Man, I am such an ass. I had rough skin around my nose so I decided to use a bit of my old Queen Helene's Mint Julip Mask. I had some extra so I spread it to my cheeks. I let it dry and then washed it off, and while I was washing I felt my face... clogged pores galore. :doh: About 6 of them, a couple of big ones too. I thought masks were non comedogenic. And oddly there is only a little left meaning I've already used the whole thing up before. Damnitttt. 🙁 :wall: I guess another week's setback. Sigh.

Lesson of the day: Don't use shit that you don't know what it can do. Be safe, use simple and safe products or you may be prepared to suffer.

That particular mask is noncomedogenic, though everything else in the Queen Helene line is trouble. The Mint Julip mask is Kaolin and Bentonite clay based - Bentonite is THE most absorbent clay on earth. It is also known by the name 'Fuller's Earth' - a 'fuller' is someone who sheers sheep, they used the clay to absorb the oil on the floor and keep themselves from slipping. The oil they are absorbing is Lanolin, the most chemically similar oil to our own. Hence it's growth in the cosmetics industry. It is also used in cat litter, and garages. It is a rather harsh treatment, most skin will not tolerate it. The reason you felt clogged pores is because it absorbed the oil in your skin, and pulled it to the surface. Clay masks have an IB - regular use will diminish post-application break-outs, but intermittent use will intensify them. I have a tube still, ocassionally I'll mix it half with water and use it as a wash to remove excess oil - never as a mask though.

 

You may be absolutely correct! Do you think that it help extract all the impurities from within the surface that was eventually bound to either come up or subside? It's quite a possibility. It was startling never the less to feel so many bumps. One other thing I did was add aspirin to it (3 of them) and then I also just splashed warm water. Should I wash before applying the mask?

I used the clay mask by them a few months back and something similar happened, but it's so hard to tell. Thank you for your help :)!

 

I haven't decided if it's worth it or not, lol. It pisses me off, so don't use them. You can wash first, it'll help the sulfur penetrate more thoroughly, and it will absorb oil more deeply. I'd make it a priority to wash afterward, then balance (toner). You want to make sure remove any impurities pulled to the surface, then re-establish your Ph - 2 aspirin dissolved in a tablespoon of water and rubbed around oughta do it 😉

so i stopped taking GTE on Monday, but must admit that my skin is worse off now. don't know if there is any correlation. my forehead has small little bumps, while i'm breaking out in white heads around my mouth and nose, huh?

Were you breaking out at all while you were on course with both of them?

Try this, to see if it was so, cut fish oil and just take green tea, if that works for you stay on it. Omega 3 levels take a while to build in your blood stream/body so the reason why we stop is so we can build it faster, so right now you probably will break out but in the long run you won't. Just experiment, but if you broke out with both anyway, then there is no real causation that stopping it was the reason. Just be sure to think exactly how it was before and after, stopping green tea will open a door to allow more omega 3 to enter, but green tea itself is also good for regulating hormones. But in time omega 3 will be better since it controls it completely.

You are the best judge for your own body on what's happening, so keep experimenting and keep us updated. :think:

to scared to go cold turkey on the O3, maybe just diet or something, it was better last week though. what else can majorly interfere with O3 absorption?

What's your diet like?

Also, what's your cleansing regimen? I noticed how if we don't clean properly, we can still break out. It's always the smallest, least likely part of our regimen, that creates the most havoc. For example, every day I used to have this dry weird film on the side of my nose. Nothing added up then I realized that even though my cleansers felt great, they weren't really cleaning. One left a film on my face.. so within a few hours I'd get nose plugs! And some parts of my face would clog up too. And also because my moisturizer wasn't good enough, it was on the dry side (just aloe vera gel and a little bit of cetaphil. After switching to 100% cetaphil after washing, it's made a biiiig difference. No flakies! And no greasy film. So think about it, even not exfoliating properly could do that, so it's not just your internal regimen. :think: Think deep, is there anything else you added too?

Thanks granayla-gator! (since you love granola and all) Great ideas. I also have this facial steamer, maybe that would be a good replacement for masks as well :think:

use organic cleanser and cream. have noticed the cetaphil at pharmacy, not yet tried it, will get some tomorrow. diet include quinoa, oats, rye, fish, chicken and eggs only over weekends.

i feel the same way about the paleo diet. actually im real strict about the gi now, very very low gi/gl which permits little fruit as insulin theoretically is the major player in acne.things are looking good now.

Hey Autonomous,

How long have you been doing the full paleo diet? i.e. no bread, pasta, potatoes (i count those as the most important to not eat)

Modern fruits are grown to be very sweet, therefore their sugar content is pretty high.

I'm not yet at a stage where i want to omit them.

For now i am omitting bread, pasta, potatoes and dairy products (of course i never eat sugary things anyway) and drinking plenty of water.

Good luck to you.

My face is doing great. You know that thread in the emo/psych forum about how you feel about your face on a 1-10 scale? I think ill be like a 9.5 by Monday. Once I started exfoliating with baking powder along with the topical ACV for scars and red marks they have been fading incredibly.

Still doing 10 pills a day...still having a tspn or two of ACV in water every day.

Im curious to see whats gonna happen with my oil production though. I seem to have gotten all of the rosehip oil out of my face, so im good in that department. Today though, I had an incredibly low amount of excess oil, by my standards. Ive noticed this had been kinda irregular while ive been on fish oil, but this seems to be by far the least excess oil ive had. If this keeps up(which im not counting on, lol, thatd be too good to be true) ill be just...wow...thrilled.

Oh and I finally went back and checked and ive been doing this for 2 months, 7 days now. Seems a lot longer than that though. Im anxious to see what my results are at 3 months

hey people, how long should I give the O-3 supplement?

I've been taken 3 pills a day for 4 days now and I think my skin is worse.

However it is always difficult to tell what is the result of what.

I plan to continue for at least another week.

also, am I taken a good dosage amount?

is this an okay brand?

Nature Made

1200mg soft gels

EPA 216

DHA 144

I take 1 pill 3x daily (after each meal).

up that 3-4 pills 3x a day and give it a month

Luigi - longer than that for sure - and to be honest, the EPA/DHA is very low in those pills - especially considering you are only taking 3 per day. That's less than 1 gram EPA/DHA total - most of us are taking around 4 grams of Omega 3 daily. I'd consider changing brands and drastically upping the dose. The idea is to balance it 1:1 with your intake of Omega 6's. You can check them at http:www.nutritiondata.com - just enter the foods in your daily diet and read the Omega information given - tally up an entire days diet of total O6 and O3 intake - then balance the O6 and O3 so they are equal. It sounds like a lot, I know - it's worth it.

Yup. OD ON O3 LIKE ITS CRACK!

:drool:

Add up the amounts of EPA and DHA, so that your daily intake comes out to about 3-4grams.

For example, the pills I take have:

180 EPA

120 DHA

That equals 300mg of Omega 3 in one pill. I take 12 pills a day (3pills 4 times daily).

12 * 300mg = 3.6g of Omega 3.

Don't jump to 3-4 grams right away, do it overtime. Increase your dose by a pill a two, give it a few days to a week, then increase some more, that way its more natural for your body.

Hey, I'd just like to check if anyone else has been making progress. I've been on 2.7 grams for almost a week now, and have noticed no improvements. For all week I've been religiously taking them, and I've had to consider if my diet was wrong. I've eaten plenty of fruits, sometimes maybe too much, 2 servings for lunch and dinner. They're usually apples, oranges or watermelons. Could they somehow be negating the amount of fat I'm actually absorbing from the fish oil?

Give it about 3 weeks. Your body needs time to build up its supply of Omega3 so that it can then fight inflamation better. Don't expect it to cure your acne over night, it takes time. You should start seeing minimal improvements in about 3-6 weeks, but it takes around 3 months to REALLY start seeing the benefits according to NDNROMEO.

PS: Since you've been on 2.7 grams for a week now, its time to increase. You eventually want to be taking 3-4 grams daily. So until you reach that dose, increase by a few pills every few days to a week.

obviously Im new to all this. Can someone explain why my O-3s are 1200mg but only have 216 EPA and 144 DHA?

does it matter that they are softgels?

what is the remaining 800mg?

Brand is Nature Made only brand my costco carries.

bottle recommends 2-4 pills a day.

what is the most recommend brand on this board?

thanks fellas

Thanks, but as for my question, could it be the case of the citrus fruits burning away the fats before they could be absorbed?

wait, I got it.

I feel like an ass for having been on green tea for 7 weeks! But it's okay, I didn't know better and at least the good side is I can tell people to avoid it since it really prevents it. It's been about a week and a couple of days, and I stopped producing excess oil. This is unbelievable. I went 12 hours without blotting. When it was time to wash I felt my face and there was a littttle bit, so little that I said. What the heck, why wash? So I just splashed some cool water and that's that. I have never done that since I've had acne. Never.

God I hope I don't wake up to regret that. But I feel fine, let's hope tomorrow morning nothing bad happens. My omega levels are building solid, I know it. I just hope it's not a coincidence, I highly doubt it since it's been a continual and gradual change, but noticeable in the past, well, since I stopped g.t.

So that's my update.

wait, I got it.

360 mg of omega 3 per pill is what it works out to. Hope that helps. 🙂

You can either get member's mark, carlson, kirkland, walmart brand, any walgreens/cvs brand, nordic naturals. They are the ones people in this thread use. I use member's mark because it's cheap and does a good job. a good liquid version is carlson's.

Hope that helps.

Oh, and omega 3 levels take a minimum of 2 to 3 months to build up. The few sources I looked into say either 2 months, or between 3 to 6 months. But since we are building up high, and fast, it should be closer to the lower end of the time span. Also depending on the severity of your acne, it fluctuates per person. Also depending on how strict you are with your diet. avoiding high omega 6 foods will prove faster results.

Hm, I eat apples with mine, because it has pectin and I hear it's good for absorbtion I think. Either way, I don't depend on them but it should be fine with it. Just try to take in a source of fat while taking in fish oil, just a little bit, it would help absorb it better.

And no, one week is nothing, you'll need time. And eventually higher amounts.

Just curious, how bad was your acne prior to getting on the Fish Oils?

And also, what do you use to cleanse/hydrate now that you have had so much success with Fish Oils? Seems like you don't have to do much now..

Ive just started DKR about a week ago as well as the FISH OIL Pills. I'm now up to 3.3-3.6 grams daily.

Would you recommend getting off the DKR in about 3 months or so once I start seeing the full potential of the FISH OILS?

My acne seems to be under control for the most part with the DKR, but I have combination skin which gets really dry/flaky from the BP then OILY a few hours later, it would be great to not worry about all of that once my oil production levels balance out from taking FISH OIL pills.

I've had acne for about 8 years. I've pretty much tried everything besides accutane. It's honestly not on the severe side, but at one point in time it was almost moderate. After making diet changes, it went to mild for another 3 years. But my skin was always really red, extremely oily, and dry at the same time. It always hurt, and I got new zits on a daily basis. It started getting worse as time went on. I had scalp acne, back acne, chest acne, and face of course. But it was more so a whole skin issue than just acne. The whole blotchy, red irritated dry and oily skin. Not sure whether to wash, or moisturize. Really embarrasing :(. Now it's getting really even and nice.

I tried DKR for 6 months so I don't blame you for staying on it (I've tried every crazy thing you can imagine!), because it did help me to a certain extent. But never got rid of it for me. I'm still in a dilema about cleansing, so I will get back to you on that. I will definitely stay with just cetaphil only now, that my skin doesn't get so oily and it just sinks in after washing. But before I would have just laughed at the greasy lotion.

I remember being on the dkr, that within hours I would get oily because the BP is a pro oxidant and irritates skin like no other, so you can see how that works. It was just like yourself. I got off of it from anger then I came here to keep looking for a solution.

Ok sorry for going on and on, I guess basically you can keep staying on it (since it's your safety net), but eventually within a few months, you may want to try weening yourself off of it slowly and seeing how your true skin is doing. More than likely, it will subside if it really does work, and then you can stop the BP and let your skin heal and what not.

How bad is your acne right now? :think:

You pretty much described it word for word.

" But my skin was always really red, extremely oily, and dry at the same time. It always hurt, and I got new zits on a daily basis. It started getting worse as time went on. I had scalp acne, back acne, chest acne, and face of course. But it was more so a whole skin issue than just acne. The whole blotchy, red irritated dry and oily skin. Not sure whether to wash, or moisturize. Really embarrasing."

I've been using Proactive for the past few years, and my acne has been moderate to mild. However I broke out pretty bad within a week of getting off Proactive. That is when I got on Dan's Regime, and have been pretty clear for the past 1-1/2 weeks. Maybe 1 or 2 pimples active. However, just like you said, its not so much the acne as it is the whole skin issue. I have combination skin, and it gets extreemly dry and oily. Irriated and red. And that can make you feel pretty self concious even if your face isnt broken out with zits.

That is why I'm so interested in the Fish Oils and hope that it can indeed balance oil production and even out my skin tone.

Only time will tell.

Hopefully in about 3 months it will be more safe to get off DKR and see how well the Fish Oils hold up.

Does fish oil help in healing redmarks and scars? What's your experience on this Romeo? Do you have redmarks/scars on your face?

I'm trying to find a direct source that says something like "yes, omega 3 helps with blemishes" but since I cannot find any, I will have to answer with logic. Here, read this:

EFA Functions: "EFAs are involved with producing life energy in our bodies from food substances, and moving that energy throughout our systems. They govern growth, vitality, and mental state. They hook up oxygen, electron transport, and energy in the process of oxidation. Oxidation, the central and most important moment-to-moment living process in our body, is the `burning' of food to produce the energy required for life processes." EFAs are also important in oxygen transfer, hemoglobin production, and control of nutrients through cell membranes. They markedly shorten recovery time from fatigue. And EFAs are also key in preventing damage from hard fats. EFAs are anti-sticky and tend to disperse them. EFAs play a part in almost every function of our body, far too many to list here.

Basically, yes, it promotes healing very well. But the time frame is still relatively long that you may not realize it. But it does increase it. Say for example: exercise. It's great, and has been proven to speed up healing immensely. But it's relatively true, instead of 30 some odd days, it shortens to 20 some odd days. So it's not too noticable in the same regard, but it does. But obviously, it will be after your levels build up :).

I say that the best thing for blemishes is the acv/lemon juice+water toner along with this.

hope it helps a little :think:
