Fasting for better skin - ridding yourself of acne scars, wrinkles...? Etc. Possible?

Hello

So i read a lot about fasting and its benefits, i already do intermittent fasting (20-4) for months, and recently completed 2 day and 3 day (3and a half to be exact) fasts. Cant really say i see any benefits from either (fasting or intermittent fasting), but hey… “all” people say its beneficial so i hope it does something for me :-).

My question is, is there any chance that fasting can help also with “small to medium” ( simply - nothing that heavy) acne scars (like years/decade+ old), and wrinkles etc… in the face? Can it have even this powerful effect on the skin (face)…?

I read that it CAN have such effects , but its hard for me to believe…

If the answer is yes, how long of a fast we are talking here to see such benefits…? Im doubtful a simple 3day fast will do this job…? So how long of a fast? (5day, 7day, 9 day or even more…?) And how many fasts (quantity) (one wouldnt be succificient i assume)…?

Any research or - maybe even better - some personal or close friends/family results with this…? (skin issues like acne scars, wrinkles, or other general skin (face) issues)…?

​

Thank you

The answer is yes. It helps. For mine it took about 30 days of intermittent fasting to see a difference. I was a skin picker and constantly caused myself scars that have begun to disappear. HOWEVER, since I have been fasting, I’ve also noticed I’m breaking out more. I used to break out after eating certain foods and I am guessing that as I’m burning fat some of that stuff is coming out again

Happy new year! I am current on day 5 of a water only fast and my skin noticeably less oily and I have less blackheads and acne. Just smoother and clearer skin overall. I’m going to credit the fast, as I haven’t done anything different in my hygiene routine in the last 5 days. Best of luck to you!
