Facial skin?

Yucca · 3 Dec 2006 at 15:49

Hi all, ok, with the hopes that i will get some serious answers rather than the usual mustard replies...

My face is not really spotty as such but its not perfectly clear. I have small red spots that make it look like ive just gone through the really spotty stage and im recovering. But im not!!

Ive never really been spotty.

I already drink loads of water and wash my face throughly a few times a day to stop it getting oily. I also go gym regular and eat healthy. Is there anything that onyone can recommend to make my facial skin from good to perfect? besides water, anything that might help food or drink wise?

Lemonjuice all over your face should help...

fish/fish oil, eggs, milk is fortified with it or just take a good brand of one a day pills

So multi vitamins may help? I already eat loads of eggs and fish and drink loads of milk.

I find the biggest factor in determining how my skin looks is the amount of fruit i eat

ringo747 · 3 Dec 2006 at 16:25

sleep is a major factor too.. also uv rays are also very good.. not overdone tho!

thought vitamin E was the one for skin ?

try some moisturiser etc too

just dont tell your mates down the pub about it

Toothpaste.

Milk and dairy products increase the likelyhood of getting spots. Linseeds and fish oil (omega 3/6) help a lot.

Yup seconded, sleep is a very large factor in my experience.

Less Fatty crap and more Fruit and veg. Job done Guv'nor.

I'm sure I once read that eating junk food actually has little to no affect on severity of spots.

strangely enough that works but you'd look silly with it on

wash your face in tea tree oil, can get a lot of TTO based products from body shop, they really do work against spots and dirty pores

Tea Tree Oil Is seconded

You can get a nice big bottle from australian bodycare or you go the more manly approach and get the King Of Shaves TTO Wash.
