There is a lot of hype around berries at the moment and it comes as no surprise when there are celebrities right, left and center using them for the benefits they can produce. Not only does the maqui berry contain vitamins like A and C as well as minerals such as iron and potassium etc but the most impressive thing about the maqui berry is the fact it contains more anti-oidanrts than blueberries, goji berries and even acai berries. Anti-oxidant have many benefits on the body some of which include slowing down the ageing process, eliminating free radicals and can even help with acne.
Even tho the hype around maqui berry is very recent, it has been used as a food and medicine by the Mapuche Indians for centuries in South and Central Chile. And it is only now the West are catching on to how powerful this superfruit can be for curring aliments and improving over-all health and vitality.
My story with using maqui for clearing my acne actually happened by accident. I originally purchased the berry to help with weight loss, which it did to some degree, and as a side effect it also had an effect on my acne which will be listed further down with the routine I used after realizing the maqui berry extract was working to help clear my acne more than weight loss. The routine is a 5 step process that cleared my acne around 90ter 30 days. The routine must be followed exactly to receive the same benefits I had received.
The Routine
1. Use a natural cleanser that has been specifically designed for acne prone skin. Use the cleanser twice a day morning and night washing off with lukewarm not hot water. Very important to stop existing acne getting aggravated.
2. After cleansing the face the next step is to drink 500 ml of water with 1 maqui berry supplement. You can also add lemon juice for extra benefits.
3. In the evening ad least 2 hours after eating take another maqui berry supplement with 500ml of water. No lemon juice added this time.
4. The final step is to keep active doing activities such as long walks, jog, cycling etc for at least 1 hour each day.
These are the 4 simple steps I followed when I discovered that maqui berry was helping with my acne, after doing the routine for 30 days my skin was as stated above around 90% more clear and my skin also had a nice glow to it.
