Adult Acne (I think)

byjimini

I've had acne all my adult life, it's only been this year since I started replacing meals with eating fruit & veg, that it's cleared up. I've had the clearest skin over the past few weeks that I've ever had.

I've used most products on the market as well as tablets from the doctor, they all had immediate results but soon wore off after a few weeks.

Stacking cheese sandwiches with lettuce, peppers, radishes, cucumber etc, salad for lunch, granola bars and fruit salads have replaced the chocolate bars, pasties and crisps etc I used to eat throughout the day.

I'm not saying this is the answer, it just worked for me, and hopefully will for someone else.

I stopped eating dairy for a couple of weeks as an experiment, and very rapidly noticed a huge difference.
I stopped getting new ones coming up, and the scars started healing up better. Since then I've done a bit of research and there is a suggestion that dairy can effect hormones, and therefore cause acne.

Before anyone jumps on me I Know there are is no scientific evidence to this effect, and that doctors will tell you it makes no difference.

But for me, it's the only thing that has made a difference in the last 20 years. Nothing to lose by giving it a go for 2/3 weeks to see what happens.
Hope you get sorted one way or another, it is miserable.
