does weight loss reduce acne?
I am not developping an eating disorder just to get rid of my acne. But i just wanted to know does loosing weight get rid of acne? Its just that on some websites when you see people that have lost weight or that are skinny not a single one of those people has acne so that just made me wonder. I do know that a lot of underweight people have very dry skin but im not trying to be underweight and develop an eating disorder i just want to loose some weight :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
While adequate research hasn't been done to give a finite answer, some people believe that certain food play a part in acne. For me, I notice that when my diet goes south I start breaking out more (now whether this is correlation or causation, I'm not sure) as well as when I'm stressed. So perhaps those who are more fit and work out are able to reduce stress from exercising which plays a part in keeping their body healthy.
In addition, remember that a lot of those before and after pictures from weight loss companies aren't completely accurate. They purposely make the after picture look much better (notice how in the after pics the person is smiling and has better posture unlike the before picture). So I wouldn't rely too much on that. I would try other methods of reducing acne if I were you. Perhaps talk to your doctor on ways to also become healthier?

It's not so much about losing weight as it is how the person lost weight. (And keep in mind that pictures probably involve makeup and/or photoshop.) Eating healthier and drinking lots of water often makes a dramatic improbement to skin, and working out can give people a healthy glow.
