I'm not sure what it is in the states but here in the UK you can find work though recruitment agencies. I'm just wondering if you can try that instead, sometimes depending on the job role, you don't have to have an interview. Most agencies aren't interested in your acne, they're more concerned with filling quotas and receiving commission from finding you some work. You could always explore that avenue if it is available for you and goodluck!

I think everybody knows that diet attributes to acne, poor eating habits can cause hormones to flucatuate, which can worsen acne. However, those food habits only worsen acne and I don't beleive it is the root cause of acne for most people. I've tried various adaptions and omissions and my skin has been clear at both points (eating healthy and eating healthy with abit of refined food). I don't know what the cause is of my acne, but I have noticed that my acne has worsened with age. I'm currently invesitigating hormonal treatments, as I have a strong feeling that my hormones are unbalanced. In the meantime, I will as always continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle for the sake of longevity/well-being more so than acne.

I took B5 periodically throughout my ongoing battle with acne. Granted, it works to control your acne (to a certain extent) but I found myself constantly hungry all the time, which become unbearable. This insatible hunger left me with no choice but to quit, I don't recall experiencing any hairloss, but my hair is quite thick.

I started taking supplement vitamin D3 after reading all the positive reviews about it. I experienced the worst breakout ever when taking it (all over my face), when being the operative word since I no longer take it. I stopped taking it almost a week ago and my facial acne is slowly subsiding. My body acne is still there though. I'm under the impression that I was probably enduring the intial breakout, but from the posts that I read on here, no one had an IB, quite the contrary actually.  Prehaps I should have persevered with the tablets, but I couldn't bare the thought of being the new girl, with extremely bad acne (just started a new corporate position).

I tried baking soda for my chest acne. It's only been 2 days, but already I notice a difference. I say it's worth a try. I bought the baking soda at the dollar store, so it's cheaper than anything else out there.

If you're interested in trying it, this is what I did:
Mix baking soda with a little bit of warm water. It should be a little pasty/watery. Apply on affected area with swab stick. When it dries, it'll feel gritty which is the only sucky part.

The baking soda method has gone completely over my head I totally forgot about it. I'll try it on a chest acne tonight, eurgh body acne is awful. I can't remember the last time I worn a V neck shirt. I'm so close to trying spiro it's my last resort, tried accutane and didn't like the side effects plus my acne is mild (persistent) right now.
