Acne – I’m desperate!

Dear Maiken,

Thank you so much for your letter. I am happy to be able to guide you and give you advice on your skin.

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I know myself how big the market of the skincare industry is and how stressful it can be to have a skin disorder. But I will point out that you should never let your skin disorder destroy your lust for life and your energy. You have every opportunity to experience and enjoy it every day, a “little” acne should not take that away from you.

With that being said, I would recommend you the following routines (you might know some of them already):

Skincare

• I would recommend you to read my cure for acne, which is my simple and very effective step-by-step programme for curing acne and blemishes, where you will receive:
• Documented knowledge in a language that is easy to understand
• An easy step-by-step guide
• Video guides where I will tell you and show you how to do the different steps
• A list of products so you see, which products to use to treat your skin

Diet

It is important that you have a varied and nutritional diet filled with vitamins and essential fatty acids. See my guide to blemishes and diet here.

Exercise and well-being

Exercise a couple of times a week, preferably a little bit every day, where you get your pulse racing and sweat a little. This will boost your circulation and the excretion of waste products in your body.

Last but not least, I wold recommend you the most difficult routine of them all – simply to not focus as much on your skin disorder. I know that it is difficult, but if you keep a negative focus on your disorder and so think negatively about yourself, you will stress your body in a negative way. Smile at yourself and be happy to be the fantastic person that I believe you are.

Acne cure from the dermatologist – Roaccutan

Unfortunately, some acne and other skin disorders are so difficult to treat that some people choose a strong vitamin A cure from the dermatologist. The cure, also called Roaccutan, comes in pill form, and you take the pills during the winter because then the skin becomes thin and more sensitive. There can be some different side effects from the cure, but most people are happy with the results. But I will mention, that I know of people who have been taking Roaccutan for months without any form of improvement with their acne.

Acne and sun, solarium and sunbathing

Your use of sun to cover your skin scares me, but I myself have previously used this method. After the solarium or just simply being in the sun, the skin gets a little glow and color, which makes one's skin problems seem minor. But do not be deceived here. It is an optical illusion, which only destroys the skin, creates premature aging and, at worst, skin cancer.

Minimize your sun tanning, solarium etc - And ALWAYS remember sunscreen

Adult acne

In conclusion, I would like to point out that acne and skin disorders in general does not belong to the teenage years. More and more people suffer from acne in both their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. in addition it must be said - even adult or teen - acne is acne. Perhaps you call it adult acne, teen acne or something else - but the treatment is exactly the same!

Warm greetings with the wish of success in your life
