Hormone Acne Is Not Going Away Posted: 05-02-07 22:49pm
im 16 turning 17 and im a junior in high
school and especially this year i have
been getting an attack of pimples on my
face, and they're not going away, my mom
says its from hormones and im taking her
word for it since i don't no, i used
proactive, and proactive advance for about
3 weeks with getting no results at all. i
tried alot about 3 different kinds of
clean and clear solutions, those didn't
work....... now im trying rubbing alcohol,
aloe plants and gel(i prefer the gel
because the plants is a mess and taste
really really bad if it get in your
mouth).......... my mom says i have
sensitive skin, and i take her word
because she used to be a p.e. teacher and
they had to learn all about health so she
has the best knowing knowledge on acne as
far as i know.
My ACNE
1. little red dots, that soon turn into
big white heads
2. appear on cheek area the most, some
around the nose and lips, though ones
around the nose become really big and
throbbing.
3. im not sure how oily my face is suppose
to be and its hard to tell because im
light skinned. but it seems pretty oily
when i come home from school.
4. pimples become flaky, but every pimple
i get popped or un-popped become scars
which i really need to fix also.
pleasee help me!!!

Acne is not fun! Try vitamin C, B6, zinc
supplementation and stay completely away
from sugar (ya this includes soda pop,
granola bars and yogrut). Oily skin
usually responds to vitamin B12, and Folic
Acid supplementaion. Also try Kombucha
tea, brew it at home.
Some times food sensitivities are behind
acne flare ups, if you have a favorite
food or crave a food try eliminating it
for 3 weeks see if that helps.

The problem is most people don't know what
eating healthy really means.
Orange juice is high in sugar, and only
gives you about 60 mg of vitamin C, which
is not sufficient to help with an acne
problem. Start by eliminating all sugar
from your diet for three weeks, this won't
hurt a healthy person, and may be all that
is needed to resolve the acne. If you
don't try it you'll never know.

Your body gets energy from a variety of
different foods. I am not aware of a RDA
for sugar though. Complex carbohydrates
(beans, peas, whole grains, etc...) are
your best source, check out low glycemic
index foods and stick with those for a
while.
