My skin is terrible. It's not just the acne, though I do have that. It is mottled and dull. I have deep shadows under my eyes. Wrinkles are spreading under my eyes and from the corners of my nose to my mouth. I don't (and never have) smoked, nor lived around smokers. I drink at least 2 liters of water a day. I'm a female in my early 20s, and I've got the skin of a nicotine and alcohol addict in their forties. What am I doing wrong? More treatment details inside. [more inside]

How can I get rid of facial cysts caused by blocked pores? Doctors claim it's moderate acne and prescribe everything under the sun, but nothing helps. Has anyone succeeded in treating them? Has anyone used cortisone shots, or sought hydroenema treatments to flush bacteria buildup from the body?
