Do you sin?
Curing acne naturally can be tough.
Many acne sufferers make it even more difficult by committing these three cardinal sins: going to acne forums for advice, not thinking holistically and instant gratification.
GOING TO ACNE FORUMS FOR ADVICE
Let me tell you a cooking story. Mary, David and Mike set to make mashed potatoes.
Mary has cooked before so she almost hit the mark. She just forgot to add salt. As typical bachelors Mike and David never ventured beyond microwave and have no cooking experience. Mike forgets the whole thing on the stove and burns it. David confuses potatoes with red beets.
As you can imagine none of the three mashed potatoes taste good. Gina learns that adding salt often makes dishes taste better. And like magic her mashed potatoes taste good.
She excitedly tells Mike and David that salt makes mashed potatoes taste good. And they add some salt.
Do you think that worked? Ill it for you to decide.
You may think that has nothing to do with acne.
Yet, I see the same thing playing out at acne forums every day.
Somebody comes and types with big, bold font that they finally found a solution for acne. The story usually starts with how after many years of research and testing they found a solution that work. By the way, research usually means talking to other people who have no idea how to cure acne. And reading articles sponsored by supplement makers. Testing means buying every supplement they got their hands on until something finally got them clear. The supplement usually corrected some deficiencies that lead to acne.
So you get excited and spend some of your hard-earned money on the supplement. Yet, nothing happens. Pimples still stare back at you from the mirror. You sink back into desperation – until you see the next big, bold message.
So the cycle continues.
You keep spending your money and riding on emotional roller coaster.
Which brings us to the next mistake.
NOT THINKING HOLISTICALLY
Fact: there are thousands of ways you can get acne. Acne is a complicated disease and you cant pin it down to one or few simple causes.
Theres only one way to cure acne naturally that works for everybody and every time.
But lets return to cooking. As you know Mikes and Davids mashed potatoes are beyond salvation. The only way for them to get great tasting mashed potatoes is to start over. And this time with a good recipe.
When it comes to acne many of us have burned our mashed potatoes badly. No amount of dabbling with supplements or special regimens helps. You have to start from a clean slate.
First you have to wash the pots and pans. Meaning to get rid of toxins and other garbage thats creating havoc. The next step in getting rid of zits naturally is to rebuild your health. Little by little and putting in all the ingredients.
INSTANT GRATIFICATION
I just read an excellent book by Seth Godin called The Dip.
The dip means the obstacles and barriers you have to conquer before you reach your goal. The dip is in front of any goal worthwhile aiming for. Including clear skin.
But when it comes to getting rid of zits you are constantly bombarded with magic pills and quick-fix solutions.
When I look at the way acne products are sold I cant help to think of weight loss products. Everybody knows that those weight loss pills and fad diets dont work. Besides those who want to loose weight.
Real, sustainable weight loss is possible. You can also cure acne naturally and permanently. It just takes little time, persistence and effort.
It doesnt happen overnight and you cant buy it from infomercials./pbr
