How I Cleared Up My Skin

I'm a little embarrassed to show you these pictures, but I don't necessarily want to hold it a secret either. When I find a product that works, I am not one to keep it to myself. You'll find ALOT of before and after pics on my blog. I'm obsessed! Love being able to SEE a difference.

I've had an insecurity about my skin ever since I hit puberty. Dealing with constant breakouts and oily skin was awful, but I always thought that once I got through the teenage years that it would all go away. Well, I was dead wrong on that one. Nobody ever told me about those nasty hormones that NEVER seem to settle at any stage in life. So, here I was 27 years old, almost losing hope because I had tried every skin care and treatment under the sun, and spent hundreds, probably thousands doing so. Multiple skin care lines, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, ect. I've also tried taking every kind of supplement there is hoping that it would clear my skin, (I didn't want to resort to taking prescriptions, I've heard of some frightful long term affects they can have on your health, including black hairy tongue, YUCK!!!).

I would seriously cry because I hated it so bad and felt like it was so out of my control. Finally I went to see Kelly, an esthetician with Sacred Skin Care (located in Sandy). Her skincare and tips were what did the trick.

I'm not selling this product or anything, I just simply want to share what I know works.

My skin now looks better than it's ever looked, and I'm just so excited about this amazing breakthrough. I've learned a lesson from this though. Don't lose hope, never give up, and you WILL find the answer.

About 6 years ago I was on a constant search for something to help me lose weight. Once again, I tried everything possible and couldn't seem to drop the weight. It took some time, but eventually I found the program that works. This cleansing program I did has been the most amazing product for me ( lost 25 lbs and went from a size 10 to a 5). The best part about it, is I've been able to maintain it all this time.

A few other tips:

• Ice your face every night (I just use an ice cube directly on my skin, ice all over until it melts)
• Use mineral make up
• Get monthly chemical peals
• Try to use Sea Salt whenever possible, the iodine in regular salt can trigger breakouts.
• Cleanse (internally)
• Take Zinc ( I read a lot of reviews on this, and found that people are seeing great results)

Zinc and Acne: Zinc Clears Acne

If you currently have outbreaks and zits all over, you may use zinc supplements to alleviate what you are going through. Zinc can help heal your blemishes, reduce the inflammation, and reduce the androgenic effect of hormones on your skin. Thus, if you want your pimples to heal faster, taking some zinc supplements may be a good idea. zinc is closely involved in protein synthesis and in collagen formation in your body, both of which are essential in the maintenance of healthy skin and in normalizing production of skin oils. If you have been to a dermatologist and have been advised to take tetracycline, you may find it interesting that zinc is as effective as this antibiotic for preventing acne.

I found the Zinc info on Nutritional Supplements Health Guide

You can also google zinc and acne to find what other people are saying about it. I really believe that it helps. I still deal with the monthly breakouts due to hormone changes, but I just load up on the zinc and I REALLY notice a difference FAST. I take about 200-300 milligrams a day, and make sure you eat a big meal with it, because it WILL make you nauseous.

I hope this information is helpful. Please leave me comments if you have any other tips to offer.
