The first point that all pimple sufferers must understand is that any disease, regardless of its actual medical diagnosis, is a result of the clogging up of the body tissues and as the body fights to clear / unclog itself, the process is manifested in several different ways.

The body works to eliminate toxins and zits are simply an indication that you need to cleanse internally and externally.

This cleansing must be taken with care but with a fast's unmatched ability to restore skin / get rid of zits fast you will see a huge improvement in your skin condition at the completion of a 3 day fast.

Prior to commencing a fast you need to make a change in your diet and eliminate all mucus / acid forming foods, for example processed - junk - fast foods, confectioneries and the carbonated soft drinks; you need to eat wholesome & natural foods such as fresh fruit, leaf vegetables, nuts, root vegetables, freshly squeezed juices - that is, consume only foods that are mucus binding or alkaline forming.

A suggested simple menu plan to get rid of zits fast (remember, this is a 'fast' in order to rid your body of toxins that are causing the zits):

For Your Breakfast:

Have a large glass of fresh fruit juice plain iced water.

For Your Lunch:

Any fruit that is in season: Apples, Melons, Berries. Don't mix the fruits at one meal.

For Your Dinner:

Either fresh, home-made salads with simple dressing made with Lemon juice, olive oil and uniodized salt

or raw and / or cooked root vegetables such as Potatoes, Carrots and Celery

Do not drink any liquids with your meal as these tend to dilute the digestive juices in your stomach hence slowing digestion and assimilation and increasing the tendency for constipation. Wait a full hour after your meal before having any liquids.

This simple but extremely effective fast has been known to get rid of zits in as little as three days.

External cleansing ...

• change your pillow case every other night - sleep on one side the first night and then turn it over for the second night, then change it.

• do not,at any time, touch your face with unwashed hands. Use a tissue if you itch.

• wash your hair every night or use a wrap around night cap that covers the hair and then wash the cap every morning. Hair harbours bacteria and will transfer to your face via your pillow.

• steam your face to help the skin eliminate toxins through sweating (a bowl of boiling water on the table, cover your head with a towel), or visit the steam room at a gym.

• all exercise will help the body in detoxification and metabolism; this may be in the form of running or jogging or simply light aerobic-style exercise to music in the comfort of your own home.

Zits, as impossible as it may seem, are simple to control without drugs and only using all natural methods.

Do not become disheartened - just a few short days and you will be able to go out and show your smooth face to the world! I hope the above helps you to get rid of your zits fast.
