Hey did any of you notice any improvement of your acne while fasting and if so, how long did it take for pimples and hyperpigmentation scars to go away or fade greatly? What about intermittent fasting?
I did, when I did a 37 hour fast. Pimples came back when I fell off the wagon and ate a bunch of processed and sugar rich foods. Aiming to do a 72 hour fast starting in the morning and curious about the impact.
Ohhhhh yes! So there were a couple of items that happened for me. I previously had hormonal acne- inflammation was greatly reduced from fasting. When I originally started fasting for 24-48 hours. That was noticeable within a month or two. I also had some very deep little bumps that I believe were from vaping. After quitting that and fasting, the deeper bumps seemed to go away. Now my skin is basically 100% clear aside from the occasional pimple from not taking make up off or whatever.
I now am hoping to see a decent change on my hyper and hypo pigmentation (I was a sever picker in a past life). I’m on my 3rd 7 day water fast and it does seem to be fading. I also use vitamin c serum and take 3,000 mg vitamin c orally when not fasting which helps a ton. It’s a slow process but over the last year the dark marks have become soooo much less noticeable that I barely wear make up anymore.
I will add that oddly enough my back started breaking out more with fasting. I’m gunna call it purging as it is getting better but just know it can get worse before better for some.
Good luck!
