Nobody can say over-washing doesn't cause excess sebum to be secreted.

I used to cleanse excessively and my oil production was out if control. The minute I stopped, so did the oil.

I think some sebum has it's benefits, just not too much of it.

Egg whites are great. If I ever cook eggs and have an active spot, I dip my finger in the egg white and spot treat with it.

It's such a shame that you've ha to resort to using urine, but if it works for you, how can I question it?

Like others have said, it is probably the PH and the fact that it's antibacterial. They used urine in the world wars on wounded soldiers. It saved lives.

I personally couldn't do this. Especially sleeping without rinsing the pee off. Glad it's worked for some though.

Not too bad today. Recovering from a breakout. I tend to have a breakout and then have a few semi-clear days.

Waiting for my Paula's Choice samples to arrive (got a ton!), if they work I'm going to get the full sized products. Hoping the BHA is as great as the reviews make it sound!

People change their diets for all sorts of reasons. Some with IBS, some with leaky gut, some with liver problems and the list goes on. Eating unhealthy maybe won't give you any of those, the same as eating unhealthy wont give them acne.

We're all different. I personally struggle with diet and I cave in after about a week. I love my junk food!

All acnes are different too. Diet can work for some and not for others. I'm not sure what causes mine so I'm taking a more hands-on approach as of late (using new products...).
