I left with a topical gel, that I used for about two months, with no change. After that, I got some high end skin cream that was supposed to produce miraculous results, and again, after about 2 months, still no difference. At this point I was pretty discouraged, not only was the rash unattractive, but it was also horribly itchy and uncomfortable. Wearing make up made it even worse so needless to say I was in a bit of a face funk. And then one day at the pharmacy a skin specialist recommended I try the Perfect Skin Vitamins. She said the feedback on these vitamins has been very positive, but she wasn't sure if they would work on skin issues related to allergies. I figured it can't hurt to try them so I bought a bottle. After about two weeks, my rash was gone. I've been taking them for almost 2 months and continue to be blemish free (even after indulging in the "bad foods" - which I am really going to try to stay away from now!) The bottle recommends two pills a day, morning and night, but I've only been taking one in the morning with food and am extremely pleased with the results.
One thing I wonder about is when you give up certain foods completely for an extended period of time, like sugars and sweets, and then re-introduce them, your body views them as toxic and becomes inflamed (both internally and externally). So what's best? Do you give up whatever it is completely, never eating it again, or do you just have it in controlled moderation? This is the part of the puzzle I'm still trying to figure out.
Glad to hear that you found something simple that works!
ReplyDeleteRemember our trip to Portland in October and my hot flashes? The Super Supplements' guy was so helpful, and I learned a lot from you and him. The Remefemin totally took care of my hot flashes - until about a week ago. Helloooo...they're back. Amazing what the body can do, isn't it? I guess menopause is ON here. Will see how it goes. Maybe I can simply wait it out. Imagine if we lived in a really hot and humid climate!
Karen, I bet if you went back to Super Supplements and told them what you were taking and how it's no longer effective, they would recommend the next steps. Our Super Supplements just closed this weekend but is reopening to a new location next week ( I can't remember if you had one by you ) so if you want to come out here and shop together, let me know! They are so knowledgable there, it's like having a doctor and pharmacy on call anytime you need them. And I do LOVE hot, not so much HOT and humid but I used to LOVE 80s and 90s. Remember, I'm cold if it's below 72! :)
