Since I was in the tenth grade I have a had a love hate
relationship with acne, I loved when it was gone and hated it when it was
present.
The list of products I've tried to control it goes on and
on. One day I’ll share my review of some of those products , but right now I have
something else to share with you.
For the past couple of weeks I have been watching what I eat
( limiting sugar intake, soft drinks, junk food, no coffee, and not much dairy).
Every morning, I make my green drinks with my nutria bullet and have that for
breakfast along with typically fruit or scrambled eggs and onions. I noticed
a huge improvement within a week or so. Prior to improving my diet and drinking
my healthy drinks, I had been getting acne cysts here and there. I have reason to
believe that my skin definitely reacts to what I eat. Stick with me here.
Last Thursday, my boss brought bagels to the office along
with an assortment of delicious creme cheese spreads. My favorite is the double
whipped plain spread, yum. I had a bagel .. or two, and found a new pumpkin spread
I hadn't tried before, also double whipped. It was sweet, creamy and fluffy. I
helped myself with plenty and thought nothing of it at all. The very next day,
as I was cleansing my face in the morning, I felt a bump underneath the skin. I
was surprised because I hadn't had a bump like that in weeks. Later that morning,
I had a leftover bagel at the office with plenty of that pumpkin spread( so
good). Saturday morning, I noticed two or three more of those bumps. Immediately,
I started to think back to all of the things I had eaten a few days earlier. And
the only thing that would've caused this to happen was the creme cheese(DUN DUNN
DUNNNNNN) . After doing research I found
that there really is a link between cystic acne and dairy. Many women who
eliminated dairy from their diet reported clear skin within weeks. This might
not be true for everyone, but I think eliminating dairy is definitely worth the
try. As for me, I won’t be having dairy. This is going to be pretty tough( I love
cheese), but so worth it. I’ll be taking you guys on this journey with me. Check
in with you all soon <3’s.
Until next time.
Take care,
-Karen
