Supplements That Helped Me Clear My Skin


Let's be honest, everyone struggles with breakouts at some point in their life, whether it's hormonal, stress-related, or you simply forgot to wash your make up off after a night out. Those come and go and we learn how to deal with the pesky little pimples. Acne, however, is a whole another story. Those who suffer from acne know what I mean. Waking up every morning with new zits, picking at them hoping to make them go away faster, causing even more problems than you started out with, layering on foundation hoping that it will cover the redness and avoiding going out because of how bad your skin looks that day.

I've been through it all.

I'm a chronic picker, I'll admit to that. I make my face look a million times worse by trying to extract every clogged pore I can find. That leads to scarring, and me freaking out.

I used to try every topical product I could find on the market to clear my acne, I've been on the pill, I've used Proactiv, I've done masks and serums, you name it, I've probably tried it. From expensive creams to aloe vera, the range of my experiments is wide. I have eventually found products that keep my acne at bay, but what I decided to give a try is supplements. To heal my skin from the inside.

After doing tons of research, and trial and error, I decided to incorporate a few supplements into my diet for a month in order to see how it will affect my skin, and to be quite honest, I didn't expect such good results from a couple of pills.

I have recently gotten off a very restricted no sugar diet, also in search of clearing my acne, and was binge-ing ice cream, sweets, coffee, alcohol, anything that I wasn't allowed to have for nearly 4 months, trust me I HAD IT ALL.

The only thing I kept doing was taking those supplements I am about to mention and my skin has never looked better. At least for as long as I can remember.

Before I hold you up any longer I will name the 3 supplements I have been taking, and am still taking to this day. Those are:

- Probiotics
- Zinc
- Fish Oil

The ones that I used are shown below:





I have also experimented with adding turmeric, and that worked great, but after running out of it, I have not repurchased a new one and my skin did not suffer. I think a combination of the three of those has really improved my skin quality, along with my consistent skincare routine that I've lacked my entire life. I have yet to find photos of my skin looking terrible because I simply deleted them all, but I will insert a photo of what my skin looks like now, and to be honest I am more than happy with it.

Aside from a few scars my skin is pretty clear now, and I plan on attempting to keep it that way. I highly recommend those supplements to anyone that is suffering from acne. If you'd like to do some more research about them, I just used Dr. Axe and his website for more information. There is tons of articles about how most people are Zinc deficient, and how Fish Oil reduces inflammation in the body which reduces breakouts and helps control hormones.

Nizoral For Back Acne

Does your back look anything like either of those two pictures? Chances are you might be struggling with a yeast overgrowth on your body. And luckily for you, I will be sharing one rarely known way to get rid of those pesky pimples and bumps for good. A little background on my back and chest acne: I have never struggled from those, the only acne I ever had was on my face and mainly my forehead, something I will also be discussing in the future. I always had a pretty clear back, and never had any issues with chest acne, unless I worked out and didn't shower on a rare occasion. Suddenly I started having little tiny pimples that weren't filled with puss, they were just red, and impossible to pop. At first I thought that it was just from sweat, and decided to let them be, hoping they would go away on their own like they always do. A couple of weeks went by and my little bumps did not go away, but rather seemed to have spread down my back and upper arms.I was starting t...

Motivation Monday

Hi Everyone! For my first post I wanted to talk about a little bit about what inspired me to create this blog in the first place. I have been writing for a very long time, a few of you might know me from my story "Living With the Bad Boy" on Wattpad. That was my first successful story and it has inspired me to follow my love for writing. Unfortunately, writer's block is inevitable and I would often leave my readers without an update for months. I'd randomly get spurs of energy and inspiration to write something, but not enough to create a whole story. That was my first look into blogging, creating short articles in which I can share my thoughts with the readers. Unfortunately, fear of not succeeding took over and I once again abandoned the idea of writing. Fast forward 6 years later, I am now a senior in college, and the last year has been an extreme transformation. I have began using the infamous Law of Attraction, learning about what motivates me, what works f...
