For decades, I'd been in an all-out commando battle with cystic acne.
I cut out gluten and dairy. I had my daily green smoothie or juice and ate my leafy greens and colorful veggies and fruits every day. Sprouted buckwheat, quinoa and millet were staples with raw nuts and seeds typically in my pocket. But, I still had acne and I had it bad.
Nothing seemed to do the trick.
Time and time again I would try a new pimple potion, lotion or serum. I tried everything from expensive designer products, department store brands, infomercial goods and even the so-called "natural" product lines. My skin would improve for a week or two, sometimes I'd get lucky and would see improvement for a month, but then it would return and with gusto.
With my husband's urging, I went to a dermatologist, who told me it didn't matter what I ate or what I applied to my skin, "acne was a genetic condition and the only remedy that would help was taking a product like Accutane."
It never occurred to me that maybe my pimple potions were actually causing my pimples until I read a blog post of Tera's. Slowly my skin began to improve! New breakouts were appearing less and less and when they did, they healed much more quickly than they had in the past.
When I would run into friends or clients I hadn't seen in a while, they were blown away and couldn't believe how beautiful my skin looked. "What are you using?!" was the first thing out of their mouths. Whatever it was, they wanted it, too!!
