Hey! So I'm checking while I am still clear. It seems as though once I am back "on" taking care of myself it becomes more of a lifestyle that I don't have to think about. I only occasionally find myse...

As promised, I wanted to check in while I am clear. I am clear. Yes, 2 weeks after the Breakout (capitalization intentional) I am back to my clear skin self. How’d I do it? Lifestyle. It sounds like a...

So since I got my breakout 2 weeks ago, I got about 6 active zits on my face. That were not “normal” small breakouts. I have this reoccurring pimple/cyst thing on my upper cheek that finally decided t...

Checking in whilst broken out in a cyst! Go me. I was clear leading up to this for MONTHS. And then blammo: big giant cyst under my eye. What happened is I took on this new project at work that cause...

It feels a lot worse than it looks. That's what I keep telling myself. After a year of having clear skin on my face, my shoulder on the right side was still broken out despite using the same routin...

Reading over my blog it really makes it seem like my skin is always bad. This is not true. For nearly a year I've been clear through: -DKR Regime (1 a day in the winter, twice in the summer, adjust...

Hey! So remember that Tea Tree Oil (TTO) soap I introduced into my regime. Ya. It broke me out. It cleared the couple pimples on my back. But then it gave me a red lump on my face. That went away. ...

I'm just reflecting on my acne a bit. The ups and downs. I sort of realize that the acne on my chin is almost identical to the acne on my shoulders. Both spread like wildfire when there's a breakou...

Honestly, I wanted to check in because I have been for the most part clear since January. Almost a year. I basically kept up the regime. And when my skin became oily, I made sure to pay special care t...

Doing something unusual: checking in while clear! Despite crazy stress and not a perfect diet, I maintained my anti acne habits and have been clear for over a month.

Its like a curse: everything that is the most effective for my skin always makes it worse before it gets better.   I've tried a similar homeopathic remedy: apple cider vinegar. It did not work f...

Epsom Salt I am writing about epsom salt as I feel it's greatly underrepresented online and a lot of the information out there doesn't reflect my skin type. So hopefully this will help someone. Abou...

GRAPES OF WRATH. The weather changed, and so did my skin. AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS: ACNE. I got FOUR WHITEHEADS, side by side, on the bottom of my chin. It was burning and felt like my skin was so oily....

I remember reading those pages, too, on acne.org. It was surprising to read that diet was brushed off so easily, and Dan himself has stated that he gave up milk, saw himself getting clear, but attribu...

Both of the huge puffy zits beside my nose bled like crazy last night. I woke up with blood all over my cheek! The swelling and redness has subsided. The rest of my face is clear. I can tell I am head...

Thanks for the reply! It's pretty crazy we live in this society where are all of our triggers are so easily accessible. I gave up alcohol almost 2 years ago. I have a problem that once I start somethi...

It's weird that I read this topic, I just started using them! I add them to my bath. It caused my skin to purge and it looks like a mess. It's been about a week and it's starting to clear. I don't k...

I'm an artist, and I absolutely cannot create when I have a cyst or a severe break out. It kind of just puts my life on hold. I can do physically demanding jobs, but when I have to tap into my creativ...

As someone who has a DOCTORATE degree and knows how to conduct research, let me tell you this: ACNE IS MULTIFACETED. Science can't explain ALL causes of acne. Don't exclude causes and don't make absol...

Note to self: check in on acne.org when I am clear. I am upset with my skin condition right now. Especially since I came off months of having great skin. I went through the Winter dodging plenty of bu...

I basically know what causes my acne, yet I continually fall off the train. My skin always gets better once I stick to what I know works for me. I am clear for months. Then I tell myself that I can sl...

Totally drinking "tumeric green tea" from bulk barn, feeling pretty good about it!

Canada doesn't put hormones in our milk: "Growth hormones to stimulate milk production are not approved for sale or permitted for use in Canada." Source: Either way, I cut out milk and have seen ama...

I found my last post to be pretty unclear. I was clear for months and then I broke out. What led to the breakout: 1) Stress from work Work has been insane. New projects, new employees, all very stres...
