In this video, I break down the top foods you should be eating and supplements you should be taking to get rid of acne. I also cover the best face washes to use for clean, healthy skin and what foods you MUST get out of your diet immediately if you want to get rid of your acne.

Causes of Acne:
-One of the leading causes of acne today is the buildup of bad bacteria, yeast, and candida in the gut and digestive tract.
-Taking antibiotic drugs and birth control pills, drinking chlorinated and fluorinated water, and consuming excess sugar can increase the growth of bad bacteria, yeast, and candida within the body.

1. Remove: Sugar, which feeds yeast and candida. Also, reduce fruit intake.
Replace with: Stevia, a calorie-free, sugar-free, all-natural sweetener.
Raw Honey, a healthy, natural sweetener.
Consume berries in moderation.

2. Remove: Grains, especially gluten, which causes inflammation of the intestinal tract.
Healing the gut will clear the skin.
Replace with: Gluten-free grains, such as coconut flour and almond flour.

3. Remove: Hydrogenated oils, which increase the amount of oils in the sebaceous glands of the skin.
Replace with: Healthy fats, such as coconut oil.
