After 15 years of struggle, I cleared my skin without products or medications!!!

I’ve struggled with fungal acne for a very long time. I’ve tried working with Derms who gave me prescriptions (fluconozale, ketoconazole, etc), I’ve spent $1,000s on “acne-clearing” body washes and salyzcidic acid cleansers and all the things, I’ve bought all the products and tried all the routines… it would get better then it would get worse but I never had any long-term improvement or significant break throughs.

Fast forward to this year, I got married in April and wanted nothing more than to have clear skin on my wedding day. I started working with an esthetician and getting facials a few months before the wedding to try and help prep my skin. I was telling her my issues and she suggested working with a dietician because my skin issues were probably related to my gut health. I had never explored that route and was determined to have clear skin for my wedding so I found a dietician in my area and started working with her.

WHEN I TELL YOU she listened to my story and all my symptoms and struggles and knew almost immediately what was causing my acne I almost cried. She put on a very strict elimination diet that avoided foods that cause inflation and were feeding the bad bacteria in my gut and making my skin flare up. The diet was TOUGH (no alcohol, no caffeine, no sugar, no gluten, no starches, no wheat/grains) but again, I had 3 months until my wedding and I was extremely determined so I followed it, cut all of that out of my diet, and my skin literally started clearing 2 weeks later. I stayed mostly on that diet for 3 months (with a few exceptions) and my skin looked AMAZING at my wedding and has stayed pretty clear ever since!!!

I’m sharing this in case anyone else out there has explored the gut health route for skin issues. I can’t believe it took me this long to discover it but I am SO thankful and grateful!

Uneven skin tone

I have been dealing with uneven skin colour. My hands and legs are a different colour from my face, and even different areas of my face have different shades. I consulted a doctor and started chemical peels, but they have not worked. Is there any effective treatment or solution for this?

We don't recommend Kaolin Clay products. They contain irritating agents according to Incidecoder.com

All they yellow warnings mean they're irritating. More irritation means more pigment.

Sunscreen recommendations

Hello. I have a lot of suntan and unfortunately it’s almost impossible for me to avoid the sun. Even my lips have become darker.

I’ve tried some highly recommended sunscreens but they left a greasy layer on my skin and I ended up getting pimples because of that.

I’ve tried:

- La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Solar Cream Ultimate Protection Ultra Long-UVA SPF 50+

- Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF 50+ PA++++

- CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Could you please suggest a sunscreen that works well for extremely oily skin? I currently don’t have any pimples because I’ve stopped using almost everything on my face.

Also, can sunscreen help fade my suntan over time? If so could you suggest a toner or another skincare option that might help with fading the tan?

any recommendations on fading dark spots

hi everyone, i wanted to ask some advice i could use to fade my dark spots because my skin looks really dull compared to my body and it looks like I have acne even when I don’t. I tried to use vitamin C, but it made my skin more irritated and red.

Need to know if it’s possible

My hands and face are dark brown but my legs chest and back are creamy yellow fair. Is there a way to lighten the colour of my hands and face?

I have noticed that when I take care of my skin it does start to look better but the second I go outside my skin gets dark again and have tried so many things to the point that know I think sunscreen is just a hoax. The cycle keeps repeating. My skin reacts the same whether it’s covered in one or not.
