Im very glad to read that youre happy with the condition of your skin at present, however never believe that you will never have clear skin.

Youve taken some promising steps, however I would confidently hypothesise that sugar is your biggest enemy, with regard to your skin and wider health. Its often unknown that certain sugars are actually processed by the liver, following much the same process as ethanol (alcohol)elimination. Unfortunately, when consumed in large amounts (for arguments sake >15g/day), this overloads the ability of the body (liver) to efficiently process the sugar, thereby respirating to a secondary process.

Akin, to aerobic vs anaerobic respiration, with respect to exercise, this secondary process of sugar (fructose) elimination, like anaerobic respiration, products less than ideal waste products,some would say toxins; your body then has to eliminate these waste products. When your body is dealing with increased waste products, while it can do it (we are fascinating creatures), they throw of natural homeostasis/balance. The effect of this is unwanted effects, acne being a potential effect.

Im not saying that you should radically change your diet/lifestyle, but any change for the better with continually improve your skin. I will, however make a few suggestions that should be easy for you to incorporate.

First, drop the Yakult; Yakult is to probiotic as Powerade is to electrolytes. Yes, they contain something good, packaged up with something bad to make it more appealing to the consumer. Fructose (processed) its your enemy (let me know if youd like me to elaborate on that; Im NOT telling you to avoid fruit), and look at the ingredients on your Yakult... just use a good quality capsule probiotic, and if youd like to mix it up, have a kombutcha every so often. You are paying way more that you need to be for probiotics by purchasing Yakult.

On to VEGETABLES (not just greens - first point), fresh is best. But if you can only manage frozen, continue what youre doing, but make sure you include orange (colour) in with your greens as a minimum.

Lastly, there is so much marketing BS surrounding acne, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, supplements and foods that its hard for everyday people to know what to do. I damn near had a meltdown when I first started researching the optimal human diet. Trust me, after hundreds of hours reading reputable literature and documentation I almost came to the conclusion that I cant eat anything without doing harm to my body, so to surmise my experience with diet research, fruit and vegetables are your top priorities. Greens are usually hardest for people to incorporatebut also most beneficial. Everything is about balance.. not too much or too little of anything (yes, you can eat too much spinach). Most people are deficient in omega-3 (documented in MANY journal articles), whilst a supplement is good, increasing fatty fish intake will almost alway improve a persons health, very much so when skin conditions are experienced. Eat as natural as you can; processing foods increases the rate of absorption, motility, spike effects, etc, which is rarely a good thing. Finally, sugar isnt the devil; what sugars and how you consume them is the major factor.

Ps. Always remember that acne is multifactorial and,whilst you can see improvements by making incremental changes, youll never cure it until you look at the condition and your body holistically (diet, exercise, lifestyle factors, care regimen, environment,etc, etc, etc).

I just noticed on another thread that you feel the biggest thing you want to change is redness. Assume that he redness is wholly acne related then its inflammation. Inflammation is a natural response to something foreign, be it something obvious, like a blocked pore, or less conspicuous, like increased toxins/waste products. Whilst some foods can exacerbate an inflammatory response, they generally dont cause one (unless an allergy). Meaning certain foods wont typically CAUSE acne inflammation, rather support it. This is why people say dairy is bad, because some of the proteins pro inflammatory. Again, this is only worsening whats already in progress, meaning that the people who respond well to eliminating dairy still have other factors to consider in their journey to kicking acne.
