I think youre right about the green smoothies being the correct approach for me.   Im starting to see some improvement finally with the tea tree oil on my forehead. Also, after reading a little ...

Wow thanks for those links. I cant stop reading what everyone has said. It seems like most people saw great results with cutting out grains and dairy. I really want to go on a diet like that. No dairy...

This thread is awesome. I'm not a science girl-but all i know is that i don't have wrinkles or crows feet. My same age friends do. Maybe it has nothing to do with each other since our genetics all d...

Agreed. My skin is always less oily when I'm at home on the weekends. Also, the lights make my shiny skin look even worse. I hate fluorescent lighting.

Jofo! I started using the Aloe a few days before by itself and the reduction in oil was decent. But you are correct. When I started using the lemon oil and aloe, the reduction in oil was awesome. No b...

Haha, lewis! Im american and i gotcha! In the oily skin world, i AGREE! Nothing is worse than an oily nose. And we are speaking simply about things in oil land. Even oily cheeks or forehead are bet...

So you prompted me ro do some research on these sebaceous filaments and it turns out, what i thought was blackheads that just wouldnt produce anything when i tried to extract them are really just thes...

So i just figured out right now how to find posts that ive commented on. Duh! Im fairly new and didnt know. Ive been searching through pages to try to remember. Ugh! Not sure if you will see this no...

I found on google what youre talking about. Good to know. Ill be careful with mint teas because it seems to effect the lady parts, especially women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Thanks for the inf...

Aloe Vera juice is helping my inflamed skin but after 5 days of using it, some of my recent acne scars are fading must faster than they did before. Hopefully in the long run, it will work on the scars...

What is your current face routine? what products are you using and how often? It kind of sounds like your face is almost having a reaction to something. Face picking and popping is terrible, but sin...

I'm with Jofo, no intention to discount the recommendations of others, since we are all here to help, but I'm trying so hard to get off bp. But I have oily and acne prone. And there is no denying that...

Definitely try it! A bag of lemons is cheap and i reuse the same half for 3 days. Just store in a ziploc in the fridge. Id say i spend a dollar or two a week on this. Didnt have to exfoliate at all wh...

Agreed, spot testing is best. I had great luck with lemon juice masks. After washing, I would squeeze lemon juice into a dish and soak a cotton round in it and then apply it all over. I just let it dr...

What kind of body wash do you use?

I'm surprisingly ok with the smell. But I like the smell of witch hazel and tea tree oil and it seems most people do not. I've used acv on hair as well and the smell seems to evaporate after a few min...

For me, bp did not make red marks on the non-cystic acne. After one goes away, my skin would go back to it's normal color/texture. For the cystic though, I always have a mark that lasts for a long tim...

I recently changed my entire face routine in an attempt to go to natural ingredients. Its been frustrating trial and error but im now in a spot where im happy with what im doing. I used honey for a f...

I use dickinsons witch hazel in the big bottle with the blue sticker. I love what it does for my skin and it actually dries up some pimples. The next day just a dead piece of skin falls off and its sm...

I recently learned that exfoliating with baking soda is not good. It made my skin smooth but i started breaking out badly from it. Sorry for posting that. I had just joined and knew nothing compared ...

Cbiot!! I did the acv and i loved it! The texture of my skin was immediately better. Its like it just ate all the dead cells and though i have some bumps from my recent breakout, my fingers smoothed o...

I think i agree with you on the "acid mantle" thing maybe being something we have created. Like most things, we have to give it a name. I feel like some sort of barrier does exist only because when i ...

Cbiot, bryan, bailey and other seasoned members: id love to hear from you on this.   Bailey first told me of the acid mantle. And ive been reading so many interesting things about it. Here ar...

Agreed. Eating healthy is i think most important. And lots of water. I ate like garbage in my early 20s, and i think it had a huge impact. I still havent found any dietary things that help the oil yet...

I think i may have tried both, but i bet it was the oily skin one. That sounds like my reaction to it too. Back then, i was too impatient. Didnt give things enough time to work.   Its day 3 of ...
