Me! I had terrible cystic acne on my face for years. It started after I was already out of high school. I went and saw dermatologists who did nothing for me but make it worse when they wouldn't listen to the fact that I have sensitive skin. So I did a few things...
- stopped drinking milk and began eating more plant-based meals. I usually eat two vegan meals a day, one of which is "raw" (usually a smoothie with lots of greens). This has been one of the biggest factors to my skin clearing up. I ate more dairy than usual this week because it's been really stressful and I have a big fat zit above my eyebrow to prove it.
- started using all natural skincare. I use glo-therapeutics and yes it's expensive, but it's completely worth every penny to not deal with acne. I use the purifying cleanser, toner, oil free moisturizer, and the renew serum. Renew serum is definitely my #1 favorite. I have no breakouts when I use it every night or every other night.
- facials. I get a facial every 4 weeks... Not a very relaxing one, though. I get a lot of extractions and it has greatly helped my skin. Now I know that's not going to work for some people and I'm fortunate that I work in a salon so I get them for free if I have the time. Do facials at home if you can't go in and get one!
