Wow

It's been one hell of a long time since I posted anything! As an update for all my acne stuff, I've had mediocre success with them all, they tend to slip back into breakouts. It's as if my body figures it out and starts to ramp up the acne again (boo). I've recently returned from a trip to New Brunswick and I've started a regimen from a soapery I went to. The soapery is called Olivier and they do sell products online. Their stuff is organic and as natural as possible and I had a tour of their facilities which showed that they do a lot of things by hand. Their bar soaps so far I've found to not be very harsh and they can be used for hair without needing any rinses like an ACV rinse. My face has broken out like mad over my vacation though (I was being bad I picked). The regimen is a sage soap twice a day with a lotion that has essential oils for acne. There's also a tonifying spray that you can spray throughout the day. I'll let you know how it all turns out if I remember to.

Update.
Wasn't faithful to this one and everything just kinda got put in a drawer.... It was nice stuff to use though I do recommend trying it. I use the soap now just for washing int he shower and it doesn't leave residue or dry out my skin.

The Skin Concoction

So as I may have mentioned before, I work a part time job at a Metro store, in the pharmacy. Yesterday while my shift was winding to a close, I decided to see how many supplements say they are good for skin (not sure if that helps acne but I'll take it). There were actually quite a few. I bought them all in the smallest amounts and decided to try taking one of each every night to see what happens. I took them last night and this morning whatever bump red but not white acne I had has faded and disappeared... WOW! The list of supplements is below:

Genuine Health - Perfect Skin
Webber - Zinc Citrate
Webber - Halibut Liver Oil
Quest - For Women Her Daily One
Jamieson - Silica with Zinc
Jamieson - Lycopene

The other things these help are the immune system, eyesight, and the prostate in men

I also took an antioxidant because they are generally good for skin and the rest of your body too. I took Swiss Antiox C which has vitamin c, pomegranate, blueberry, and mangosteen

And.. I took a couple supplements for stress (working two jobs all day with no weekend sucks balls). Stress can effect your acne by increasing it, so adding in a stress relieving supplement may help you.
they were:

Korean Red Ginseng
Swiss solutions Stress

I'm sure any of the skin ones would be excellent just by themselves

Good luck!

The Crunchy Betty Honey Challenge: Day 1

So today was the first day of Crunchy Betty's honey challenge. So far, my face looks nice. My skin is soft and moisturized. I'm kinda waiting for my acne to go nuts though to be honest....let's hope it doesn't!

#1 best thing about it so far:
My skin looks nice, and is soft and moisturized

#1 worst thing so far:
Nothing yet

Verdict so far:
While my skin is loving the honey wash, I'm not sure how my acne is going to react to it. Hopefully it dies instead of thrives.

Good luck everyone!
