i removed dairy for 3 weeks as a trial, during that time my skin still sucked (i have inflammed hormonal acne on my chin) so this week i am eating dairy to see if my skin gets worse. The only dairy ...

so if it produces the same benefits of calorie reduction then i should see those same benefits, no? i eat a restricted amount of calories daily...especially during duathlon training season. my ski...

i wouldnt skip breaky either. i dont understand how intermittent fasting would help acne...

for me its the same thing! i have taken ortho tri cyclen for 15 years now. my skin is the clearest the week i have my period and then decent the first week of the pack after that its not so good at ...

side note: my skin was better when i was 10lbs heavier than i am now. im at my lowest adult weight now and my skin has been at its worst for since may i also started doing triathlons this year and t...

lots of people mention this bleaching, im doing the regimen and nothing i have had been destroyed or anything like that

thanks. i already eat sardines. i know small fish are better. sometimes i just want some cheese, high quality, local artisan cheese. not the end of the world. i seem to have a threshhold (that im ...

the thing is that acne is so personal. what works for one, doesnt work for others. ive eaten gluten free, no dairy, no grains, low sugar and i still have hormonal acne... i mean its good to eat th...

totally agree. however the amount of calcium in a 1cm (tiny) block of cheese is very very high compared to the amount of greens you would need to eat. I do eat lots of dark veggies for sure! i get l...

yep. i cut out all dairy and took supplements but my dr explained to me that bodies arent absorbing much supplements and that it was critical for me, as a woman, to get calcium. he suggested just eati...

whats the thinking on not eating a full breakfast? im pretty sure its the most important meal to fuel your body for the day...and grazing all day is supposed to be healthier for your body than waiting...

you end up peeing out the majority of these vitamins as well. i believe my derm and dr both told me that you end up absorbing maybe 5-9% of what you injest and thats why it is SO crucial that you get ...

im not sure why everyone is fighting you on the birth control thing. if it works, take it. ive been on bc for 15 years now and for me it doesnt help my hormonal acne much (which just came back 2 yea...

marcelle tinted moisturizer is great cover fx makes a nice one too so does mac

hang in there. i think the skin takes a long time to repair itself. its our biggest organ after all! i had a wicked bad breakout this week. the week before my period, without fail. but just keepi...

Thanks! Unfortunately although my arms are smooth from gluten, my face is still inflamed and hormonal nodules on my chin.

just thinking out loud. i have KP on my upper arms, going gluten free has helped it TREMENDOUSLY but not so much so for my inflamed hormonal acne. is there a chance that the two are connected someh...

good stuff i have read alot lately about women taking zinc and it elevating testosterone so i stopped taking mine also- you actually do end up peeing out most of your vitamins, i still take B comp...

I'm using saw palmetto now. its only been a week though so nothing to report.

antibiotics dont really help the issue, they just surpress it and the more you take the more you eff up your gut and become resistent (i also have acne cysts) any hormonal treatment you try (evening...

i used them for 5 months and they made my skin purge and purge and purge and never stopped. it was awful.

unfortunately im a duathelete so during my training season (Jan-July) i am doing long distance running and bike training. I only train 3 times a week though so not insane about it. (each time i run i...

thanks. its not because of the TTO i got it because of hormones and/or my dairy binge (a combination most likely) im just putting TTO on it to help and might put a little aspirin mask on the spot ...

so its day 21 for me. my skin cleared, broke out, was clearing, then broke out with 2 wicked bad bumps/nodules/cysts is this a normal pattern? also my skin was really dry for first 10 days, then w...
