Junk food is known for causing acne. Thankfully I've never had acne. But - then again - I don't touch junk food, like crisps or sweets. But your success story is wonderful: I am sure you've given people with acne hope. Because food does affect the skin: it affects the whole body. I am glad for you. I hope many people find inspiration to know their acne CAN be controlled: even eradicated.

Hi, Does anyone know if you can safely wean off the combined pill? I have read online that other people that had acne before they started the combined pill, weaned off of it and their break outs weren't as bad as when they stopped 'cold turkey' before. I have generally only seen people post about this from the US and wondered if it was actually safe to do so? To wean, I would cut a quarter off the pill the first month, then cut off half the second month and cut off three quarters the following month until I wasn't on it at all. Hope that makes sense! Many thanks, Lauren Statistics: Posted by l ..read more

Pollen itself does not directly cause acne. Acne is primarily caused by excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. However, pollen can exacerbate acne in individuals with allergies, leading to increased inflammation and potential breakouts. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine and managing allergy symptoms can help minimize the impact of pollen on acne-prone skin. Agreed.

A quick-fix is to find a concealing foundation to cover up your acne. I KNOW that doesn't solve your problem but will at least offer less embarrassment. There are specialized foundations for acne-prone skin: these are the mother of all foundations and won't cause further skin issues, like flareups. Do Google it. You will have to be prepared to pay a fair cost, though: maybe from £20 to £30, or thereabouts. Statistics: Posted by MissCandyGirl — Wed Mar 20, 2024 3:17 pm ..read more
