Scratch Test: See How Bad Your Acne Is

If you’ve ever wondered how bad your acne is (without looking in the mirror), here’s another way to test things out.

It’s a real easy test and it goes like this:

Step 1.) Scratch the top and back of your head
Step 2.) Look at stuff underneath your nails

That’s it!

RESULT

Here’s what you’re looking for: How much “gunk” do you have under your nails from scratching your head?

A LITTLE GUNK: If the answer is nothing (doesn’t count if you thoroughly washed your hair) then your acne condition may not be that severe. And with a little help from the right person, you should be able to cure it very easily.

A LOT OF GUNK: If the answer is a lot of stuff, then chances are your body is having a hard time shedding the dead skin or your pores are quite clogged.

EXPLANATION

This is because there are many pores on the top and back of your head. Even underneath your hair, there are pores (that’s where the hair comes out of) and it’s also where the excess sebum comes out of. So when you scratch your head, you get a good idea of the amount of dead skin cells and excess sebum is coming out of your pores.

And if there is a lot coming out, chances are that this is also causing a problem by clogging up your pores and causing acne.

MISTAKE

Here’s the mistake that most people make though. They think, “Okay, if the problem is that I have too many dead skin cells and sebum coming out of my pores, then I just need to do a good job getting rid of it right? Then I won’t have acne.”

So they scrub, exfoliate, wash and try to get rid of the dead skin cells on their face or wherever they have acne. And it works, for only a little bit.

Eventually, the acne comes back. Because you can’t scrub and get rid of EVERY single dead skin cell and you can’t unclog EVERY single pore.

Then, after a few days, the dead skin cells and the sebum comes back. And you have to repeat the process. Over and over again.

But you can never win this battle.

And nobody ever does.

HOW TO WIN

The right way to BEAT acne is not to attack it from the outside. You have to realize that by getting rid of the dead skin cells and sebum only TEMPORARILY solves the problem.

What you REALLY want is to make it so that your body’s skin oils balance out so you won’t have so much dead skin cells and you won’t be producing so much excess sebum (AKA curing deficiency) that keeps clogging your pores (AKA stopping toxicity).

Those are the 2 main causes of acne, deficiency and toxicity, and if you can even cure just one of them, then you’re home free and you will stop breaking out.  If you want to find out more about the 2 causes of acne, click the link below:
