The first pic is from when I was avoiding all of the foods I am allergic to and going out in the sun regularly (I don't get real tan). Summer 06. I am making a pretty dumb face, it is almost as bad as having acne.

Also from summer of 06, it is in black an white so it is hard to tell, but there is no acne.

This picture is from February of 07. I had been eating foods I am allergic to and there is some noticable acne. It is kind of hard to tell in the picture because it is not a real close-up, but you can still see it.

These are from today. I had been eating shitty for a while, and have just recently gone back to a Paleo like-diet. There are 2 or 3 pimples and a few redmarks, it is not looking real bad, but hopefully going back to paleo and avoiding the foods I am allergic to will bring back the completely clear skin again.

I don't really have any pictures of my skin from when I did the Paleo diet seriously from last spring and over the summer, so that is why I took the ones today to show the results in a few weeks or months now that I am back doing it.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my skin was pretty much completely clear for a while over the summer while I was eating Paleo, but I have no pictures from that time.

Overall you have pretty nice skin ! Congrats! And thanks for sharing with us. perhaps one day when I get the courage to post the really 'down' times I've had I will post them as well. But that is of course if I ever get to have pretty decent skin over a long period of time.

I would definitely say overall your skin tone is nice too, no noticable scars as well, maintained exceptionally.

Thanks. Yeah, I never get any really huge pimples and don't have any scars from acne. I have a scar on my chin from a table that was leaning on a wall fell on me over the summer, but I am pretty sure you can't see it in the pics. The scar actually looks like a pimple, but it is on the bottom of my chin so it is not so terribly noticeable.

Haha that first pic is hilarious .

Good lookin' skin, it looks like your acne is very mild right now.

This is really really mild acne

Good luck on the paleo...

Yeah, like I said, it is not looking bad right now. I have never had severe acne, the worst it has ever been is mild-moderate. I have had one cyst ever and it did not scar. I am pretty confident that going Paleo again is gonna get rid of my acne comepletely. If I had a better camera I would have taken real close-ups, but I don't so it does not matter.

Wow! Amazing what a decent hair cut and a bit of weight loss does! You're a good looking guy.

Oh yeah, your acne...wait, what acne? You've done well

[Ambrosius]

Yeah, congrats! All I would say is that if that is how you look after eating shitty for a while then I envy you.
