someone shed some light….
Hi Brittany,
Im sorry to hear you are feeling in despair with your breakouts. I
have just posted a reply to jennifers post which you may find
helpful, it details the ‘au naturelle’ route regarding acne clean up
techniques, like concentrating on your diet.
What diet do you have? How much fruit/vegetable juice and water do
you consume in a day. How frequent are your bowel movements? Stress
can bring on breakouts too, what has occured over the past six months
that maybe could contribute to your breakout?
I suffered terribly with acne for 13 years, became agoraphobic,
introverted, depressed, lost all motivation for life…all through
acne. I truly understand why you feel this despair. The ONLY method
that worked for me was to clean up my diet. Im a vegetarian and love
fruit and veg which helps. Consuming lots of spring water i found
hard but this has also helped alot. Jennifer stated that acne
indicates what is going on inside the body…this statement i
wholeheartedly agree with….i just wish it didnt take 13 years and
alot of scarring to discover it for myself.
Look into cleansing and detox…just give it a go…don’t disregard
it…you need to maintain a good diet for a month for effects to
show…in the long run you will save on medications that dont work
and possibly cause worse acne because they encourage more sebum to be
produced becasue they dry out the skin so much.
The stigma of acne being because of lack of hygiene really infuriates
me…i would scrub my face several times a day which made it worse!
If you want to know specific changes i made to my diet to help get
rid of my acne, i’ll be happy to help.
Warmest regards,
Bec.
