I don't have ovaries to produce my estrogen and keep me on an even keel. Basically, I'm 28, and without hormones I'd be fully menopausal. It SUCKS!! I am glad I found this site and learned about EPO, ...

That sounds like a gigantic cyst. They SUCK. OMG. I'm sorry for you. I am with you on the hormonal cause, however. I'm pretty damn sure that's what happened to me last fall when I suddenly started bre...

The Get Gorgeous tea is better tasting than the Double Red Rooibos (both from the Republic of Tea). However, the double red is MUCH stronger with more antioxidant properties. I have both - actually d...

I tried increasing my vitamin A a few weeks ago. I noted severe stomach pain - upper area of abdomen. When I stopped taking the increased dose, the pain stopped. Not a coincidence. I had been on 8,000...

I had already stopped dairy at the time of starting the tea. I think dairy does affect an increase of acne for me, but stopping it didn't give me a glowing, healthy looking complexion either. The tea ...

Yes, rooibos tea is some good stuff, & I know it feels weird to apply it to your face but OMG it feels heavenly! After it dries (I dab off any drips), my skin gets very soothed w/a matte appearanc...

The rooibos tea has way more antioxidants than mere green tea and is known to improve overall health and skin. It's doing pretty well for me. It does seem strange to put it on your face, but when it d...

I found it at an organic/health food store. It was the last container, apparently it's popular. I think I'll re-order online today in bulk so I have plenty. It's quite a drive to that store, if only t...

I agree that the rooibos tea isn't the best tasting, but I've grown used to it. I don't really sip it, I gulp it. I enjoy other teas, but I drink this one because I enjoy how my skin looks and I like ...

have u noticed a change in skin texture since drinking it, i woke up this morning, and i almost looked like iw as wearing foundation. that tea is awesome!! and still no more spots!!! Not one acti...

Glad things are looking up for you! I also love that jojoba oil! I still think, "wow I'm putting OIL on my face!" but I love how it makes me look and how it feels. It also seems to keep my dry areas (...

is the double red rooibus loose tea leaves? i heard that is best, and what brand is the double red rooibus? glad to hear things are finally kicking in for u and you are getting good healing It's...

Aprilmay - I have never heard the term "asian glow" but OMG that's funny! At least we can laugh at our imperfections now, knowing they'll eventually go away! LOL!! I have cut down to only 2 cups of co...

So far, it's drastically improved from when I started this retin-a/vitamin/minerals/tea journey! LOL! I had a few days with no active acne at all. I'm on week 3 of retin-a, which is commonly the IB we...

I did pick up the "light" version, & I don't drink much of it. It's mostly a splash in that morning cup of coffee (otherwise I drink it black - no creamers or anything). Thanks, though, I'll look ...

Hey there, Just thought I'd send an update as I finish week 9 - skin continues to improve steadily, can't say I'm breakout free as I've had 2-3 pimples crop up in the same general area, but they're s...

I think I'm going to try it as a toner tonight after work. I feel a small breakout coming on... I HOPE it's just a small one anyway. Maybe it will help. I don't think it could hurt, anyway! Only been ...

DAY 38 funny how skin change change so much (usually for the worst) and yet so little (usually for the better) at the same time. some red marks have faded a lil but i got a new sucker on my right si...

The other day, I read this article on a news site about 10 skin myths exposed... and I wished they had an open comment section so I could write B*LLSH!T all over their page. They said the best way to ...

My tea arrived tonight! I had 2 cups. It is ok - not the best tasting tea in the world, but it's really not bad either! I ordered the Get Gorgeous tea from the Republic of Tea. It came with some catal...

If anybody has any psychology expertise/knowledge and would like to offer pointers on how to remap my unconscious believes... please share them. I'm a psych major... I have a 4.0 as I finish my junio...

I'm also on the retin-a but only 8 full days into it. I have seen improvement so far, very little skin irritation, but am leary of a major breakout since it happens to some people. The first few days ...

Yea, the zinc easily upsets my stomach, which is weird for me. I have a normally iron stomach - nothing gets to me! I am trying to take it twice a day though, for now. Once I get things under control ...

I took HoneyGirl's advice and ordered some of this rooibos tea online. Of course, the shipping cost was outrageous, so I opted for the 5-6 day option (1 day shipping was $28). In the meantime, I'm at ...
