Q: Chronic Constipation And Acne

Hi everyone.
About a year ago I started getting irritable bowel syndrome - constipation, ibs-c (sorry if this grosses u out!). Ever since, I started getting acne/blemishes when once I had a clear face! I didnt link the two until I did some research and found that chronic constipation can cause acne because waste is not being eliminated and hence toxins enter the blood stream at which point ur skin tries to eliminate the toxins, hence acne. Some ppl have agreed with this, others not.
I started drinking a lot more water which helped heaps but I still get a few blemishes at any one time. Ive tried many things to help my ibs-constipation but nothing has worked and I am accepting the fact that it may never improve.
But as for my blemish problem, I was wondering if there is anything I can take, eat, drink, or do to reduce toxins in my blood to eliminate the blemishes I still get completely?
