the low down on zits??

What about a pimple on your eyelid? Anyone?! I had one that I`ve scratched off accidently..I don`t have an issue with acne generally but why on earth would one plant itself on my eyelid?! grrrr!

No probs miss moshy 🙂 Just fyi – I currently take zinc tablets and ultraceuticals ultra clear tablets for my skin 🙂

Good one Miss Moshy let us know how you get on with the vitamins darl, I should think about taking some myself, I only ever take fish oil tabs, since I slackened off on the silica.

Hey Elmo, you mentioned vitamins for healthy skin? What sort of supplements would you recommend (for teen/young adults)?

EDIT: I just redirected myself to the acne topic, and i found heaps of wonderful information there from your old posts, as well as many others! Please disregard this, but thank you for the wonderful advice posted in the other thread 🙂 I`m writing ideas to follow up and possibly buy now!

im a teen ive been on lots of things but the pill seems to work best for me.i find that the avene skin range is good too

this has been very helpful.. as every teen gets pimples. as understand the chocolate gives you pimples is a myth. But it certainaly cant be to good for skin. i suggest that you dont go on a strict diet, maybe you could just aim to put healthy foods into your diet and cut back on the junk. Stick to a strict skincare regime – i recommend Benzac AC.

HI, if your and adult there can be lots of reasons your breaking out, stress, hormones and lack of female hormones, over cleansing and the products you are using or not using.

female hormonal mediated acne is a big one if you are over 20 and the only thing that really helps that is going onto a special contraceptive pill which i had to use at one point to help my acne, it has anti androgens which helps if you have to many male hormones floating around.

make sure your not stripping your skin and using harsh chemicals also take a zinc supplement and exercise helps by flushing toxins out and drink plenty of water( thats really important) and everyone is different so talk to a skin therapist if you have major problems

Kimbee how old are you? If you`re still a teen – you shouldn`t be restricting your diet too much – you`re still growing and you need all different foods/minterals etc for your body.

As long as you`re not stuffing your face full of junk food all day every day, you should be fine. Even though dairy can be problematic for some people, it`s something that I would be hesistant to recommend you cut down on, as you need it to grow strong and healthy bones.

If you have severe acne, and it`s hormonal, then a doctor would be your best place (or natural medicine practicitioner – depending on what yoou prefer) as hormonal acne can be treated, and your diet will have no effect on it whatsoever.

If you just break out, then taking healthy skin vitamins daily, plus a good skincare routine, will help sort out that situaiton. 🙂

thanks heaps guuys i`m considering goin on a strict skin diet =)

And hydrate from the inside, drink plenty of water 🙂
