ACNE ATTACK!

Totally out of the blue my face was hit by huge, sore spots that were so big they ached.
I was used to getting a few red and white heads popping up on my chin, at a certain time of the month, which were either forced to erupt by me, or they would disappear eventually and the concealer could have a few weeks off. Knowing that the spots would eventually disappear once my hormones had calmed down, was a comfort and a routine I had accepted. 

But With the Acne break out, I wasn't sure when that was going to end. Once one huge pimple started to heal, another one popped up that seemed to hurt more than the previous. 

Weird bumpy textures that gathered in clusters on my chin and jaw line, appeared too.  I started to nervously wonder if I was now facing a future that would include Acne and any money, time and hope was going to be spent on trying to get rid of it!

A visit to the pharmacist did clarify that it was acne and was probably linked with stress, great... a vicious circle then...!?


Obviously there are different grades of acne and comparing to some people suffering with acne, my scare would seem pitiable but to me, it was confusing as to why I had all of a sudden had an outbreak and at times upsetting. I had to do something, this was definitely not the normal spot routine and hoping they would go away wasn't going to be enough.  

This is what worked for me:

• After lots of research I decided to try Clear Skin Max.  I wanted speedy results but a product with as less of a chemical content as possible.  

• I had acupuncture once a week or when I could afford it.

• Went to a sauna regularly to try and “sweat out” the toxins.

• Exercised more in hope it relieve any 'stress'. 

• Drank and ate as well as I could for my lifestyle and budget. 

• Took vitamin b complex. 

• Used the Clarisonic with Weleda Baby Calendula soap.

It took about Three months for the spots and unusual skin texture to completely vacate and a break out like it hasn't appeared since. 

The thing is, I wouldn't know if the "regime" above helped to speed up the process of getting rid of the Acne, or weather they would have left on 'their' own accord but doing something practical helped.  
I have to say though, I definitely saw a difference after using the Clear Skin Max treatment.  Especially when I had applied a treatment in the evening before bed; the acne always looked calmer and reduced in size the next morning. 


Below are some images I took of my Acne when I remembered or felt like it!  They're not the best pictures and I thought I had taken some of the bigger spots, as these are just of the smaller clusters However you can see the scaring of one in image 5.  
Hopefully it will give you some idea of what the skin care regime I had adopted, was 'fighting'.

Starting to clear up, yey!

If you have suffered for a long time with Acne, and no lotions or potions are helping, have you considered getting a test for any intolerances you may have?  

A friend who suffered from Acne for many years, recently found out she has an allergy to eggs and since cutting them out of her diet her skin has cleared up amazingly.  Just thought I would pass that on in case you hadn't thought about that option.

I hope you found this post informative and or helpful...
