If you are considering a detox diet as an alternative acne treatment, you should think twice about what you’re getting into. Thousands of doctors deny that a detox diet will have a positive effect on acne, rather, they make it clear that only a select few get good results, and these people are to be considered exceptions.

A detox diet has shown to improve acne in people who are typically overweight, and eat unhealthy foods for most meals in their routine. However, for the healthy individual that eats regularly and maintains an average weight, a detox diet will have the reverse effect on their acne.
