There are people, who have great skin, despite eating like sh..t. However, if you're not one of them... look at this from the bright side. When candy shows up at your face in form of acne, you feel motivated to not eating it. Person with great skin eats a lot of candy and boom in few years diabetes. So, your acne actually protects you from illness :) At least, that's what I tell myself, because if life gives you lemon.. :):)
I completely agree. I have oily and acne prone skin but it was worse when I was younger. My mom got me to drinking green juices and I started eating clean. My skin cleared up so much. People think I’m trying to lose weight but I’m actually eating well for my skin, 😁 my body thanks me for it too though.
yesssss, completely agree with this! we're all given such different situations, and each situation, no matter whether it seems good or bad on the surface, is actually a blessing for us to learn new things from! and when we make it through, it's a whole other feeling of confidence and empowerment hehe. thanks for sharing!! - fel 😘
Thank you for the video and thank you 90Kasiek for what you said. I never really thought about it in that way. Now I can see it as my skin is telling me something and I need to watch what I eat. That’s why I’m having the breakouts. More fiber!
Another tip: EXERCISEEE: This is rlly important and from my personel experience, i did everything fel mentioned in the vid but my acne still wouldn't completely go away, however, i started working out everyday, and i still do it now, and my skin has completely cleared out. Fyi, when you exercise, ur muscles need energy, which they get from glucose and oxygen, so ur body is actually using up the glucose u had taken up from all these foods, meaning the glucose is going away becayse of this anyway so there is no need for too much insulin production. I would definitely recommend to follow all the tips fel mentioned in the vid along with daily exercise, which cleared my acne, and hopefully it will urs too :D
yessss, you're so right! exercise is such a great way to use up and burn energy aka reduce the blood sugar, so that they're not just building up in our system, but being used in the way they were for! I actually started running again, and it just makes such a huge difference in so many ways, like concentration, motivation and mood! thanks for sharing girl! - fel 😘
@@aloarstory3358 I usually just make a workout routine of 10 to 15 minutes of different exercises with 2 to 3 10second breaks in between. My main priority is to sweat out and that happens only when u feel tired and out of breath during the work out. If you don't know much about work outs, I suggest you could find a 10 to 15 minute full body work out on RU-vid, infact that's what I started out with. And it's really important that you do this every day for clear skin. You could take 1 to 2 days off I a month, but try not to do it more than that. Good luck!!
I’ve been struggling with adult acne for about a decade now. This information has blown my mind. My acne is exactly the same as yours Fel. Can’t wait to change some eating habits and fingers crossed I’ll see some results.
awww thanks so much for sharing! I think it makes all the difference to everyone also going through similar things that we're not alone in the process, and that it's actually quite normal. and encouraging ourselves and each other to be patient with the process and learn as much as we can! let us know how it all goes in the upcoming weeks and months! - fel 😘
@@BeautyWithin I thought I’d pop back and say I really think it’s helping! It’s only been a couple of weeks but I’m definitely seeing improvement. Making a conscious effort to include more veg and protein in dinner meals. Usually do poached egg and avocado on toast OR berries and coconut yoghurt with granola for lunch. And still enjoying my daily soy latte.
For me I had to cut back sugar. I love sweets, so this is hard. But I notice I tend to consume more sugary food 2 weeks before my period. Cutting back absolutely helped, I didn't get giant painul pimples
I've had oily skin all my life, but had a terrifying cystic hormonal outbreak about 3 years ago when my face was completely wrecked and swollen - all these bumps were growing out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do to keep it controlled. At the same time, I started having abdominal pains (even when I wasn't on my period). I went to the doc and found out I had a huge ovarian cyst that needed to be surgically removed. 1 week after the surgery, all the acne cleared by itself. That whole episode taught me a lot about how acne can be a direct reflection of your body chemistry and health.
I went to see my Derm today & she was so quick to prescribe me medication & flew out the door😑. No medicine can cure acne forever so everyone should know the root cause of their breakouts, or they’ll just keep returning. Thank you so much for this breakdown it was amazing & super helpful.
oww this means a lot! tyyy! it definitely can get super complicated, which is why I think a lot of people might give up on trying to figure it out, but actually once we know the core principles it's like mind blowinggg and so encouraging! thank you for all you do and commenting! - fel x
I am a trained medical esthetics person, you did a better job with this than professional trainings on cystic and acne topics. Loud clapping here ! So glad I found you and congrats !!
I am in my 40's now and when I had acne at 14-18 years old, I started using Retin A. I was deterred from using it because of the peeling. The dermatologist actually told me that sweets had nothing to do with acne. I told him, when I ate junk foods (big macs, drank pop, fries, etc.) my acne increased. I kept believing him and used the Retin A as an excuse to eat crappy. I changed my eating, got rid of dairy, drank more water, ate healthier and acne went away. Bottom line: YOU ARE CORRECT. Even though doctors tell us something, our bodies know the truth. LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
I've been struggling from this type of acne for years now, and I figured it was caused by hormones issues, but never I've seen someone break it down like you just did !!!! Even doctors never explained it like that. This is literally the first video I've listened to that make so much sense ! Thank you
This made me re-evaluate my eating habits. I have noticed a change in my skin and since the holidays haven't gone back to better eating habits entirely. Thanks for the self awareness reminder 🙂
aww this is awesome to hear! honestly, the holiday seasons are the hardest because there's just so much deliciousness and socializing going on hahah, but it happens to all of us so you're deefffs not alone! we got thissss hahah. thanks for sharing girl! - fel xx
I had the same time!! My skin stayed clear for a year because I got into skincare. But then my period became irregular due to stress and lo and behold, HUGE cycstic acne around my mouth. I haven't worked out since the pandemic started, ate whatever I wanted everyday, also had a lot of stress with school and work. The reasons behind my acne is so much simpler than I thought, and I can't believe I was genuinely confused as to why I was having acne again🤡🤡🤡 Skincare is important, but diet, exercise and mental health is also SOOO important and foundational to having good skin. Fel thank you for this video!!
I started Keto 2 weeks ago and after watching this video I realized my face is looking the best it has been in along time! I cut out processed sugar and reduced my sugar intake drastically. And I also cut out starchy foods. Focused more on vegetables and meat, and it all makes sense now! Our bodies really are amazing.
omg woww that's awesome to hear!! keto is something that i've only ever looked briefly into, but I'm so happy you found a routine that works for you since at the end of the day, that's all that matters! and of course, something that gives you joy too! our bodies are soooo crazy, i love it!! and always learning more about it, so you shall be hearing all about the new tidbits in my future videos hahah. thanks for sharing! - fel x
I also experienced horrible acne recently that started last year. I’ve always had issues with my blood glucose (it’s in my family) and only recently learned this sugar-insulin-acne relationship as well. It’s so important and this video explains it so well! I bet many people with acne are going through this more recently, since we’re just now able to migrate towards a life similar to the one before the pandemic and eating all the yummy things at restaurants.
@@ilariafranco6159 And adult acne sucks because I find it more painful than teen acne 😭 I hope both of us will escape from this soon. Gotta stay strong until then 🥹
My doctor prescribed adapalene gel. Talk to your doctors about it. I’m still on day 2 but he said it will take about 6-8 weeks til I see a difference. What happens is with this gel it becomes worse before it gets better
I’ve never had such bad skin my entire 26 years until this year! I’m so insecure and feel like crying sometimes because it looks so bad, it hurts and it’s itchy. I’m going to start eating healthier to help my skin get better because at this point I’m so desperate to get rid of this terrible phase that my skin is dealing with.
I'm so sorry you have to go through all this, two years ago I had the same problem, I was so depressed I watched many videos and found Dr Berg started doing intermittent fasting, it worked but I recently moved to another city and the acne came back in full force no matter what I did I just discovered rice is the culprit. If you can cut off all carbs for now and combine it intermittent fasting. The only you'll struggle with are the scars.hope this helps.
I think one thing to keep in mind is stress. I've always been pretty diligent about my diet but when I moved to another country and experienced stress for an extended period of time, it really messed up my hormones and skin. It was frustrating because I was like omg I literally do all the right diet things and have cured my acne before! But I have found balancing cortisol to be equally important and sometimes more challenging to balance. Love your videos :)
How do u balance out ur hormones? Cuz I’ve literally tried everything and I don’t know what to do. No matter how clean I eat, how much water I drink, how much sleep or exercise I get, my acne gets worse and worse and no doctor or anyone can help me
@@kamilahdammit I’m going to do a video on this soon. I feel your pain! I’ve had two major shifts in my hormones that I needed to correct. Once after getting of the pill and once in my 30s. So I’ve definitely learned a lot over the last 10 years
@@candicefoy This is so crazy. My cystic acne definitely reignited when I traveled abroad for a month. I had no idea why but I definitely think cortisol and the diet change did it. Im so so sad now my cheeks are scaring again. Please let us how you were able to rebalance your hormones. Subscribing to you channel now.
My acne is EXACTLY the same as yours! I am slowly trying to get back to a strictly home cooked whole food diet versus going out and eating processed or unhealthy foods. It makes a HUGE difference in mood, skin, and overall bloating. Although treats are great in small quantities, I will always agree to add more veggies rather than take away foods
I love this, please talk more about hormonal acne and how to deal with it!! Ive had this flare up for the past like 6 months and it hasnt stopped :( but its true ive been much more depressed and stress eating. Im taking the pill to hopefully help it but you inspire me to start implementing better habits now so if i ever get off the pill, i will be able to deal with it easier !
thanks so much for sharing!! you're defs not alone, and I think a lot of us have also gone through those periods of flare-ups where we just have no idea why it's happening and nothing seems to work. the pill is good temporary solution and can definitely help to gain confidence back, so that when the time comes you'll be more empowered to tackle it again, and we'll be right here with you tooo! Hope everything is going okay, and just remember you're never alone, and if it seems to hard at times, just take a step back and give yourself some time, breathe, and it'll work out :) - fel xx
Thank you for this. I struggle a lot and most days I lose hope but knowing someone else has also gone through it and has actually seen results after eating healthy (specially cutting down processed sugar intake) and giving a natural review like this really is motivating. Thank you, dear Fel! 😭❤️
Wow thank you so much for this video! My dad's an acupuncturist/traditional Chinese doctor, and he has always told me to reduce the sugar I eat because I have a problem with chin acne (hormonal). I knew he was right, but hearing you give such a thorough and scientific explanation was really helpful! It will definitely make me be able to convince myself to cut down on the sugar now 😊
Just wanna say thanks for the graphics and sharing, I am almost positive I got the same thing as I am having terribly acne and my period is now 3 months! I have just been craving home-cooked food and just eating at home and FEELING SO MUCH BETTER (but my period are still irregular). Your video makes so much more sense, I will try to incorporate the rest of the tips!
Thank you so much! ✨ I’m going through the exact same thing! Eating badly last months, not getting period and now getting cystic acne from it! And now when this video came, I realized how much sense it makes! Made me understand my body better ❤️❤️ Thank you!
Oh my gosh, Fei. I'm crying because I feel so seen. I've started tracking my cycles too and my cystic acne is totally being influenced by skipping and irregularities. Thank you for this golden video! I actually just--feel so blown away and like there is hope for this.
Thank you for making this video! Over the past few months, I've also seen an increase in hormonal acne that I haven't had in 10+ years! I really couldn't figure out what was going on but after watching this video, I can see how my new habits have been causing me to break out 😭Hoping mine will finally go down after correcting these new bad habits!
awww thank you so much for sharing! you're definitely not alone in experiencing these somewhat 'random' breakouts, it took me more than 10 years to figure it out, and I'm still learning! the body is truly an amazing thing, and I appreciate it so much more with each little fact I found out. Let us know how your routine goes, and rooting for you! we're all here to motivate each other! - fel xx
this was so informative and the way Fel shared it was so humble and personal. keep up the good work! so grateful for channels like these that genuinely educate their audience ~
awww thank you for such a sweet comment! I'm just glad that we can all learn new things together, and when I find new things out that I have this place to share with all of you! the best bunchhh hehe. thanks for the comment! - fel x
The insulin part of your video changed my life. We currently talked about that in education school and that it's not healthy to eat too much sugars and bad fats. Too much sugars and fats will also show weight gain. I will now start to eat more healthy and avoid sugars and fats. You motivated me soo much
I am experiencing cystic acne for the past 2 months and decided to search for information about it just now. So happy that I came across this video of yours. I like how simple it was explained and the concept became easy to digest. Will try updating ny diet and hopefully I can also do what you did and have clearer skin as well. Thanks!
Thank you!!!! So much for covering this. I’m going through this right now and my first thought was ok let’s do a skin regimen complete overdo and it kept coming back after a couple days of being gone. I’ve never experienced cystic acne in my life and I feel so much empathy for others now. It’s really an emotional roller coaster of trying to make right and go back to what my skin was. Many RU-vidrs speak of insulin resistance but I didn’t relate until now that it’s affecting my skin.
English is not my first language, (I’m like B2 I guess. I doubt being C1 lol) but I’ve understood literally EVERYTHING. Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’m on Roaccutane now and my skin has never looked better than now, BUT I found out that genetically my body produce more androgen and testosterone than it has to and now I’m very afraid to get my acne back……But luckily I’ve just found this video, it’s just blowed up on my recommendations. I’m so glad I’ve found it, cause my dermatologist has told things like “Acne is an independent disease it rarely relies on your diet. Some ppl eat burgers every single day and still don’t get any breakouts”, but still she says “try to reduce sugar, products that contain high glycemic index and diary”. Now I understand WHY. I really hope for my skin to stay at the certain condition that it is now, but in order to prevent dramatic breakouts I guess I have to try this out, cause as I remember I feel myself WAAAAAAY BETTER when I eat healthier, less sugar, less diary, more veggies, more fruits etc. I’ve been thinking about paying attention to my diet for the last 1-3 weeks I guess, but after this video I will DEFINITELY watch myself and learn more about it.
OMG you are 1111100000% right!!!! I was eating really healthy and my skin was doing great and periods were normal but then I started traveling for work and ordering lunch at work and all of a sudden my face went crazy and cystic acne is so bad right now and my periods are happening sooner than expected. That’s it I’m getting back on a good clean healthy diet ASAP! Thank you so much for helping me!!!!
Some people find it difficult to be honest to others to be able to say NO to bad food .You need to be strong and learn to take care of yourself otherwise you'll have acne forever.Acne doesn't vanish on its own,you need to make effort so your skin can heal.
Fel, I love these videos of yours about health and diet!! You keep me motivated to eat healthy and not get frustrated or depressed about what I shouldn't eat, but to look at the positive about what healthy things I can eat and how good my body will feel when I do. I would love to see a video on recipes or food recommendations you have! Thank you so much for these videos, it's so nice to know we're not alone in these hormonal/reproductive system struggles! 😁
awww I'm so so happy to hear this!! Honestly I just get super excited to share everything I found out and share it with you guys who might also be going through similar things, because I know how confusing it can be! And to also just be a place where we can all vibe together, knowing that we're deffffss not alone in our skin struggles and that there are really simple ways we can figure it out together hehe. Will definitely be doing some food videos, already working on it ;) thanks for commenting girl! - fel x
I had gone completely sugar free, but once I cracked because of stress, i immediately noticed the return of my cystic acne, and tried to throw every acne treatment at it before realising i was damaging my skin barrier and needed to just modify my diet :')
Thank you for being so clear and concise. I recently saw a top rated derm it cost me $300 and she basically pushed me out the door, I learned more in your video and it's free!! This is the exact acne I'm struggling with, thank you!
Also stress… that’s a huge one. 99% of stress is subconscious and it affects our health so much. Stress causes 95% of all disease. The other 5% is genetic which was caused by stress in our relatives who passed it down. EFT tapping, mindfulness, energy work, etc. can all help to heal this. Great video! Thanks for this.
Luckily I figured this out just a month ago. I was struggling with Insulin resistance. I am tackling this with protein rich food, less caffeine, less Suger, veggies in my diet, apple cider vinegar, Magnesium, Cinnamon, chromium. I can see it has been helpful so far. Only had 3-4 acne since it’s over a month now.
aww that's awesome! that feeling when you've finally realized the root cause of it is such a liberating feeling! it's like connecting the dots and it's like a huge weight is lifted off the shoulder! yes to figuring out our dietsss hahaha thank you for sharing! - fel x
FEL AND BEAUTYWITHIN, there is not a lot of info on YT regarding insulin resistance and hormonal acne. Please believe me when I say that your coverage on this topic is helping MILLIONS of people who are struggling, myself included. There are so many of us who have lived through several years with a lessened quality of life due to our adult hormonal acne- searching for the root cause, this. PLEASE PLEASE share more content/information about hormonal acne and insulin resistance. We are so eager to watch and learn more! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww so glad it could also help you hopefully understand a little but more about potentially what's going on with your body and skin! Thank you for watching and learning with me, more to come I promise 😊💗🙏 Fel xx
I love listen to your insides on this matter, I also struggle with hormonal acne. Living in an Asian country it is supper hard to cut put carbs and sweet desserts as majority of food it full on them. But I try the best I can. Enjoyed this so much. Thank you 💜
this is the fist time i have ACTUALLY found a person with the same type of hormonal acne, ON THE BACK AND CHEST TOO and i'm mind blown. thank you for the tips, i hope those will go away ^^
Totally 💯 right I accidentally discovered this cycle of insulin resistance after trying hundreds of skin products and DIY stuff I came to realize that my food habits and my diet is the ONLY KEY 🔐 to skin perfection I am happy that I finally have an idea of what’s happening to me as a 28 yo woman who suffered from acne my whole life
For its the opposite. I lost my period for a couple of years after just getting it and at that time my skin was GLOWING and so clear, basically the pinnacle of korean glass skin. I also ate absolute shit (along with veges ofc). Now, that I have my period, fixed my eating habits, and started exercising again, have all these acne on the lower region of my face. It has absolute affected my confidence and self esteem 😢. I can’t even go back to our province bc my afraid that our neighbors, who used to praise me for my skin (even asked me for my skincare routine), will see my face and mock me.
Thank you so much for making this video! It’s so wild how this video was recommended to me because I haven’t gotten my period in almost 3 months and this has never happened to me before. I have gone from a busy life working to becoming unemployed and with a lot of time on my hands. I’ve been getting more breakouts than usual, and I know it was due to me not getting my period. I am now very aware that my eating habits are what got me to this situation 😭 thank you for the eye opener
awww this means a lot, thank you so much!! glad we have this community to support and continuously learn from each other! acne can be soooo confusing, so we're all in it together :) - fel xx
@@BeautyWithin You're right. I've shared this video to my friends so that they too can be introduced to the concept of insulin resistance. Thank you once again.
don't worry, this too shall pass hahah, I definitely still go through bacne and also trying to figure it out. I think using a BHA body spray defs helps, or a bha body wash! and there's also gentle retinol moisturizers that can also work wonders. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!! - fel xx
it's a blessed I somehow stumbled on your account and watch this video because recently I've been trying to get rid and finding out why I have these acne and yes my period is in a irregular way too. thank you for creating this video and explain this in an easy way.
I paused my workout classes for a while because I was feeling unmotivated, watched your video and signed back up to it immediately 😂 I finally got my cystic acne somewhat under control and watching your video made me realise I better keep up with my improved lifestyle for the long term
Awww this is awesomeee! honestly we all go through ups and downs with feeling motivated with everything, you're not alone there! hahah. You got thisss, we'll keep each other motivated from afarrr hehe, thanks for sharing! - fel xx
Explaining the relationship between sugar, carbs, insulin and hormone levels really helped me to understand this vicious cycle. They used to say it but I didnt get, now I know why I should avoid from certain foods, not as a basic prohibition but as a well-explained and understood cause of my lately hormonal acne. It was under control for couple of years, that I'm on birth control pills but recently, for couple of months it came back even though I'm still on the medication and nothing could stop it. I'm gonna reorganize my nutrition style. I used to avoid from certain oils, as we all know it causes acne, but I didnt get why sugar or non oily carbs may cause acne. Your video really helped me. Thank you!
My 10 year daughter has been using all of these products for a few months. She gets mild/moderate acne on her forehead mostly. When using all three products (foaming cleanser, moisturizer, and skin serum) Acne Treatment dermalmd serum works great! Seriously great! You can tell when she gets lazy with it cus she’ll have a forehead breakout. But this is the best!
Initially I ddI not think this was a video about nutrition, I thought you were going to show some products but I actually learned a lot, made me look at how my life has changed, what I’ve been eating or ingesting that has changed, skin really isn’t just what’s on top it has so much to do with internally and I’ve never really looked at that before I wanted to believe that I could get rid of my acne by just using good products but when I look at what’s changed, I have really been consuming a lot more sugars a lot less fibers, fruits all that stuff, I’ve seriously never wanted the believe I had to change my diet in order to help my skin but the last 6 months since I got my new job I’m working more I’m eating a lot of food from work I’m drinking all the sugary drinks all the milk and replacing my water with it. Thank you for this video it seriously made me realize what was going on and looking at what I’m doing and what I can do to help myself. Really a great video, thank you I’m excited to make some changes and hopefully help my body overall!!
I rarely comments, but i just wanna say, Thankyou so much Felicia and beauty within team! This video and other videos (golden latte, spearmint tea, etc) help me a lot!
This video was so informative. My body reacts the same way as yours, and the struggle with irregular periods is real. I’d love to see what kind of foods you made at home that helped get you back to the normal.
I think you just answered some major questions and connected SO many dots in my mind. I know what to change, genuinely thank you. I think this will work out for me
Thank you so much for being so personal! My family has very beautiful skin without effort and mine specially around the chin/jaw/neck area and it's very frustrating. Mine looks like yours but worse but I wanted to thank you for showing me that even someone who knows a lot about skin care has issues too!
OMG..😰😰😰😰 the same thing happened with my skin... in the middle of the dec month suddenly there was a sudden breakouts of my cystic acne... and im still suffering from it... im in my 30s... n i was hella oily skin girl... but ryt now my skin is dry and deserted.... thanks for the video fel... ❤
That's a great , easy explanation! I'm an obgyn and a lot of patients could regulate their period like Fel without the need for medication... of course insulin resistance is not the only cause of acne or lack of menstrual period but it's really common... and we should all start by having a healthy body 💖
I've never lost my period (it's actually annoyingly regular), but I've been quite stressed at work in the past few weeks and have definitely been coping by snacking on more chocolate, and it's showing on my skin D: Definitely need to reduce that and start eating more greens again
So true! Would love to know what acne free treats you eat to satisfy your sweet/junk food cravings. I know cravings subside when we've detoxed but still wondering
Yep! I have a hormone imbalance I deal with from primary ovarian failure syndrome. Diet plays a huge role in how I feel and how my skin looks. It's so instant how bad or good it can get based on my eating habits.
Also everyone talks about estrogen and testosterone while progesterone is very important too! When you have high levels of cortisol, this 'eats up' the progesteron therefore causing PMS and also acne! When there is little progesterone, the estrogen becomes too high.
Dairy is fine for me, and trying a plant-based diet did absolutely nothing (if anything, meat helps prevent the acne). But what I did find was any spikes of simple carbs OR eating a lot of seed oils will trigger breakouts for me. I don't really have hormonal acne, either, but these two things will trigger sebum and inflammation.
Mind blowing. I have back acnes for years but I never thought my irregular periods have any things to do with it. Thank you for sharing. I definitely will start to add more fiber to my diet from now on.
Thank you so much for this content last year I was diagnosed w pcos and have been struggling w the symptoms including the cystic acne. My health care provider sort of gave me a quick run over the side effects of my symptoms but never took the time to break down why and how my body is reacting. This was so insightful and so much more meaningful than ”just diet and exercise, see you next year !” Can’t wait to create new habits, and excited for more content to come! 💖
Right now my acne has cleared a lot because I was on pills but I have changed things in my diet while still enjoying the indulgent things in life and I love herbal tea and apple cider vinegar diluted with hot water as well as miso and changing to oat milk and being more mindful to my gut health. I have a long way to go and right now I'm skint but as soon as I get my first income from my new job I'm determined to spend it on eating healthy and finally get that gym membership!
Thanks for giving us your research about those stuff and you explained it so well 🙌🏽I had those acnes and my tummy was getting huge and I'm having PCOS since I remember. actually weight lose will helps to cool our body and drinking water also a big help for that because the high body heat can effect to the body hormones however. so weight lose, cutting all the carbs and maintain our BMI is the best way to reduce those extra hormones. I knew those things but I learned a lot today what actually going out there 🙌🏽❤️ with the insulins and sugar coffee and dairy products. ☺️
Thankful that my body reacts to the garbage lifestyle I make (junk food, not enough sleep, little to no water intake, not exercising, etc.) by giving me signs like acne and that I should take a good lifestyle into action, before the worst possible scenarios happen...
I went to Italy with my partner for a week, and obviously ate and drank 24/7…by the end of the trip I started getting crazy cystic acne on my neck and my skin is so greasy. Finally getting it back under control over a month later 🙃
My endocrinologist told me, if you have a family history of diabetes, you're very likely to have that too.. increase in insulin level , pcos etc which causes cystic acne by triggering testosterone and androgens,In such cases you need to intake some medicines regularly to regulate your insulin and blood sugar level and also maintain your hormonal balance
So glad I came across this video of yours. I missed one cycle of my periods and exactly at that time I was also going through a tough phase. I was eating out all the time to get some joy out of life. And I had exactly the same acne as you. It’s crazy how the body works. Just wanted to say ,thanks for all the meaningful advice. 💯💯💯
This is literally me, in summer my skin was glowing it was wonderful especially because ive had skin issues before and currently ive got 4 cystic pimples in my cheek, really prominent and in a square...,
Thank you for this video :') My cystic acne suddenly popped up and I couldn't figure out which foods I've been eating that were triggering my acne or if it was my skincare.
Thank you so much for this informative video!! I’m struggling with my acne for as long as I remember, and no matter what products I used, they never seemed to work. I’ve tried taking care of my diet but it is so hard for me, I don’t even understand how I could ever get this addicted with sugar and coffee… but your video really inspired me to not lose hope and start this journey again. Thank you so, so much!! 🤍
Thank you for providing information on hormonal acne. I have the exact acne problem and I didn't know what has causes it. NOW I finally know. =D You have saved me.
What if you're someone who actually consistently eats fruits/veggies/oatmeal/smoothies/fibrous foods but still has cystic acne? Is it also a stress thing? I have found that my acne causes a lot of emotional stress and I am also more of a negative self talker - and I am trying to reduce my stress by improving my self talk and trying to not care about my acne's appearance...but it is difficult. It has caused a LOT of red scarring.
Hi Sophie! Like you, i suffered from cystic acne due to multiple factors, stress was definitely one of them. And I had/ still have oily skin. I have cleared my acne and I share how in my 12 step playlist on my page. I truly hope it helps you! btw, there are moisturizers for acne prone skin. I will share what I use.
Y'all should do videos about what you eat in a day. Not a lot, because that could get unhealthy fast, but just in tandem with some of your lifestyle videos!
Great video! Very informative and helpful for many people! It’s so important to connect skin issues with our overall health! Great work Fel! And also great result on your own skin! ❣️❣️
I don't really know if it's for the stress or my eating habits but 3 month ago I started to get cystic acne and I'm so depressed, really. I never feel pretty and I really hate it. Thank you for your info! I'm gonna change my eating habits from now on!
This is so awesome.. I been having acne breakouts the past year and I just kinda realised the signs all points to hormonal acne. Great explanation from u! I have cut my processed sugar last 2 months and I think e breakouts have lessened. Thank u!
You have explained so well. Kudos to your research. This helps me too now to understand why these acnes keep appearing. Now i need to discipline my food. Thanks 😊
