Hey guys!!…
Just to make things more clear!!…
Acne is primarily a kind of body malfunction!! When the body fails to breakup blood lipids into energy… the body gets rid of these lipids through the sebaceous glands and blockages happen and acne are born!! The main reason as to why this malfunction happens is not quite known!! most probably it is a genetic factor!!
So when drinking milk!! notice that milk contains about 4% fat content about 32 grams of fats in a liter of milk!! which is about more fat in the body to get rid of through the face!! and thus more acne!!..
Even when drinking skimmed milk!! acne will occur.. that’s actually is the key to know how to cure acne!!… the BIG portion of calories of skimmed milk comes from sugars!! As we know .. the body adapts well for any change!! A diet high in sugars and carbs compels the body to be sugar burner!! Sugar metabolizer… So it will go for sugar and burns them for energy instead of burning fats into energy!! and fats thus is accumulated or thrown out through the skin and face!!.. Not to forget that carbs and sugars are inflammatory agents!!So … what’s the key here? Try to eliminate carbohydrates COMPLETELY from your diet for a while!! and depend ONLY on fats and some protein!!! This way..!! you will be forcing your body to be a FAT Burner and thus it will be more efficient at burning fats and lipids for energy.. and no fats are expelled through the skin!! At first you will see your acne is getting worse!!.. maybe for a week or two!! then your skin will be less oily, and healthier and toner…!! after you have the clear face you want which might occur after a month! you can start introducing carbs again to your diet!! even milk!! but be sure to keep your diet low on carbs and high in fats!!! You can supplement with B-Complex or Pantothenic acid for fatser results.
THAT’s HOW I CURED MY 10 years-OLD ACNE!!

I agree whole-heartedly that drinking milk (whole milk is my fave) gives me, or at least has strong positive correlation to, acne development. Two years ago, a dermatologist told me that she could tell by the type of acne that I have, that I am an avid milk drinker and suggested that I cut it out for a while to see the difference it makes. I too am continually struggling to give up milk, but have not fully cut it out of my diet. As soon as I cut milk out completely, my skin clears up so nicely that I get lots of compliments. As soon as have a few glasses of milk, the zits resurface within 24 hours. I wish I was aware of this correlation years ago. I shared this story with an acquaintance who also suffers from (more severe) acne. I saw her a month later, and her skin looked great. She said she cut out dairy. Hopefully sharing this story will help those who suffer from milk/dairy-induced acne.

I am proof this is true! My nutrition coach mentioned cow dairy was bad for the skin – being a cheeze lover I was reluctant to give it up. I did leave cow dairy behind and have found a better complection, but I find that goat dairy is not as abrasive and I still enjoy my milk and cheeze! All I can say is seeing is believing and I am a believer!

I cured acne after reading a book called No Acne for Me. I thought there were no cure or treatment but apperently I looked the wrong places. Acne free and acne cure – get this book.

Thanks for this! I’ve had acne problems for 20 years (I’m now 36). Acne creams and Retin A didn’t help much. In April, I gave up drinking skim milk (though not yogurt and cheese yet). My skin’s finally started to clear up. I really wish I’d tried cutting back on milk years ago.

Something to point out, skin allergies happens for some rare cases when the patient consume milk.

I don’t know if I can give up my love of milk for the few pimples I get a month. But it would explain why nothing helps any more.

I’m one of those who do not drink milk but still get acne. I always had acne during my teen years(sob) but it disappeared when I was in my early twenties.

This is very informative, if it works for you then good. Teenagers should be informed of this.
