Hey everyone. So I now decided to finally make a log of my before and after pics (I was mainly waiting to see if my skin really was better or if it was just a phase).
Attached I have a before and after pics of my skin, arround 1/2 years appart. It was a hard journey but you can never give up on it.
Before the two pictures I tried a lot of stuff from antibiotics to accutane. Nothing worked.
So I took the issue on my own hands:
- I changed my diet, mainly through elimination diets. Tried vegan, paleo and keto. The one that worked for me was a dairy-free low fodmap paleo diet (I know, long word).
- I changed my habits - stopped smoking, reduced alcohol intake and stopped drinking caffeine.
- Adopted a minimal skincare regimen. Only water (and moisturizer if I have any dry area).
- Only shower my hair and face every other day. Taking a full body shower everyday dries my skin way too much.
- And one that I think helped me a lot: went to a psychiatrist to deal with my anxiety and constantly high stress levels.
And this is the basics of it. If anyone has a specific question, feel free to ask 
>Oh, and I'm sorry I don't have more pics of the before, but at that time I avoided taking pics at all costs.
That's awesome!! I just want to say I literally have the same story - I tried everything from antibiotics to birth control to accutane. Then I finally cut out all the creams, stopped wearing foundation, and did an elimination diet. I fond out that dairy, meat and eggs all make me break out, so I'm basically vegan now. Elimination diets are awesome and they totally work!!
