SKIN CARE - FOR THE BOYS
Are you ready for some unconventional advice that works wonders for your skin?
Here is the blueprint to having flawless skin as guy:
(🧵🧵)
First off, its important to remember that if your 15-18 y/o there’s a good chance you acne is strictly hormonal;
Your lifestyle likely isn’t the reason for bad skin, but you can still use these principles.
For all the boys 18 and older; if you have bad skin, whether it be acne, eczema, psoriasis, redness etc;
These are the top 3 things you can do to rid your body of all of them:
#1: SUNLIGHT
The most powerful tool to literally make acne disappear is heavy amounts (20 min) of sunlight at UV 6 or higher.
Don’t use sunscreen, don’t be afraid of the sun, a slight burn isn’t the end of the world; it will eradicate all acne, I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times.
Intense sun (20 + min) in a day for your front and back in UV6 or higher is the easiest way to clear up skin.
Don’t be afraid of the sun, we’ve coevolved with it for hundreds of thousands of years.
The sun doesn’t age your skin; poor habits do;
Use moisturizer after showering when you spend a ton of time outside in high UV’s.
#2: WALKING
Wait what? Walking? I thought we were talking about skin care?
We are.
One of the best things you can do for digestion is to walk, poor digestion is the number ONE cause of back acne.
By walking 10,000 steps per day you supercharge NEAT + DIGESTION eradicating back acne and improve energy expenditure vastly causing you to stay lean easier.
The lower percentage body fat your are = the less likely your body is to hold acne.
#3: ANIMAL BASED DIET + Fasting
This should be no surprise; but the diet that uses the most real food is the most beneficial to skin care.
Animal protein, raw dairy, eggs, fruit + honey, etc.
The elimination of refined carbohydrates, seed oils, plant defence chemicals, and artificial sweeteners will maximize gut flora leading to better skin.
Most people on animal based diets have a distinct tan/glow to their skin:
Because they are incredibly metabolically efficient.
Fasting clears out cells; in a regenerative fashion, along with lowering your glycemic index and insulin levels; leading to clearer skin.
This nutrition structure benefits #1 and #2 positively as well.
Use these three factors to clear up your skin, gain confidence, and become a better you.
Same you, but fastr.
