I am with you on the no-dairy-better-skin train! Dairy is in EVERYTHING! But when I swapped out for Oatmilk, Oatmilk creamer, almond cream cheese, almond yogurt - it made the world of difference in my skin. I'm a Registered Dietitian - and I can vouch for the liver and brassica link - it works too!! Something to keep in mind - it can take 3 months for changes you are doing now to show up on your skin. So keep on trying don't give up! Great video!!!
Dairy is delicious. No nut milk could replace the taste of dairy, but I agreed with you. I once had too many pimples, but after I tried dairy-free diet, my skin were much clearer than ever.
I’ve been trying no diary products and I didn’t see a change. I am going to try to be as consistent as possible for three months and see what happens! Thanks for the hope.
This is the best video on acne skin care I’ve ever seen in my life! Thank you so much for sharing this information with everyone and much needed. I went through all of these problems and found that every point that you have made is what I had to learn in my twenties the hard way with my acne journey: reducing refined sugars, dairy and caffeine intake. Eating more veggies and drinking water, gentle exfoliation and cleansing, and moisturizing have all been my saving grace. However, in my journey I have also found that anti-bacterial cleansers like charcoal cleansers and the lowest percentage of benzoyl peroxide 2.5% spot treatment (which has the lowest level of irritation and applied nightly only) have also been extremely helpful. Regular laundry of pillows, blankets and facial towels has also been very helpful.
I’ve dealt with acne for my entire adult life. Fel’s journey is so relatable. I too tried skincare, oral medication, supplements and everything else under the sun. In the end, a Keto diet is what did the trick. If anyone is reading this, desperate like so many of us have been for a “cure”, I really recommend Keto. Try it and I hope it is the “miracle” it was for me.
Love this “less rules more life” wisdom! Also, thank you for bringing up our terrible American bread (and milk)! We SO need to raise the bar here. We put sugar in everything! It doesn’t even taste good!
There's no definition in "healthiness" of food which just comes back to what that meant for you!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and there are great tips too!!
I can’t begin to tell you how much this has helped Fel. I really needed to hear this stuff that Deep down I KNOW I already know but don’t put into practice and I learned new things too so can’t thank you enough. I’m looking forward to seeing the video on what sort of foods you eat. Thank you for taking the time to do these Fel. You are appreciated 🙏💖🌸
Awww this is so sweet 😭💕 I'm so happy that you found this video helpful and thank you for taking the time to write this comment and for being on this journey with us 😇 I look forward to filming that video too! It's gonna be fun hehe
Thanks for mentioning PCOS! I really appreciate you making this type of videos and sharing such a versatile and positive approach with us. The way you talk about a problem and the whole energy of the video is exactly what makes you feel nice and more optimistic and just... better about life. Please keep doing this! 💜
I also have PCOS and this video makes me feel I'm not the only one. The only method so far that helps control my PCOS is birth control and simple skincare routine.
Wow...thank you so much! I've been helped by an iridologist to create a protocol for healing my skin. With vegan raw food for lunch and cooked whole food for dinner, herbal teas, unprocessed food, Natural oils and essential oils, affirmations and meditations...It was challenging in the beninning but It helped me a lot!! Can't wait to see your what I eat in a day videos 💕🦋🌻
For me now, I discovered the most factor that leads me to breakout is the weather in my country... I live in hot & humid weather all throughout the year. My skin truly doesn't belong here. I can sweat easily and that makes my skin super super oily. One thing I learned the most from Fel is all skin type need hydration. It really is the key for balanced skin. Currently I'm still looking for hydrating serum that was super light and not goopy.
I L O V E these kind of videos from Fel, they’re always such an inspiration. I’m thinking to try the broth and also more veggies. We can do this 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Super helpful, thank you! I am on my way with changing my diet. Currently I am trying gluten free, soy free bc vegan actually didn't do much. Hoping that getting even more veggies in will help. Your encouragement helps a lot
I figured out after years that i had to cut dairies out, as well as cereals, or at least lower them. I kinda lied to myself that whole time bc i simply didn’t want to let down my cheese (i’m French😋) but now i’m not turning back. And just like you said, you really learn to enjoy what you eat knowing that it’s doing much good to yourself ❤️
this is so inspirational. i really love approaching this matter from your perspective Fei, which makes me think of approaching food in a better way, which suits my body. Thank you and hope for more videos like this in the future!
Always an amazing and insightful video from you guys 🤗 having PCOS and Endometriosis, I have a lot of inflammation and your tips and recipes have helped me so much 💗
Thank you soooo much for this, oh my gosh 😭 I haven't been formally diagnosed with PCOS, but considering what my doctor has recommended and tests she's done with me, I'm pretty sure that's what she thinks I have. The weird thing is my hormone levels were completely normal, but my inflammation markers were high. This journey you've been on is the one right in front of me right now, to clean up my diet and nutrition and hopefully lower inflammation as well. I definitely jumped head-first into it right away, only to crash and burn just as quickly as I started and swear off the diet, meanwhile my symptoms just keep getting worse. I'm trying to take a more gradual approach this time and just as you said, try enjoying veggies and do a little at a time, making it fun and not a militaristic "yes" or "no", which is difficult as I'm really good at being really hard on myself 😅 Anyway, all this rambling to say from the bottom of my heart that I'm so grateful to you for sharing your story with us, and that it's so nice to hear from someone who's had success with not just your skin, but your overall health too 💖 It really means a lot to me, lol 😅
Awww I'm so glad that you found this video helpful 💕Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment and for sharing your story with us as well 😇 It's truly inspiring to see despite how unique and different we all are, what we're going through are fundamentally the same and we can all relate to each other's stories and experiences 😊
totally relatable when you move to other country and your skin somehow got worse?? it happens to me when I studying in UK and the water there is hard. I got acne almost everyday 😭 and it's so hard to get rid off. my PIH was never fade. and the milk there taste soooo fatty (but it's delicious lol). once I back home, my skin was healing and PIH is fading too... i used to drink milk every day and yeah that contributed to acne. but once I stop (while I was in UK) it's actually have some changes. altho I still consume some dairy products that has milk in it. it's ok than just consume milk as a whole. I also notice when I eat cheese, my skin would react and one pimple will appear next day 😓
i love this diet way of thinking, i’ve always put off trying to change my diet bc i hated the idea of trying to restrict myself and cutting things out of my diet. thank you fel!!!!!
I don't know if I have PCOS, I've had one doctor tell me I have it but then the next doctor told me that I didn't. I've recently come off the contraceptive pill (which regulates my hormones) and when I'm not on the pill I have pretty bad hormonal acne and oily skin. I've been on a caloric deficit diet for around 3 weeks to try and lose weight but I've also noticed a massive difference in my skin while on this diet - it's a lot less oily (a tolerable level of oily now), barely any breakouts and pretty much haven't got any cystic acne yet too. I (and my skin) couldn't agree more that cutting carbs/sugar really does help with regulating my crazy hormones! Although I've only been off the contraceptive pill for a few months so I'll see how my skin is later down the track but I'm feeling quite hopeful.
Fel, I loved this! I could hear you talk everyday! The team also does such a fab job editing! Ugh. Also totally with ya! I’ve been adding spinach tomatoes & bell peppers into my morning breakfast! And mid day I get my vegetable smoothie ON 😎😎😎 and at night I make sure to take my probiotics and middday I have my matcha with collagen! I love to add stuff throughout the day like almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds and such. I’m trying to find the best balance. And it’s all a trial and error!
Dairy and sugar for me is the most difficult ones to be free from it. I absolutely love those two, but I once had dairy-free and less sugar diet and it did miracles on my skin. Too bad I didn't practice it until now since I can't live wihout boba milk tea, but I limit my dairy intake like once/twice per month.
My tip for taking (big) pills: bite off and chew a piece of bread (or sth else), then before swalloing, add the pill into your mouth. Then you are not that aware of the swallowing process I find.
What a time to be alive, I would hear that dairy and sugar were bad for inflammatory and other acne but I never tried it...in another video I remember Rowena and Felicia explaining exactly WHY they contribute to acne and light bulb moment. I reduced them and I haven't gotten a painful pimple ever since. Sure little here and there but nothing too major
Whole video I was waiting for Felicia to mention stress level. I guess, no matter how healthy you eat, if you have, say, anxiety disorder, it will affect your hormones. Of course, eating healthy is important for good skin but your psychological state goes first anyway. Felicia mentioned that you need to enjoy what you are eating but this is just a part of you-need-to-be-relaxed thing. Maybe, when Felicia moved to New York her stress level increased and that partially could cause emotional overeating. This theory about our brain likes unhealthy food is... wrong to me. Our brain likes easy ways to distract. When we are stressed, it is much easier to eat some treat instead of cooking something healthier. Healthy food can be delicious. So it is just about your habit and emotional condition. I think, being relaxed and cool is vital in general, not only for skin =)
This is the first video that I've watched from 'beauty within' in a loooong time! Loved it!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Everything here is perfect, thank you so much!! Hugs and kisses! ♥️
I feel seen - everything you described in this video is how i've been feeling the last several years. Love you and this channel, thank you for all the wisdom you share
So true, thank you fel for sharing this. I’ve been trying to watch my diet lately and my skin is slowly getting better. I still have acne butI feel like I’m on the right track. Really, unless u change yr approach to diet, u can never predict your acne. I keep a journal of what I eat everyday, it really helps.
Love this!!!! Very helpful!!! I hope to become a member soon, Black Friday and cyber Monday kicked my butt hahaha Love ya !!! It’s so nice to see how you view it! Very nice!!!
I just had acne as a teen but not as an adult, however my brother continues to suffer with adult acne and uses differin gel. I don't eat dairy or unhealthy food and also am on a contraceptive pill that's anti-androgenic so that's probably why I don't get acne, in addition to the fact that my skin is mega dry without a spec of oil. I heard Whey protein also leads to acne, which my brother drinks and probably makes it worse
Seriously, the most helpful video for acne I have ever watched. It made me excited to start implementing changes in my diet, because I have already seen such great improvement on my skin listening to your advices. Thank youu
I really don't understand what shall I eat it's really confusing. Please do a dedicated video once a video what I eat in a week. A proper balance diet 🥺
It's been always a struggle for me, because I love cheese and I live in the UK where the cheddar is the best... I also love chocolate so you can imagine what I'm going through :D but yeah, moderate everything. And veggies are your friends 🥺
There was a video that you said you could not get into journaling and now you should retry the journaling again with the trip of the wellness of the acne, food, supplements, and nutrition Routine.
I've been quite stressed at work recently so I've been eating a lot of sugary foods, and my skin's been going haywire! Definitely need to focus on eating more veggies
I hope you make a yearly round up update of your best product in separate categories. Im looking to switch skin care routine now, and i usually base my purchase on those “best product videos”.
thank you so much! i’m already on so much meds because of my mental illnesses and i’ve been struggling with all the supplements and diets since i usually turn into something destructive. but this really made me encouraged to try once more to balance out all my hormones. thank you so much❤️
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son Jesus. He was crucified, buried and then rose again on the third day. Believe in Him and you will have eternal life.
You mentioned that the milk is different in the States vs Australia-did your skin breakout less in Australia? It also sounds like adding veggies and fiber has helped your skin but it also sounds like having green smoothies regularly didn't help. Do you think it was because the rest of your diet didn't change when you were having the smoothies? Thanks for sharing your journey Felicia!
Rewatching this trying hard to change my diet the only thing that has helped is the roaccutane but my diet stil needs to change. I eat great during breakfast and lunch mums fresh cooking I'm indian asian so fresh fish veg and meat n spices but it's the night time snacking that gets me. Crisps and sweets are my weakness as is anything fried, but I was determined. So I changed to oat milk for breakfast for my cereal and said no to fried chicken! I had to leave the room to stop myself but I still did. Still gotta my my night habits and I've made a vow to stop eating past 7pm sometimes it's hard so I've now got miso soup to stop the late night cravings. 2022 is looking bright (hopefully!)
I find that my diet doesn't impact my skin, then again my weight itself most likely does, as the bigger I am the more my hormones get outta wack. What I have noticed is that my skin clears up in the winter and then in the summer it is like painful acne all over my face.
Not a products recommendation video but does the cerave moisturising lotion make anybody feel hot? I tend to sweat and feel hot after using it. I have really oily skin is it bad for me because I literally just bought it
I personally don't feel that with the Cerave lotion, but I know exactly what you're talking about -- I had an experience like that with another moisturizer in the past, and that made me realize the product just wasn't for me. I don't think it's normal or good to have a lotion you use every day to make you feel hot and uncomfortable. It could be that it's too heavy for your skin, or maybe there's an ingredient that your skin just doesn't like. I would recommend trying out a different lotion for sure. You want something you're going to use every day to feel effortless. I have combo skin so I'm not sure I would have a good recommendation for you, but I always love water-cream type moisturizers. They're not too heavy, but make my skin feel hydrated and moisturized after. Krave has an Oat water cream moisturizer that's really nice. Iunik is also affordable and has a couple of good options for moisturizer, they have a centella gel-cream moisturizer and regular beta-glucan cream moisturizer also. Hope this helps! And if the cerave doesn't work for your face, it might work for your body! Always good to repurpose : )
@@bliplee Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate you taking your time to type something this long. Thank you also for the recommendations. I was actually using the versed gel cream but I felt it was not doing much for me and I also didn’t like the matte finish so I got the cerave one yesterday and I’m so hurt it makes me feel the way I feel because I live in Ghana and all these products are super expensive but I guess I don’t have a choice. I’ll look into the products you recommended. Thank you so much.
I cleared up my skin (except on my period) by taking out dairy (except creamer in coffee), vitamin supplements, only washing face at night and serums in morning (literally just nicinamide & vitamin C)… biggest game changer for me is fresh aloe Vera! I found it balances your skins PH and it’s been a holy grail for me…. Now I just need to fit out how to prevent the random pimples on my period. I’m trying to incorporate veggie smoothies and see how that goes. Also, my skin was amazing, until I started eating white bagels again and cottage cheese. I got a couple bad blind pimples that hurt so much. Watched these videos and right in the trash they went lol
Fel~ if only I could post a pic here and let you see how much I can relate on this. I even think we have same skin and same spots where I could see my acne. huhuhu. I did try a lot of this and that. 😑
Hi I always watch your videos its very informative and easy to understand ❤️. I would like to recommend a product/brand review if its okay 😅 I want to know more and maybe others too 😂 what you can say about the brand NACIFIC. I have seen product recommendation from niacinamide review of yours and I checked the product and the brand, they had a lot to offer hehe what are your thoughts about them 🥰 please react if you see and consider this comment recommendation of mine 🥰
