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.
