This doesn't make sense...

We all see people who break every rule imaginable. I'm 21 and I know plenty of guys that my age that drink massively, smoke, do various drugs (weed, vicodene, oxycotone), get very little sleep from all the parties, live off pizza, mcdonalds and taco bell, don't exercise what so ever, hardly care for their skin in anyway, and yet they have flawless skin. I don't think they necessarily have negative thoughts but they sure as hell don't have any positive ones. They are just as stressed out as the next person with school, girls and day to day stress. So, how do they have flawless skin?

Should our goal as people that suffer from acne be living a life where we are practically slaves to "acne." Meaning that we are constantly living with acne or in a constant state of making sure that every thing is "clicking" in our quest for clear skin. Positive thinking, check. Healthy diet, check. Exercise, check....

Yes doing all those things will benefit our over all health and our health in the long run but what I want to know is how do I get my body to function like these people that break every health rule?

How do I get my body to allow for clear skin even when I treat it horribly. I think that's the key because then you could only imagine what we would be capable of if we did all the healthy acne fighting things we do now (healthy diet, yoga, meditation, exercise, positive thinking...). We would be unstoppable... in a sense.

That's the flaw I see in all of this. What allows these outliers to seemingly live a pro acne lifestyle yet not have acne. How do we get our bodies to not allow acne to form even when breaking all the rules?

Good point but it doesn't many anything I've said invalid. We are all individuals and react differently. Not everyone who smokes get lung cancer, but you'd be foolish to point to them and say smoking is safe. I made the point on this article:

If diet causes acne then why my friend who eats the unhealthiest diet doesn't get acne, but I do?

If you are genetically prone to get acne there's nothing you can do about it.

And why would you even want to be able to abuse your body? Overall living a healthy life makes me feel so much better that I don't even want to eat crap anymore - even if it wouldn't give me acne. It just makes me feel so bad.

Yes, it takes little effort to build healthy lifestyle, but it's easily worth it.
