What would you say stopped your acne? Was it all age, or would you credit other factors?
Accutane, which probably sped up my balding.
I've been taking 200mg of zinc in tablets, 100mg in the morning and 100mg before bed. I've seen UNBELIEVABLE improvement. This, paired with the nearly 3L of water I've been drinking every day recently, has done absolute fucking wonders to my skin.
Everyone with acne would be better off without it. Not only does it make your face look greasy and disgusting, but it destroys any chance of facial symmetry
it'd bring me from a .1 to a .2, it really wouldn't make any substantial or meaningful difference, nothing would change
That's odd. Working out simply causes more breakouts (Probably because of the sweat) but I've found it's mostly my diet keeping breakouts at bay.
It's interesting. Even when I start eating healthy, I do other things that actually cause acne which I don't pay enough attention to. I just have started purchasing a bunch of face towels and take breaks in between workouts to go wash my face. I also hear it's bad to not take a shower soon after working out so I do that now. I also have problems when my beard grows out, but I think thats because of ingrown hairs which is preventable. Good to hear Zinc is working for you. I have also started eating cashews and mix them with bananas for a snack, and I buy almond based cereal like the ones from Nature Path
Make sure they're cold, so as to not open the pores.
I'll keep those things in mind since I sometimes I forget and wait too long to switch things out like pillow cases or towels. I think keeping up good hygiene along with the actual medication and gels I got will help me get the acne manageable. I know exactly how you feel about acne though. It's a great cope knowing you can at least get a handle on one of your defects even if it barely raises your PSL. It's the little things.
same now I have a lot of scars on top of being 5'3
