Skin problems

I used to suffer with my skin for a long time, although what I had was more mild occassional facial acne rather than really widespread problems.
I never went to a dermetoligist but I researched what they did, and seemingly they just treat the symptoms rather than the cause of the acne.

Seemingly the truth about acne is that those who suffer are always going to be prone to it. Dermatoligists generally say that diet has no affect but I've come across a lot of people online who claim that a bad diet can cause the liver to become quite toxic and for acne sufferers that results in skin problems.
I then found out that the best solution is to stop eating things with high levels of saturated fats and carbs and detox your liver.
I have had success using this product...http://www.florahealth.com/Flora/home/canada/Products/r8070.asp

If you eat healthily and live a generally healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly you should see improvements with Flor Essence.
There may well be other products that do a similar job, I just haven't used them myself.
A friend of mine experienced similar problems to what you're discribing and I directed him towards Flor Essence and he says it's cleared his skin up brilliantly. He was using Carb suppliments for training and never suffered from such problems before that. If you use these Carb shakes in the gym the acne may your body's way of telling you it can't handle what's in them, the same can be said for your diet also.
Hopefully you'll have a good reuslt yourself should you try the Flor Essence, it cost approx €30 for a bottle, which should last you a few weeks, and if your skin clears sufficiently you can just continue with the healthy eating and drop the Flor Essence completely.
I used to get anxious about my acne, I always took good care of myself and having it didn't make sense. It really only developed in my early 20's, not when you'd expect to be getting it.
Once I tried detoxing my liver and cutting out any bad food, I suddenly found I was in control of it and it's no longer a probelm for me, bar the occasional minor spot here and there, I've got it under control.
My experience seems to contradict the notion that diet has no affect on acne. Taking care of you liver and intestines seems to be quite an affective, not to mention simple method of avoiding skin problems.

All the best, hopefully what I've said can help you out in some way.

hey all

there's no problem with discussing skin care in general, and things that you can do to give you a youthful and clearer complexion etc but please don't stray into the realm of giving anything that could be construed as medical advice. That includes suggesting any medications etc, what works for one may not necessarily work for another and may actually cause harm.

As always, if its a real problem for you, the GP is the first port of call, not the internets

I apologise if I came across as giving medical advise or recomending a medication.
I had success by just eating well and using a non medicated herbal tea to cleanse my digestive system.
I certainly wouldn't advocate suggesting actual medication to anyone or telling them to do something which would have any side affects at all.
The solution for me involved no medication or doctors. To be honest I was dubious about how affective it would be when I tried it. Often the simplest thing can be the most affective.
