Be gentle with your skin as your skin should not be over stimulated. Over stimulation will lead excessive oil production.

A certain amount of discipline and patience is required here. Improvements will not happen overnight and usually come in small quantities. Over time, you will see significant improvements to the skin.

Use facial scrubs once a week. This will help to remove dead skin and prevent the clogging of pores.

Give your skin a treat by going for a facial once a month. If you find facials at salons too expensive, try this do it yourself home facial.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #4:
KEEP YOUR HAIR AWAY FROM YOUR FACE

If you tend to have serious acne outbreaks, try to keep your hair (including your fringe) away from the face. This is especially so if you have a lot of pimples on the forehead.

If you must use hair spray or hair gel, be sure to keep it away from the face. Oily hair sprays and hair gel will aggravate the acne condition.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #5:
REMOVE STALE MAKE-UP

Remove all make-up and thoroughly cleanse the face before going to bed. Stale make-up will lead to clogging of the skin’s pores.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #6:
USE CLEAN TOWELS

Always use clean face and bath towels. Dirty towels contain bacteria which will make the acne condition worse.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #9:
EXERCISE REGULARLY

Exercising regularly will help to improve blood circulation and overall health. When the body sweats, it is getting rid of waste from the body. After exercising, try to shower soon after the body has cooled down sufficiently. Sweat combined with the skin’s oils will trap dirt and clog the skin’s pores.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #10:
REDUCE STRESS

Too much stress will have a negative impact on your health and your skin.

Is your life too stressful? Review your lifestyle and look for ways to reduce stress. Are there activities that will help to take away of the stress of life? After a hard day’s work, put on some soothing music, lie back and relax for 15 minutes.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #11:
A BALANCED DIET

A healthy diet is essential for better control of acne problems. Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and water. Fruits and vegetables introduce fibre into the body system and helps to remove waste. Water hydrates the body and prevents dry skin.


ACNE CONTROL TIP #12:
GET PLENTY OF SLEEP

Get plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep can make your acne condition worse, leads to puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes.
