Acne and I

The benefits of cleansing your skin with oil and how this method can help even those with the oiliest of skin to obtain a clear, healthy complexion.

I am going to leave it there and continue this tomorrow or something. If you want to know more, please shoot me a message! I love to hear from people and I love helping.

I just say this! Tell me all your woes. This is something I am STILL struggling with and I feel bad, I've neglected this tumblr page for so long. 

Surgery! No! Don't do that...what procedure is that? I haven't ever heard of a surgery for acne. So I'm nearing my 22nd birthday and I still get major breakouts. A few months ago I worked at Nutrition House, which is a supplement store. I started taking a pill called Chlorella, which is a nutrient from the sea, it's a whole food and also a blood purifier. Neem works as well. Then I started on Estrosense, which is a pretty expensive supplement, but it works to cleanse the liver and kidneys and stabilizes hormones. This is going to be a long message, I have a lot to say on the subject! My skin still flares up, but I know a lot of it is diet and happiness. Your mind is so attached to your skin. Also just eating well. But I have completely cut any product for skin out of my regimen. I only use castor oil and olive oil as a cleanser *http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/*

Wow, that is quite the regime. Thank you! I'll keep those things in mind. Hope it works for you. 

Anyway, this site is great. It's free, unless you want to comprehensive booklet...which just goes into great detail, detail that I'm sure you can figure out for yourself. 

Ohhh hey, that's a great idea...apart from the fact I'll jump infront of a car before I'd get blood tested ;) Nahhh, joking, it'd be worth it to possibly find out what the problem is. I need to really focus on my diet, I'm bad when it comes to that :S

I have, I was also drinking a spoonful everyday...I think I should start again! Thanks for reminding me.

my skin is looking so so

Thank you for the love! I feel your pain. I remember all through high school I was one of the only females with terrible terrible acne. It's a tough thing to live with, but I guess you can try looking at it as a test! A test of character and self confidence. I'll be honest, I'm sure half the people you interact with on a daily basis don't even see your acne, I know the people I know and see don't see it anymore. I feel weird about wearing revealing clothes, but I've learned to deal with it and do the best I can to help my body. The worst thing you can do is stress about it, stress causes acne. It's a vicious circle! I'd say just pick a dress you love, regardless of coverage, make as revealing as possible and fucking own that acne. It's yours, might as well try and love it. If that doesn't work for you, take a back up dress :)

What if I went to the doctors tomorrow and they told me that all the goodthings I was doing for my body/face were actually just making it worse? What if they told me that I should starting drinking and doing drugs and eating McDicks everyday to help me skin! These scenarios run through my head because sometimes the thoughts of clear skin leave me in a hopeless state. All that being said, it's looking better day by day. But that's not good enough. I wish I would wake up some morning and my face would look like porcelain.

I am sorry. I do this quite often don't I? Not write for like...8yrs and then apologize and be a dick about it! I just didn't know what to write, I guess. My face...that's the thing eh? It's been looking good! I've been using The Body Shop products and it's been working pretty well. I really only heavy break-out around my period, which is normal normal. My diet has been fairly good, I've improved it considerably, although there may or may not have been kit-kat bars sitting around my house and I had to...because...they're kit-kats! A weakness of mine. But it is kind of interesting to see what happens after you've been eating well for so long and breaking down and how your face/skin reacts to the processed sugar. Not well. Yet, does that stop me? No. Kinda dumb. I've been attempting to drink a lot of water...actually, brb...I literally just stopped to get water. No lie. There was one week a few weeks ago where I was physically active everyday, it was the best I'd felt about myself in a long time. But being broke and living in BC isn't the best combo because it rains for weeks at a time and if you want to be active, you go to a gym. Although I am a big fan of dancing and a few nights in a row I whipped my iPod out and rocked in my room, and I mean rocked out. I was a sweaty mess at the end of my workout, and it was great. My skin looked great as well. I have a motto...kind of, I mean I whip it out of my hat from time to time. That is that I try to sweat once a day. Not just by cracking the heat in my room, that's cheating y'all. I mean actually physically exerting yourself! I'm one to talk, I hardly have done anything like that lately. Although I'd say I more than made up for it yesterday after a good 15km hike around Vancouver. So what I'm saying is that it's to sweat, it's good for your pores. It gets the gunk out of them, just be sure to shower shortly after. I plan on getting better are my acne blog once again because I was getting such good response and it was awesome! Tell your friends about me! Spread the word young grass-hoppers!
