I had previously had quite bad acne
I managed to clear up and get skin like this only the past year or so
After around 2-3 years of trying different shit and what works. This is what I find legit.
DIET
If you have acne- there is a root problem for it.
chances are you are intolerant to a food you are eating often. antibiotics and accutane will temporarily fix the symptom
DAIRY
- probably the most commonly reported breakout food
Peanuts
- personally I notice this breaks me out and it’s reported too online in skin groups
Sugar
- Raised insulin levels some people relate IGF to acne. I also severely notice this one and is by far my biggest trigger
Lack of vitamin A.
- megadosed vitamin A is literally how accutane works. It shrinks pores and reduces your oil gland excretion. Beef and pork liver are probably the best skin food you can eat.
Skincare
Routine
You should wash your face twice a day, in the morning at at night.
If you struggle with acne YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. You are genetically weak. No point finger pointing saying your clear friend barely washes his face. Tough shit. You are genetically inferior.
You NEED to use sensitive skin products. Cerave and Aveeno are great options.
Use the most gentle products you can get.
Cerave have a hyaluronic acid lotion bottle for around $10 (£8) which lasts around a month. This and any sensitive face wash should make up your skincare routine.
sensitive sunscreen is optional depending where you live. Unless you live in morroco or you bother tanning I don’t really see the need for it.
Only pop a spot if it has a white head, even so do it as gentle as possible. If you even have to try for more than 5 seconds to pop it chances are you shouldn’t be popping it.
Avoid all irritation possible for your sensitive skin. Touching, rubbing.
SHAVING
do not push your razor blade into your skin. Follicitus will breed quickly on your face and give you acne and shaving rash combined. Also why most guys commonly have acne on their jawline most likely from shit shaving method.
things that are cope
- benzoyl peroxide - works in tiny spot treatment or small breakouts but will dry and fuck up your skin and collagen very quickly.
- face masks, doesn’t need explaining
- nose strips - doesn’t need explaining
- essential oils
- face massages
- ( most ) chemical peels
- vitamin c
- 95% of skincare products
things that are legit
Accutane - literally if you are desperate this is your best option. Your acne will return if you don’t get to the root cause of what’s irritating your sensitive skin though - diet - shaving - product used. A lot of negative side effects you will be chancing by taking this.
I noticed depression, inhibition, hair thinned on side of head, less physical strength. fat loss. I ended up losing facial fat even on the nose from this.
Retin A - will provide 50-70% of the same results of accutane. However far less side effects on your body.
Red Light Therapy
I don’t know why anybody here talks about this. It’s literally a collagen godsend. Does consume a good bit of time out of your day though. A cheap one works well.
Green light therapy
This will get rid of freckles/ moles/ ugly rashy redness you can’t seem to get rid of.
.
this wasn’t even acne, just hyperpigmentation and freckles. I eliminated most of this using green light therapy.
Dermarolling/ Microneedling
This will get rid of scarring and give huge a collagen boost. Cheap dermarollers can be risky for tearing but if you do it smart it’s safe enough.
derminator 2 is around €200 if you want to do this at home.
Beta carotene
If you can’t tell by looking at the photos my skin has gotten noticeably more orange/ yellow. I take between 50,000-75,000 ui beta carotene daily. Pipingrock.com do really cheap beta carotene. This can be toxic though. Don’t over do it for too long
Exercise will boost recovery for almost anything in your body, plus you are dumb to not be exercising. There’s literally no reason not to.
