Acne is a problem for a large portion of society, but there are so many different ways to treat it that it can be difficult to decide where to begin.

There are both teenagers and adults who suffer from acne, and in its most severe form it can result in cysts developing on the face and body.

One man suffered from a fairly severe case of acne, and it left his face blotchy and red. 23-year-old Brian Turner had it bad, but he used some interesting and effective changes to his lifestyle to create the change he wanted to see. He essentially cut out every potential source of acne in his life.

Turner was always a fitness nut, so making many of these changes was right in his wheelhouse. He worked hard to make daily tweaks to his diet, habits, and exposures.

He slowly started to see his skin clear up, and soon it was entirely a thing of his past. His first major change was to his diet. He started on a vegan diet, and he eats about 12 servings of vegetables every single day. His super pure diet has allowed his body to flush out many of the toxins that cause acne.

Other changes were probably harder, and many very well seem impossible to some. He gave up all soft drinks, juices, alcohol, and basically anything other than water. He drinks a gallon per day, and that extreme hydration helps his skin take care of itself.

He has also cut out other things that he has found irritate his skin, like dairy products, cocoa, and artificial sweeteners. Even with his vegan diet, he still tries to limit his soy, gluten, and fat intake as well.
