Acne Care Treatment: What You Need To Know About Detox Diets

Are you still looking for the perfect acne care treatment? Maybe you've tried topical otc creams like benzoyl peroxide and even tea tree oil but found that they do not always work. You have visited your dermatologist, but you can't deal with the side effects of his prescription. You've just about given up hope for getting rid of your acne. Then you heard about detox diets. 20th century doctors say they're bunkum. But who cares - you're desperate!

What Are Detox Diets?

Detox is based on the hypothesis that all diseases are caused by toxins in the body. They aim to remove the toxins from your body. No more toxins means perfect health - including no more acne! Very often, detox diets come as part and parcel of a holistic health treatment, and require lifestyle changes for maximum effectiveness.

Unlike the diets used by many female weight-watchers, a detox diet does not necessarily mean you need to go hungry. There are many types of detox diets, some of them very simple, and some which are rather complex. Unlike weight-reduction diets, the main purpose of detox diets is not to reduce calories, but to eliminate the intake of foods which can produce toxins in the body. At the same time, you may need to take some vitamin and herbal supplements to encourage the body to flush out existing toxins more quickly.

Do Detox Diets Really Work? Is There Any Proof That Detox Diets Get Rid Of Your Acne?

I won't comment on the commercial detox diets being marketed today. However, I have seen the positive effects of basic, fruit-based detox diets on my colleagues. One of these people was a businessman in his 50-s. Despite his age and stressful lifestyle (he was running his family business and at the same time building up a new network marketing business), his skin was in superb condition. Every weekend, he eats only fruits and drinks only unsweetened fruit juice or plain water.

This same detox diet causes me to feel enervated, although I know it is a purely psychological reaction. After all, I'm still consuming the same amount of calories! Nevertheless, I have had good results by replacing a part of my regular carb intake with fruits. For Instance, instead of eating all the rice, bread, mashed potatoes or french fries, I will eat only half and replace the remaining half with fruits. I seldom have trouble with pimples nowadays.

So What Is A Good Detox Diet? How Do You Benefit From It?

The weekend fruits-only and plain water diet is safe, cheap and effective. It's also adaptable - I had a few lady colleagues who only eat fruits or drink fruit juice for breakfast. On the other hand, I replace half of my daily carbohydrate intake with fruits. There were two Indian consultants at my old office - one's a vegetarian, the other only eats fruits for dinner! Both had good complexion.

Clearly, such a simple detox diet may take a bit of time to work for some people. It helps to take a more holistic approach - make sure you also exercise and sleep more. If you want to get rid of your acne quickly, completely, you may need to look for a properly designed holistic system of acne care treatment.
