Summary
Today, I’m going to tell you how to get rid of acne permanently! Acne creams and medications treat the symptoms but don’t address the root cause of the issue. Topical acne creams can address the issue temporarily. Products containing annatto extract, a special form of vitamin E, can control oil production, but the real problem is not excess oil production!
Acne and blackheads are not caused by increased oil production. The real problem is the production of thicker, stickier oil. The following factors cause this thicker sebum production:
1. Hormones (androgens)
2. Too much insulin
3. Zinc deficiency
4. Vitamin A deficiency
5. Seed oil consumption
Your sebum is mainly composed of unsaturated fat. When you consume seed oils, they eventually reemerge in your skin’s oil! Seed oils can also build up in the liver, inhibiting bile production, which interferes with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A.
Ultra-processed foods are a major contributor to acne. They contain refined sugars and refined starches, which deplete your zinc. They destroy the liver, which inhibits your ability to use vitamin A. Sugar, starches, and seed oils also contribute to insulin resistance.
For the best one-time acne fix that addresses the problem permanently, you must follow a diet that keeps androgens and insulin low, while offering plenty of zinc and vitamin A. Follow a low-carb diet, avoiding sugar and starch.
It is vital to eliminate seed oils and reduce your consumption of other foods high in omega-6 fatty acids. This includes grain-fed meat, such as grain-fed chicken, and their eggs.
For healthy skin, free of acne, consume grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish. Increase shellfish, which is high in zinc, and foods such as grass-fed butter, grass-fed beef liver, and cod liver oil for vitamin A.

| 0:00.0 | When you have blackheads, white heads, acne, pulling them out with an instrument or tweezers or using manual pressure to pinch your skin comes with a package. |
| 0:07.9 | I don't recommend you doing this. This could actually be dangerous to your skin. I did this the wrong way. |
| 0:12.3 | I put a lot of scarring on my face. What are those little structures that bring the oil to the surface of your skin? |
| 0:18.2 | The root cause of a blackhead, a white head, acne, are all coming from the |
| 0:22.3 | same thing. The solution I'm going to talk about is way better than the topical creams that |
| 0:26.7 | people are using for these issues. It's just treating the symptom. We're not fixing the cause. |
| 0:31.2 | When we're dealing with any skin problems, it's so important to identify the real problem. |
| 0:36.5 | Before we even get to a solution, if you look up |
| 0:38.3 | blackheads, white heads, it'll list things like bacterial infection, you have too many dead skin |
| 0:43.8 | cells. The difference between a white head and a blackhead, when you have a blackhead, |
| 0:47.6 | the oil inside the pore is more exposed to oxygen and it's oxidizing like an apple would turn brown |
| 0:53.5 | versus a white head, which is something that's not exposed to oxygen. When we oxidizing like an apple would turn brown versus a white head which is something |
| 0:55.4 | that's not exposed to oxygen when we're talking about pus we're mainly talking about oil one big |
| 1:00.9 | confusion of the actual problem is thinking that the person is just producing too much oil and |
| 1:07.6 | that's what's causing this whole problem some Some of these topical creams do work, |
| 1:11.3 | at least temporarily. I'm also talking about another cream called an auto extract, which is loaded |
| 1:16.7 | with a very special type of vitamin E, which does help control the oil to some degree. One of the big |
| 1:22.0 | things that I'm going to share with you is that a lot of people actually are solving the wrong |
| 1:26.8 | problem. That is actually not true. It's not the |
| 1:29.7 | excess oil production. The real problem is this. That little gland is producing thicker, stickier |
| 1:36.8 | oil that doesn't flow like normal oil. What's behind that? What causes this sticky oil? There are five causes. The fifth cause is the most |
| 1:47.4 | common. I just want to run through all of them so you know what they all are because they all relate |
