Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've had what seems to be stress/hormonal acne since I was 16. When I was 21 I started on Diane-35 birth control (generic brand) which really worked wonders for me but after chopping and changing pills after a couple of years it no longer seemed to be doing much. I'm now 26 and it became particularly bad this last year, the kind of pimples that will sit inflamed on your skin for months and leave a nasty red scar behind. I experimented heaps with my skincare routine but nothing seemed to help so I decided to go off birth control altogether - big mistake because my acne was no longer localised to my face and started popping up on my back and chest same as before I started taking the pill. So I went back on Diane asap but started using the actual Diane brand rather than generics which seemed to help but still didn't take me all the way there. I also cut out dairy (including protein bars which I was eating a lot of) which seemed to be a trigger. I've been taking Vitamin D tablets for the last month (DNA test revealed I'm prone to Vitamin D deficiency) and I kid you not I have not had a single zit since. Only today I found one tiny comedone which I'm typically very prone to. I've also reintroduced dairy with no issues. Has anyone else had a similar experience? My guess is that dairy is an inflammatory and Vitamin D is an anti-inflammatory?
