My routine has been changed drastically (for the better) by my naturopathic. I gave up the western docs and went to see a naturopathic to resolve some other issues. Well, low and behold, my face got cleared up and stays cleared up along the way!

Here's what he recommended:
reduce sugar (I rarely have sugar now)
little to no dairy
no red meat
lots of veggies and fish

I have few to no pimples during the entire time that I've been following this regime, which is going 3 months or so now. I wash with whatever, even regular soap, I use no astringent/toner and sometimes am bad and don't wear a moisturizer (so i don't get the spf protection). still, no dark spot recurrence.

i now believe people when they say that one's beauty regime starts from within.

ETA: Even before I started going to him, I realized that when I drank soda, I got at least one pimple in 2 days, like clockwork. Hope that helps someone.
