How I Cured My Acne

Hi everyone!

 

I feel like I have a moral obligation to write this post.

 

I've been suffering from acne practically all my life. My mother regularly comments on how I had blackheads on my nose as a baby.

 

My acne has really never been severe, but I've always had blackheads, whiteheads, papules. I would say it was pretty moderate.

 

The first time I went on accutane, I was 12. I'm 21 now and I've been on it another 3 times. So a whopping 4 times over the last 10 years. It makes me pretty disappointed in doctors who so easily prescribe this drug.

 

Anyways, I need perfect skin. I'm a model, and my livelyhood depends on it. Last year after I lived in London for the summer for modelling, I came back to Cape Town and my skin just freaked out. It was so perfect in London. I think it was the humidity during the summer there. Anyway, when I got back, my skin hurt, it was itchy, red and very sore.

 

One morning I decided to go to dermalogica to get a facemapping. The amazing facialist prescribed the ultracalming range to me, and literally in a week my skin was perfect again. She also mentioned to me, that I never should have been out on accutane. It actually made my skin worse, cos now I have sensitization and react to the slightest changes in my environment.

 

So for about 6 months my skin was perfect. But about 3 months ago after a breakup my skin just freaked out. My brother who is a nutritionist recommended that I start eating oysters and beef or lamb liver each week. I was like yeah yeah whatever.

 

But I got desperate about 2 weeks ago, and started trying it out. And my god, I could see an improvement overnight.

 

You see, liver has the highest concentration of Vitamin A in nature. And what is Accutane essentially? A synthetic form of Vit A. Vit D is also prevalent in it. And as for oysters, there is copper and zinc in it, both acne fighting minerals.

 

So guys, give it a chance. I can't recommend it enough. I know liver is pretty gross for most people, but the benefits are unrivalled. I tend to freeze my liver and each day I cut up a few pieces and swallow it like a pill. (I know I know). But damn, it works.

Beef liver - better and cheaper than drugs. The list of tretinione side effects is as long as my arm. Who ever heard of anyone getting side effects from eating liver? High in B3 to which stops you getting red scally skin on your scalp - a problem itchy and unsightly if you are bald. Why was I prescribed costly drugs but my vitamin levels were never tested? Who makes Accutane and how many doctors do they sponsor to go to conferences in fancy places....Big liver just can't compete with big pharma.
