Regular Vitamin Water is full of sugar, which is terrible for acne. Sugar free VW is full of artificial sweeteners which are linked to a host of health issues including neurological problems (migraine...

The Inuit and other Arctic peoples survive primarily on animal foods. But if you look at research you will note that these people currently live shorter lives than the general population () 68 years ...

Everyone is different. I agree with above that it is probably processed oils that cause the most inflammation due to being so denatured. However I personally react strongly to all dairy foods and but...

Being underweight can cause hormone imbalance in women, and can even cause menses to cease. I suggest trying to healthfully gaining a little body fat to see if this helps you. Women function best horm...

What do you guys think of eating a vegan diet for acne and health in general? What do you think of the arguments vegan make about their diet being the ideal diet for humans? Also, I'm not talking abou...

I rarely get any inflamed acne, only if pick at a bump (I know it's bad.. lol). But yes they definitely seem like clogged pores. I try exfoliating a couple times a week but that has not really helped ...

Stay away from dairy, white carbs, hydrogenated and processed oils, and sugar. Vegetarianism/veganism is no good for folks with acne, since you need fat-soluble vitamins that are only available from a...

I had this myself for a while and it's clear now. I am pretty sure it was caused by cleaning my face with coconut oil (which worked well for a while and then broke me out like crazy). If you are using...

Whey is poison for me and for my brother. We both break out like mad if we have any.

dscully - While I'm confident that milk does not break me out, I will take your advice and cut it out of my diet as an experiment in that off chance that it's a delay in my acne breakout. But just so ...

Yeeeeesh! That's a lot of bread. Are you eating healthy fats? Vegetable oil is poison. If you were eating avocados and coconut oil and pastured butter, I would be dumfounded, but as it stands, I'd say...

Vitex helps your body bring itself into balance. Nobody is quite sure what the mechanism is, but it has been proven in a few studies to help irregular cycles. Acne can be caused by hormonal imbalances...

Saunas cause purges because toxins are expelled through the sweat glands and onto the surface of the skin where they cause irritation and breakouts. I wouldn't discontinue saunas, but would look at ov...

Nothing will "cure" your acne except monitoring diet and staying away from topicals you know cause you problems. A low glycemic-index diet that avoids milk and sugar particularly, and a skincare regim...

Yeah. I got it on Amazon. Rainshow'r CQ-1000-NH   It's essentially a canister filter that attaches between your gooseneck and your showerhead. I am completely non-handy and I installed it myself...

I take chewable C and have never had a problem from it. It's a negligible amount of sugar. If your skin's out of control, by all means, omit it and see if it's causing you trouble. <3

Meh. I'm 100% clear and I eat an absolute ton of pastured animal fat, fatty fish, butter, cod liver oil, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. I don't eat much grain. I would be extremely cautious...

I highly doubt that if you have acne, drinking milk does not affect it. I have had long lapses between the time at which I ate something and the time that I broke out from it. It can be difficult to c...

I live in a pretty polluted city. I don't think that the air itself helps my skin, but I do know using a showerhead dechlorinator and getting a little sun every day (not too much) is good for my skin....

I got very into protein supplementation a little over a year ago (whey and soy), and I completely blame it for an almost year-long, uncontrollable breakout cycle. Soy messes with hormones, and so does...

I cleared out my gut with a long juice fast and psyllium husk powder caplets (it's too gluey for me to swallow the powder). Didn't see anything gross or weird in my poop during that time, but everyone...

I wouldn't worry so much about un-inflamed, large pores. Those sometimes shrink on their own... and sometimes they don't. Either way, nobody is going to look that closely. Sometimes pores get enlarged...

I have trouble with regular cow's milk, but no problems with a little fermented dairy like keifer, cheese, yogurt etc if they are not sweetened. I also am not sensitive to goat's milk, so you might tr...
