HOW I CLEARED MY CYSTIC ACNE _NATURALLY_ + TIPS

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you... How I cleaned my skin. Before you start watching this video, please go and watch my previous video if you haven't already. This video is part two of my acne journey. It has all types of information in it that I think you guys should watch as well and will really help you. So before I get started, I just want to say a very, very big thank you to everyone for all the love and support in my previous video. Comments and DMs I got from literally people all around the world. And I'm so happy that I could help people in terms of giving them the comfort that they're not alone. And I feel like that was the reason of my video. So I'm so happy that I was able to get that message across to people. For those who don't know, I suffered with severe cystic acne for about two years. In the past six months, in particular my dad has really helped me into this more natural kind of kick and we get out of this mindset of needing medication to fix myself. So basically, I'm just going to be sharing with you guys what my dad has taught me and what has actually helped clear my skin. Everything that I'm saying in this video is going to be 100% natural. As I did say in my previous video that I'm not the type of person to hop onto medication because I feel like whatever's showing on my skin or my body is just a mirror of what's actually going on inside my body. So for taking medication, I believe that that is just putting a mask on the actual problem. We're not really solving anything. So yeah, I wanted to make sure that I can actually help whatever the problem is inside my body so I wouldn't have to worry about this same kind of problem in a couple of years. So this is my skin now. Everyone should get out a notepad because this information that I'm going to give you, I don't want you guys to forget. If I keep looking down, it's just because I have notes and I just want to make sure I don't miss anything. So let's get into it! Okay, everything that I'm missing in this video is basically like a daily routine. I've been doing this every single day for the past 6 months to achieve the skin I have now. And the first thing I started doing was lemon water. Half a glass of warm water and half a glass of just normal water from the tap. Squeeze half a lemon and drink that every morning with a straw. Lemon water is really good for your digestive system. It really helps flush out all those toxins. Lemon water is very high in vitamin C. So yeah, having that on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is very, very good. Second thing I started doing was 15 minutes after I have my lemon juice, I have celery juice. I aim to drink a minimum of 16 ounces every morning. If you can, get your hands on organic celery. Organic celery is much better for you as it doesn't have all the sprays and stuff that they put on supermarket kind of fruits. Roughly about 7 to 8 stems is equivalent to one cup. So basically we're just going to cut the end and we're going to cut the leaves off. You can keep the leaves on or you can cut them off. I guess it's personal preference. I personally don't like keeping the leaves on. I feel like the leaves make celery so much more bitter. It has to be freshly juiced that morning. You can't have like leftovers from the day before. Celery contains vitamin K, vitamin A, potassium and folate. My relationship with celery juice is pretty much a love-hate kind of relationship. I can't even begin to tell you how much celery alone has cleared my skin. Within like the first week, I saw changes from the celery, but the taste... I've been having celery for the past 6 months and the taste every morning is still a struggle. It is very bitter, but I always tell myself and this is one thing that I have told myself and it actually gets me through the drink is if I can drink alcohol and I hate the taste of alcohol and it's bad for me, then I can have celery juice that tastes so bad, but it's so good for me. So that's one thing I always remind myself every morning and yeah. The one thing you will notice when you start doing celery is your bowel movement. It becomes much more frequent, like much more frequent and it's completely normal. It's supposed to do that as celery is a detox, so it's basically just flushing out the toxins. So that's something that you should be happy about, I guess. After you finish the celery juice, wait 15 minutes until you can't have breakfast or any sort of other meal. The third thing that I started doing was drinking a minimum of 2 liters of water a day. And I know for some people this will be a big thing because a lot of people I know don't actually like drinking water. I love drinking water, but there's people that can go like a whole day with like half a glass of water. And I'm like, how does that happen? One thing that helped me a lot to have a minimum of 2 liters of water a day was buying a drink bottle of 2 liters. Making sure that the drink bottle, of course, is BPA-free. And for those who don't know what BPA is, BPA is basically in plastic, it's like chemicals to make the plastic reusable. And basically that chemical can be broken down into your water and that is something that you don't want to be consuming. So making sure that you get BPA-free plastic or even like stainless steel and glass type of bottles. Filtered water, of course. And what I did to finish my water was I would tell myself that if I'm going to carry this around, the more water I drink, the lighter it's going to get. So I would just drink water all day, just to make it easier for myself to hold the drink bottle. And yeah, like it helped. Like I would drink probably more water than 2 liters just because I would drink that during the day and then I'd come home and I'd continue drinking water. But drinking water really did help pass more toxins out. So the first three are kind of detoxes. So that is what I did through the day. The fourth thing I did was before I went to bed, I would use aloe vera. Aloe vera, for those who don't know, aloe vera is a plant. So basically what I did with my aloe vera is every night I would cut a few centimeters of the plant. I would cut it open and I would basically just put that on my face. Aloe vera does dry and it's no longer sticky. It's clear. It doesn't stain. So it's not like it's going to be a problem with your sheets. Yeah, I put that on every night and after it's dry, I go to bed, wake up in the morning and I just wash it off. Aloe vera has helped me, and I know I've said this with all of them, but this one has helped me so much in terms of inflammation. And it really helped speed up a healing process. So if I had pimples that would be popping, I would be popping that on and my skin the next day, the pimple would like pretty much be healed. Aloe vera does have antibacterial properties, so that does help as well. This is probably one of the most important ones. I don't think people really realize that diet does play a big role. I've had to cut out certain type of foods. And honestly, at first, I'm not going to lie, it was very hard, but I feel like, honestly, I feel better. Because I feel like my body didn't react to these foods very well. For example, soy. My body, every time I would have soy, such as like all kind of Thai type of foods, I would always get really sick after. So I did my research and I found out soy actually does make you break out. So that was one thing that I had to stop doing. So a couple of things that I had to cut out was soy and sugar. And also sesame, but I'm allergic to sesame, so that wasn't really a problem for me. So yeah, they are the things that I had cut out of my diet. I have a sweet tooth, so especially around that time of the month, it was really, really hard. But I know that it was for the better, so I just kept pushing through. So soy, sesame, and sugar. And the last thing that I have done to help clear my skin is clay masks once a week. So the mask that I chose to do was the Aztec Indian Healing Clay Mask. This mask is considered one of the strongest masks in the world. So everyone on the internet is raving about how amazing this mask is. And I thought I'd give it a try. And this mask, wow. I can't talk now. It's dry, so... Before this, I was very sceptical on doing masks. Because a lot of masks you buy, they have lots of, like, chemicals and other C-1, 2, 3 type of ingredients. And it's kind of scary to be putting that kind of stuff on your skin. So yeah, once I found out that this mask is 100% natural, it is made from 100% calcium bentonite clay. It's free from any additives, fragrances, and all that kind of stuff. So I thought I'd give it a try. What's there to lose? My skin's really bad when I first tried this. And the first few times I used this mask, I broke out. So I'm thinking, because I never did masks before this, I never did any active type of masks, I guess. I never got facials. So basically, I had a lot of congestion going on in my skin. So this mask, once it was pulling everything out of my pores, it was bringing up all that kind of stuff. So that was causing me to break out. Because once all that stuff was coming out, my skin was getting so clear. I usually do this mask once a week. This mask is really good because even when you have bumps that don't have heads, they're not, like, pimples yet, you pop this mask on, and the pimples literally from, like, this on your face is like that. Basically, that's all that I've been using in terms of products for my face. A couple of tips for you guys is changing your pillowcase. Every week, I try to change my pillowcase. Three days, I lay on one side of the pillow, and then for the other three days of the week, I'll lay on the other side of the pillow, and then I'll change it. This is because bacteria on your pillowcase that could be going onto your face and my problem area is my cheeks, so it is very important for me to make sure that I'm minimizing as much bacteria as I can. Second tip is to not touch your face. I have this mirror in my bathroom, and I honestly, like, it gets to a point where I have to take it out some days because there's, like, a magnifying side of it. And if I look at it for too long, blackheads that weren't even, like, visible, I made pimples because, like, I would pick at blackheads, and I would just pick at anything on my face, and then the next day, it would turn into a pimple. It's spreading bacteria, and basically, you're creating scarring. I said scarring, it's not fun. We just want to prevent that. Um, another tip is don't touch your face. Like, lean on your face or, like, touch your face if your hands aren't washed because you have, you touch things all the time, like, you're touching everything throughout the day, and it gives me anxiety. I can't let people touch my face. I've become, like, a freak with that kind of stuff. Like, people are not allowed to touch my face. If they get close, I'm like, like, don't touch my face. There's just bacteria on your hands, and then you're touching your face, and you're getting dirt all over your face. It's, eh. My final tip is clean your phone. Like, your phone is literally, like, my phone goes everywhere with me, and, like, everywhere I go, I touch my phone, I touch things, I touch my phone. There's so much bacteria on your phone. Someone told me, I don't know if it's true, but your phone has more bacteria than a toilet seat. So, basically, what I do, I just get, like, wipes, and I just wash my phone, like, every day. I just wipe it. Because if you're on the phone, you put your thing to your head, all that bacteria from your fingers is now on your face, and voila, you've got pimples. So, yeah, this concludes my how I cleave my skin video. I really hope you guys did enjoy this video. This is what helped me, and I really hope that this video can help you guys, too. Um, everything, as I said, is 100% natural. So, in saying that, it will take longer than medication will. And I really hope that people who do try this don't become impatient and just stop doing this, because, honestly, like, this is not just something you do for, like, six months, or three months, a month, or something like that. This is, like, a lifestyle, and it is, like, a really, really good thing to, like, start practising, because this is your body. You are taking care of your body. You're not just clearing your skin. Like, you're taking care of everything inside your body. You're flushing out the toxins with everything that I'm doing. Your body will thank you. And, yeah, I just feel like it's really important, like, for people to realise that doing things naturally is so much better than living off medication and taking medication every day. And, also, I just want you guys to be active with me, like you were in my last video, and just ask me questions. Um, I love answering you guys' questions. I love hearing you guys' opinions.
