Exister

High, lengthy shower water pressure on my face dries my skin out and prevents me from breaking out. But it makes the texture look terrible. All rough, pasty and red. I wasn't aware of how bad it was ...

Yikes, this sounds insane. I can see the ACV working just dabbed on, but the rest of it sounds like a nightmare. I actually cringed reading it.

Informative post, thanks.

I've been using the spray in the shower every other day and I'm pretty sure it's doing more harm than good. I have bumpy skin on my temples, which I never did before. And I just look really dried out ...

I believe in the connections between sugar, fat, grease, dairy and acne. As well as any legitimate allergy.

I've never been able to make up my mind on how I feel about supplements. Many times I've been convinced by things online that different vitamins and minerals will be the answer to my acne problem. But...

I used Vitamin C internally for a few months but it didn't help, and then I started reading about the stuff covered here: so I quit. I wouldn't put it on my face either.

I stopped taking Vitamin C because I read about how almost all ascorbic acid comes from the same source in the States, and is derived from genetically modified corn. Also that ascorbic acid is only on...

I get these too, I hate them. They spread around and hurt to the touch.

I tried chromium for a while, didn't notice a difference. But you're almost making me want to try it again.

Been using rather warm (basically "hot") water on my face for a solid minute or more in the shower for the past couple days, and all my acne is drying up. Face isn't oily at all. Who'da thunk?

Breaking out bad the last few days. Possible causes (feel free to suggest what you think is the culprit!): -Been working in construction, sweating a lot and getting dirt on my face -Washed my face tw...

Thanks for the reply. Since I've been pretty much water-only the past couple years, I don't know about the last little part of your post, but the rest makes sense. I put aloe on my face again tonight,...

Anyone else? I've sprayed it on other parts of my body, no redness whatsoever. If I was allergic, there would be right? So I honestly think it must be just healing my face. Or irritating it because it...

Vodka's about the purest thing you can drink, alcohol-wise. Just do shots of it or mix very strong drinks with natural juice. And don't drink that much. ...Just have fun. Don't look in mirrors, enjoy...

Vitamin C, Fenugreek Tea, lots of water, avoiding dairy and sugar, good sleep, sun, dove beauty bar once every couple of days. Seems to be working. The high pressure shower thing worked for a bit but...

Thanks, you two. Both of your replies were things I was already thinking, but I'm worried they might be too good/easy to be true. If the reaction was indeed due to healing that'd be great, I'd keep us...

When you guys wash your hands with really hot water does your face flush?

Hi, so I recently ordered some "Real Aloe Spray", it's certified organic, vegetarian, no animal by-products, all that good stuff. It contains "real aloe vera, purified water, citric acid, sodium benzo...

I'm a guy and I care about my acne more than most girls, but I'm an exception to the rule. Girls definitely have it worse, thanks to the media and the general male population's perception and expectat...

My aloe spray came in the mail today. Sprayed it all over my face and within seconds my face was red (to the point it was almost purple), tight and stinging. It went down after a couple hours. I took ...

I went camping for a couple of days and came back with what is probably poison ivy on my forehead. A massive, swollen, itchy, bumpy, oozing blob. Takes up probably 1/6 of my forehead. I think some has...

Feeling good. Lots of my spots cleared up in time for this outdoor concert today. I owe it all to running high pressure shower water over my face. I always thought that would just irritate my skin but...

was in a fraternity (don't call it frat btw, you don't call your country a c*nt do you?) Frat is short for fraternity. "happyflowers" has never been short for country. Oh wait, I'm talking to a frat...
