Can Drinking Kombucha Get Rid of Acne?We put the theory to the test |

I spent a lot of time (and money) testing out all the "best" skin care. The girls at Sephora knew me by name, because I'd stop in just about every month to complain that the product they recommended last month didn't do anything for my acne. I used to get so frustrated when my mom would tell me, "Stop using so much different stuff on your face!" and me responding, "But I'm a beauty writer, mom!"
It finally came to a point about a year ago that I realized that maybe my skin care routine wasn't the problem. I knew that I was using good products, so why the heck was I still breaking out? I mostly experienced angry, cystic pimples that hid under the skin -- usually until an important day -- then they'd come out to play (and embarrass the sh*t out of me).
That's when I came across an article that spoke about how much what you take into your body has to do with the things you see outside your body. I scoffed it off mainly because I knew that I ate like a 12-year-old (and couldn't even think about having to cut myself off of pizza and macaroni and cheese). In the back of my mind I could help but think, could this really be the issue?
