    Default My hormonal acne update...

    a big thanks to the girls who tipped me off re: the acne and dairy connection.

    i have been off dairy & wheat for a whole month now. i secretly knew i was intolerant to both, but couldn't give up the sweet, bready, creamy goodness. i have now and i look different!

    i have not had a single hormonal cyst this month. not even a threat of one. i have had those joke zits, ya know, 1 tiny white head you can kill in one swat... but not big soul-destroying beacon pimples.

    this is VERY exciting for me because i was at the stage with my zitty face.

    there is a number of things i did simultaneously, which wasn't very scientific of me if i wanted to know which thing worked. this means i have to keep going with all of them in case it's only one, or a weird combination of a couple of things:

    1) i rarely drink more than 1 glass of anything alcholic in one 24 hour period
    2) no dairy
    3) no wheat
    4) i use the proactiv cleanser on my oily patches only (have dry skin)
    5) taking more vitamin b (which is mixed in with my PMS tablets)
    6) forcing myself to do deep stretching when i get stressed out.

    i'm stoked. no cysts for me. yay. my overall skin condition is brighter...

    hooray for everything. not bad for a girl with rampant PMS. heh.

    Awesome!

    I am in the same boat as you, gluten/wheat intolerant and dairy intolerant. No more milkshakes or spaghetti. But I feel better now and my skin looks awesome which makes me a million times happier!

    I am glad to hear it's working for you!
