If your acne is hormonal have you tried eating say 3 or 4 meals containing certain types of fish such as Salmon each week?

How about large amounts of EFA without a diet change or a sensible amount with diet change?

How about taking Zinc?

Acne when it is hormone related is usually because the liver can't process the excess hormones because it is too busy trying to process all the toxins from junk & processed foods, dairy etc.

If your acne is truly hormone related then you would benefit from doing some form of detox.

There are a number of ways this can be done. The most effective is a diet change eliminating all or most toxins from the diet. The second is to take special detox supplement formulas. The formulas are not as effective but it depends how good you want the results to be and how much you like junk food etc.

Everyone is different when it comes to Zinc. I personally recommend you take 30mg of elemental Zinc (actual Zinc).

The best forms of Zinc in my opinion are Zinc Picolinate and L-Optizinc. Not all forms of Zinc are the same, some will be the same weight but only contain a small amount of actual Zinc and/or are not easily absorbed. The effectiveness between the different types is substantial.

By taking Zinc you should notice a reduction in the oil production on your skin within a few weeks and the bonus is it is cheap to try.

You can buy Zinc from anywhere that sells Vitamins/Minerals which usually includes supermarkets etc.

There is a big discussion going on about detox formula at the moment on this forum: Click here

Hope this helps,

Ok I will try answer all the above questions in sections.

why is working out better in the evening for your skin, as oppose to working out in the mornings?? IS this true for females as well?

---

This is due to the testosterone levels been at a peak in the morning and slowly less and less throughout the day. I assume it will be the same in a woman but I can't be sure without researching it.

I thouht sex was suppose to help clear acne because one is engaging in some form of exercise and is working up a sweat. ANd when you sweat, you rid some of the toxins in your body.

---

You're right about the sweat removing toxins. This is a very divided view but there are a lot of people (me included) who believe that when you have sex and ejaculate your body looses a lot of Zinc. This in turn causes an in-balance as your body tries to replace the Zinc and in some acne sufferers this aggravates their acne. You can eliminate or reduce the effects by supplementing with Zinc.

Try taking Zinc and see if it improves your condition.

Snipe, your the best. Someone should be paying you for all of the time you take to help people out on here. As far as the EFAs goes I started eating salmon 3 times a week about 3 weeks ago and the results were amazing. I was pretty much totally clear that whole time. I recently had a bad breakout and am back to my old self again. I think it might have been from all the Easter candy I ate, but who knows. Im still on the salmon and hopefully things clear up for me.

Thanks for you compliment.
I would have thought the candy would be to blame.
It's great that your skin improves so much just by eating Salmon. It helps most people but not normally as much as that.

But getting paid?? Nah, I'd say we all do our best to help in this forum and we get paid by the gratitude and thnx instead! :-D
