You may want to try liquid vitamin D3 on your face instead of olive oil. I've been using D3 mixed with A and it's the best thing I have ever used, no diet changes at all.

I wouldn't recommend loading up on beans. Eating beans was what took me down after a period of having clear skin for almost a year. I thought I was safe and started eating a lot of beans and they damaged my gut over time and now I'm still trying to get clear again (It's been 3-4 months without beans now). Beans contain something that damages the digestive track and can make it begin to leak again. Since you're doing water kefir, I assume working on healing your gut is important to you. I bet if you stick to the paleo diet entirely (no beans, no grains) you will see the improvement.

Relatively off topic, but all of that avocado and fish sounds delicious.

You may be onto something with the blood sugar. Carrots won't cause too much of a spike unless they are baked but apples will. I would add something like chromium picolinate to your diet or ALA- and cut out some of the beans- the paleo solution doesn't even allow beans. Also what is water kefir? And between the eyes according to Chinese medicine corresponds with the liver. Do you smoke or drink?

I agree with dejaclairevoyant, I would start by experimenting with the beans first. Then you can look into the coconut oil, then the apples/carrots if you really have a sneaking suspicion. If you're worried about spiking blood sugar levels then you can try substituting with berries.

Hi, how did your face look before you noticed a difference? Do you use chapstick/lip balm? I noticed I always broke out on my chin when I did use any kind of lip balm. I stopped, and I no longer have any break outs in that area.

Have you tried juicing everyday? I think that might help. Cucumbers, carrots, celery, beets, and leafy greens twice a day with your probiotics might be something you should look into.

Thanks for ALL the great answers.

It will be very hard to cut out all the beans and lentils since i don't eat, dairy,sugar,gluten and only fish. The acne between the eyebrows is definatly too strenous excersise or too much raw garlic (i think its too much garlic). Since i only break out around my chinarea i have a feeling that its something with my hormones. I keep my blood sugar very low, but then again, i eat lot of carrots and apples, maybe it spikes the blood sugar and starts the insulin and so on..... I will try to cut out the carrots and apples and see how that works. Its the final step i need to get 100% clear i would say i am 98-99%.

If eating the beans was the problem i would have acne all over my face because i eat it pretty much every day. But i will definately cut back on it if it causes digestion problems in the long run.THanks for info

To answer the other question:

- I don't think acne for me is a topical problem so changing my very simple regimen which i love will not clear me 100%.

- I use to have lot of acne everywhere else than the cheeks which i am forever thankful for! I went from bad acne to almost clear i would say 90% in 1 mounth by fasting, changing diet, drinking a gallon of water everyday and keeping my skin clean, everyday when i wake up i can see my skin gets better because i live so fucking healthy. But i still get small pimples on my chin which pisses me off, and yes i want to be all clear like in the good old days!

I don't really agree with this. For me, eating certain foods I am allergic to will break me out only on my chin.

But so will too many carbs... even from fruit, but especially raw fruit. Boiled fruit is safer for me as boiling reduces the sugar content.

Thanks for the answer. I don't think i have food allergies for beans. Since i made this thread i cut out apples and carrots and have not had any new breakouts and the once i had are gone. What could my acne cause be??
