I am no stranger to acne - I’ve had waves of outbreaks since puberty. Each time, I dealt with it differently and successfully, but the acne came back every few years.
👧🏻Teens: saw a derm and took accutane (hated the side effects, stopped after acne cleared despite derm suggesting a maintenance dose)
👩🏻🎓Early 20’s: used purely homemade and/or “natural” products (homemade oat cleanser, green tea toner, organic rosehip oil etc
👩🏻💼Mid 20’s: regular anti-acne facial (effective, but painful and traumatic to my skin, & time consuming)
My current outbreak started in mid 2022.
I didn’t want to go back to facial due to the reasons above. So I just tried all the different anti acne products popular on social media.
Over the course of 2023, I went through severe stress and used food as my emotional crutch. The state of my skin was at its worst I’ve ever seen in late 2023 - it was extremely oily in my T zone, extremely dry and flaky on my chin where my cystic and pus-filled acne were. It hurt to touch and it hurt even more to look at myself in the mirror. 😢
✨Turning point ✨
I went to see a functional nutritionist and did a thorough detox programme. The main goal was to improve my digestive issues + weight loss but healing my skin was another result I had!
This programme allowed me to:
- Identify my acne triggers 💥
- Learn to nourish my body with whole foods 🥗🐟
- Learn about supplements that would enhance my health (and skin!) 💊
The programme was extremely costly (in the thousands 💸), but I can share more along the way about my journey so that you can replicate it yourself (keep a lookout for future posts!)
If you’re a fellow acne sister (or brother), please don’t hesitate to reach out - I know how demoralizing and painful this can experience be 😢
