This Man With Severe Acne Reveals His Secret To Unbelievable Skin

#1

23-year-old Brian Turner, a bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast who gained a sizable YouTube following discussing fitness, health, and diet topics.

But he was also struggling with severe acne the whole time. It was not only painful, but didn't exactly do wonders for his self esteem.

Gradually, though, he started making changes in his life. Some were small, and some were larger, and he began to see his skin clearing up.

Over the course of three years, his skin cleared up entirely, and the angry red welts are a thing of the past today.

So how did he do it? Well, he's more than willing to share his secrets. His methods might seem on the extreme side, but for very sensitive, breakout-prone skin like Turner's, extreme is the way to go to get clear skin.

You'll notice he's also rocking a pink hairdo in this photo it was for breast cancer awareness back in October!

So what's his secret, anyway?

The first change was diet.

Turner is a vegan, and eats 12 servings of vegetables a day.

He prepares them in various ways, but it's all vegetables and makes for a super clean diet.

#5 He is very serious about vegetables.

#6 He also increased his water intake to a gallon a day, and completely cut out soft drinks, juice, and alcohol.

#7

He's also given up a number of foods that aggravate his skin, like dairy, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and cocoa.

He's also cut down on gluten, soy, and fats where possible.

Of course, that doesn't mean he goes without good-tasting food. This creamy chowder is potato-based.

Naturally, everyone reacts differently to different foods, so this is just what worked for Turner. A different body will have different results.

He also changed his sheets and pillowcases every night so he wouldn't come in contact with any sweat or oils from the night before, and was sure to shower any time he got even a little sweaty. And being a bodybuilder, that was often.

Eventually, his skin cleared up enough to have the scarring from old blemishes reduced, leaving his skin smooth and fresh.

#9

And it's really quite a transformation.

It might look magical, but it was actually due to dedication on Turner's part, and really making an effort to stick by the changes he'd made.

Other tips include not touching your face to avoid transferring gunk from your hands, and being sure to get at least seven or eight hours of sleep each night, as lack of sleep can result in stressed-out skin.

And if all else fails, see a dermatologist who can recommend other treatments.
