Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm in my mid 30s and have had problems with clogged pores/blackheads/congestion since my early teens. I have tried EVERYTHING, but stubborn clogs remain in my chin, nose, cheeks, between and above both eyebrows. The only thing that really works is manual extraction but they eventually come back (not immediately though) and I don't think it's great for my skin. I also have problems with clogs on my scalp, which end up looking like dandruff (dandruff shampoos haven't helped).Because I have tried EVERYTHING (every otc product, dermatologists, curology, gardenofwisdom.com, years spent in this sub, etc.) I believe that my issue isn't about what I'm doing to my skin on the outside, but what I'm doing on the inside. I think that I must be lacking something nutritionally which is causing a buildup in my pores. I was hoping to throw it out to the SCA community for ideas:Is there something (food or supplement) that would effect the shedding of skin cells? Or something that would effect the viscosity of the sebum I produce?My routine:Cetaphil cleanser (am & pm)Cerave moisturizer (am & pm)Stridex pads (pm)14% glycolic AHA (pm)Curology cream - Tretinoin .14%, Vitamin C 5%, Niacinamide 4% (pm)Oil Cleansing Method with hemp oil a few nights a weekI've tried so much to solve my skin issues externally, that I think the true issue must be an internal one. Thanks for any suggestions you have!edit: I'm thinking of trying a Vitamin E+Vitamin A +Selenium supplement after reading this:Antioxidant Effects of Vitamin EPrevent the oil secreted from the sebaceous gland from going rancid and turning hard; this prevents the clogging of the pores by hardened sebumDifferent studies have proven that vitamin E works best in acne treatment when used along with other antioxidants such as vitamin A and selenium.I don't have acne anymore, but it seems like it works best with Vitamin A and Selenium.
