One Bad Sunburn?

22 April 2012 - 11:58 AM

I had to work outside all day yesterday. I got a pretty bad burn on my arms, neck, and face. I just recently got my acne in control and My face was pretty clear. I do have some faded red marks on my face from previous zits. My question is will this sunburn make my acne come back? And will it darken the red marks on my face? they have been fading for months, Hate to see them come back :(
Thank you in advance

Palm Oil?

04 April 2012 - 05:06 PM

Whats the relationship on palm oil and acne? I googled searched and everything and i can't find nothing on this. I eat a lot of peanut butter I'm bulking with weight training. No peanuts don't break me out been eating it for over 6 months with no problems. I was told since i eat so much peanut butter i should switch to natural PB because the normal has hydrogenated oils in it and are bad for overall health. So I grabbed some natty PB and it is made with palm oil. Should i be concerned? Normal peanut butter did not break me out what so ever.

Not Finding The Answer To My Questions

15 March 2012 - 02:55 PM

Basically I've been on a bulk diet the past 2-3 weeks. My acne has no changed in the slightest.
My diet:
eggs, lean meats, lots of veggies, fruits, breads, oatmeals, and rice of all types.
I workout 4 days a week in intense weight lifting.

What I'm trying to figure it out is if this weight lifting and diet was gonna change my acne would i have seen a change by now? I've heard some people say it takes months to show. Am I setting myself up for failure 3 or more months down the road?

I'm 22, I had acne since i was 13 but it was never bad and my diet never seemed to do anything that i can remember(that was a long time ago) I recently about 6 months ago got horrible cystic acne, I have no idea what caused it or set it off. It just came. I got it cleared up with a red marks left behind now. I'm just concerned that after I'm finally clear that this new regime i'm doing is gonna hurt me.

Should in know by now if weight lifting or diet will give me breakouts? Bulking for 2-3 weeks, been working out for 2 months approx.

Really Take 6 Months?

11 March 2012 - 11:20 AM

So I had bad cystic acne like about 6 months ago in september, around my temples. IDK what happened, IDK what set it off. But it was the worse breakout of my life(22 at the time). Anyway that is all cleared up with a few red marks left behind by my temples. My skin is fairly clear now with a few spots here and there.
Anyway my question: I've been weight lifting for about 8-9 weeks now(hasnt caused any problems) and i've been trying to bulk for about 3 weeks now on a strict diet, again hasn't caused a problem. But i read somewhere that diet changes take 3-6 months to show a real effect in acne on the skin. Should i be concerned that I'm fine now and continue bulking and then 3 months down the road start to break out badly?
My diet:
eggs
3 servings of fruit daily
LOTS of Veggies
Lots of turkey, chicken, some lean ground beef
rice(brown and white)
Beans(black, kidney, baked)
peanut butter(about 1-2 tblspoon a day)
Granola(not everyday but atleast every other day)
Occasionally Whole wheat bread, and oatmeal(kinda a rarity, but i don't think bread has ever caused me to break out)
LOTS OF WATER
Multivitamins
fish oil supplements
NO I REPEAT NO Protien shakes or weight gainers(I get all my protien from whole food sources.

Oatmeal And Whole Grains?

19 February 2012 - 03:28 PM

So I have had minor acne all my life and last year i broke out bad in cystic acne around my side burns and sides of my eye, with a little on forehead. Regardless that is a thing of the past, its all cleared up and left some red marks. I'm not to worried bout it. Not sure what causes it either. Anyway I recently started getting pretty intense in diet and excercise and muscle building. I decided to change my diet a little for maximum results. My diet includes: Lean meats(chicken, turkey), Fruits, Veggies, and of course Whole grains.

My question is simple. should i try to avoid the whole grains? I did some research and their is like a 50% spread on whether whole-grains is linked to acne. Some websites insist its good for your acne, while others put this in a top 5 food to avoid. I just enjoyed a nice little bowl of oatmeal and 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. And now because i'm a paranoid pete, and searched the internet I'm freaking out that i'm gonna have a cystic repeat like i did last year and this being the week of my bday!
