How to Start a New Acne Treatment

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy preparing for my first week on the AcneNoMore program which I will be starting on July 1st.

The first thing the AcneNoMore book recommends is to prepare yourselfs mentally for the transformation. The AcneNoMore is a very extreme program that requires mental strength and commitment. These preparation steps are aimed at pinpointing exactly why you want your acne gone and to change your state of mind.

In the past, I have always been weary of new acne products and their claims. I've always tried not to get excited about new skin care products in fear of being disappointed by them. But this time around, I am going to take a completely different approach. It's said that if you act like something great will happen, something great will.

The ebook suggests that you make a list with answers the following question:

1. What do you desire to be changed during this program and the reasons for it?

• My skin: my skin is by far my biggest insecurity and I feel like it really holds me back in social situations

• Have a body that is totally in shape: throughout the program, it suggests getting daily activity. But, being the extremist that I am, I have decided to get 60 minutes every day of total body cardio which includes running, the spin bike and several other activities that I found on Pinterest (amazing app). I really what to change my body because recently I've gained a few pounds and just for that added confidence

• My confidance: like I've said in previous posts, my confidance is really low and with this program I hope I can gain the confidance to be outgoing and my true self at school

• My health: this is something that I know is definitely going to improve during this program even if my skin doesn't. I really want to be healthy so I can be skinny, feel better and get rid of my constipation (I definitely don't have full on constipation but I do believe I have a small form of it)

Starting on July 1st I will be starting the AcneNoMore program and each day I will be keeping you up to date on my skin, how I felt, my workout plan and what I ate.

And of course,
Good Luck!

The Basic AcneNoMore Program

The AcneNoMore book comes with three different programs that vary slightly in which to cure your acne. The first program is the AcneNoMore quick results program. This program is a shortened version of the basic AcneNoMore program and is aimed at people that don't want to commit to such an extreme program and have tight schedules. Although it is less intense, I wouldn't recommend the quick results program as it warns you that this will not totally cure all of your acne. 

The second program in the book is the advanced AcneNoMore program which is similar to the basic program but includes water fasting and more detox diets (comment below if you would like a post explaining detox diets). Throughout July and August I will not be following this program but I would recommend to those of you who are looking for a faster way to get rid of your acne or have cysts. 

Finally is the basic AcneNoMore program which I will be following. Bear in mind that this program is a little extreme versus most acne regimens consisting only of external treatments. Bear in mind that I don't own any rights to this book or the program and am not telling you what to do and I am not a doctor. I am simply documenting what I will be doing throughout the next two months. 

Weeks 1 and 2:

Five Days - NSC Plan

Two Days - Detox Diet

Three Days - Juicing 

Two Days - 100% raw vegetables and fruits

Two Days - NSC Plan

Weeks 3 and 4:

Two Days - NSC Plan

Twelve Days - Liver and Gallbladder Flush Plan

Weeks 5 and 6:

Two Days - Detox Diet

Twelve Days - NSC Plan

Weeks 7 and 8:

Twelve Days - Liver and Gallbladder Flush Plan

Two Days - NSC Plan

Also, the program includes following the natural skin care plan, stress control techniques, getting sunlight and optimized sleep strategies which you follow throughout the whole program. 

**I will be doing more blog posts about every single step in the program with tips and tricks, how to prepare and what each step does for you body and skin. So please **subscribe** (:P) so that you always know when I post for info on the program.** 

I hope that one day you can either try this program or at least learn something so you can cure your acne. Remember that I haven't tried the program yet and am still on the same journey as you. 

Good Luck

What is Acne No More?

Acne No More... is sounds to good to be true doesn't it? Well maybe. But I'm still hopeful. This is the eight week program that I will be starting on July 1st and will hopefully cure my acne. Acne No More is an ebook that costs around forty bucks. Now, if you go to the website, I'm going to warn you now: it looks like one hell of a scam. However, I still bought it and so far I'm not regretting it. By the way, all of what my I say about AcneNoMore or anything else are entirely my own opinions and nothing is sponsored.

Anyway, AcneNoMore is essentially a holistic and natural program that works from the inside out to cleanse your system to permanently cure your acne forever, or at least that's what it claims. Now don't get me wrong, I'm trying to sell you the book or convince you of anything. This is just my personal opinion, and starting on Canada Day, I will be starting the program. 

Although, I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up, I'm still really excited about the possibility of my acne disappearing. After reading this book, three times (I know, I'm crazy) I have come to the conclusion that acne is formed my genetic tendencies, toxins in your body and hormones. But, according to Mike Walden, the author, this can all be fixed with a combination of juice fasting, detoxing, eating extremely healthy, cutting animal meat, sugars, processed foods and cooked meals almost completely and cleansing and flushing your body of toxins. That and the addition of external skin care treatments (natural of course), stress release, meditation, supplements and sleep techniques all wrapped up into one, is the only solution to permanently cure your acne. 

Throughout the summer, I will be keeping you updated on my skin's progress, my supplements, recipes for going vegan (which you essentially need to do to complete this program), eating raw, juice fasting and the ultimate question of "Does AcneNoMore cure your acne?" Just remember that these tips are all for you and I hope you find them useful. Know that clear skin is possible and I really hope this program can help me and all of you acne sufferers out there so that we live life happy and healthy. 

Good Luck 

My Story

Hey to all you acne sufferers out there. First of all, let me congratulate you on finding my blog. This journey that I'm about to take as been almost a year in the making. Let me just say, that I'm exactly like you and know all the pain and insecurities that come along with having acne.  

I'm a 14 year old girl (almost 15!) and have been dealing with acne since I was ten. Naturally I'm a fairly shy person, but I believe that acne has really shut me in. My terrible skin is by far my biggest insecurity and is always on my mind. Although there are more people with acne to relate to in high school, elementary school was a nightmare. I remember walking through the halls seeing everyone's glowing, clear skin and then looking at my own, not knowing why my forehead was covered in red dots. 

Since then I acne as my quickly spreading throughout my body. Currently I have acne on my forehead, temples, cheeks, chin and nose, as well as my neck and back. Throughout the years my confidence has slowly been climbing back up only to have yet another breakout and have my confidence come crashing back down. Since last summer, my acne as gotten so unbearable that I have resorted to covering my loads of makeup. The problem with acne is that makeup doesn't cover everything. Not only that but my oily skin creates my foundation not only to fade but literally slip off my skin, leaving me look like I just smeared Vaseline all over my face.  

I don't think that anyone that has never experienced acne can ever fully understand. Of course there are tons of doctor's that research the subject but hardly any of them at all realize the true mental scars that it leaves you. For me, my makeup hides just a little bit of those scars. But unfortunately it's just a quick fix that I'm done hiding behind. I'm done not wanting to go to sleepovers for the fear of my friends seeing my skin. i'm done not wanting to go to a pool party because my makeup with wash off. For four years I have been constantly trying to figure out my skin and cure my acne, my many tears shed along the way.  

Throughout the years I have tried what seems like almost every acne cleanser, toner and treatment in the drugstore, Proactiv, SkinID, the acne.org regimen and several natural acne supplements. But I'm ready to find a really cure, a permanent solution to my acne and oily skin. I'm ready to devote the time, energy and patience to finding a natural solution and not just coating my skin with chemicals. I believe that I have done the research and all the planning and finally found a program that could be what I'm looking for. Throughout this journey I will hold nothing back, share all of my tips and tricks, my emotional journey and my skin updates, as well as and update on everything I'm doing to help cure my acne. 

This blog is not only for me but for you. Acne is nothing I would never wish upon anybody and I know the struggles you all face with insecurities, confidence and bullying. I hope that this blog will teach you something so that you to can cure your skin. If nothing else, I just want you guys to know that there are real people going through the same thing you are, and not just Justin Beiber on a Proactiv commercial with an airbrushed face. 

I hope you guys know that you're not alone and good luck with your acne journey.
