Here we are at 8 weeks. Generally my skin is clearing but as you can see there are still some spots. Think this is due to a recent daily facial skin massage with a Ridoki (roller) which is helping to improve circulation and in so doing is clearing deeper congestion. After 40 odd years of spots around my chin, I am pleased with the results that have occured in 8 weeks and am confident that my skin will go on improving. It feels differnt to the touch and that's a big thing so I'm less likely to pick!! It's great to be able to go out in public without a desperate neeed to 'cover up' the spots. If I cloose to that's a different matter. So all in all I would say that this regime has made a difference. Thank you.]]> Okay. Here we are at 8 weeks.

So this is 2 weeks on from the last photo. Isn't it a great idea to take photos - even in two weeks I can see a difference. As mentioned on clear-for-life, observing progress is about seeing the developments from before rather than comparing to the overall goal each time. I think this is so true - always measuring the current state with the ideal leaves me dispirited - a case of 'oh no, not there yet'. But... seeing the difference between now and a time ago e.g. two weeks ago, and it leaves me with a greater sense of achievement and progress. Choosing to exercise, drink plenty of water, eat regularly, eat helpful foods, breathe fully and get as much sun and fresh air as possible each day is contributing to a new skin-friendly lifestyle. Mindset is key too I think. I'm feeling less anxious about spots and am consciously choosing to direct a TLC energy towards my skin rather than the previously impatient and hostile engery. It'll take time to change this previous longstanding habit but looking back I can see a difference and that fills me with a good feeling.]]> Well, although the first picture was taken 8 weeks ago, I didn't start the programme until 6 weeks ago.

I am keeping to the skincare regime but am still drinking coffee, an occasional glass of wine and continue to pick at times. However, this said, I feel good about making changes to my lifestyle and the coffee, wine and picking are becoming less. I am keeping to regular fitness, as well as regular meals and 2-3 litres of water a day. After years and years of such habits, it's refreshing to see a difference in behaviour. There's mind set work that I am doing presently too - to do with self-image and self-esteem, so at least now I can look in a mirror and without either turning away or hating what I see. I've discovered that cutting off/disassociating from or sending hateful energy around the body just doesn't work. It's lead to years of misery. And now things are changing and that feels sooooo gooooood!]]> Well, although this is the bare truth of my skin today(still a little shocking to see), comparing it with the first photo, I think I can see an improvement i.e. skin is not so lumpy.

When dead skin cells get caught up and cannot flake from the skin, they block the release of oils from the sebaceous glands. With the back skin being thicker than facial skin, the infection or irritation may be deeper. The deeper the infection or irritation, the deeper the acne treatment will have to work in order to clear up the acne breakout. Why is Back Acne So Persistent? If you have ever faced a breakout of back acne, you know that the rash of bumps seems to take forever to heal. Why? It is all in the skin. The skin on the face is relatively thin. When acne pops up, the treatment instantly hits the affected area and begins to treat the acne breakout. On the back, however, the skin is much thicker than on the face. This means that the infection causing the acne may be deeper into the layers of the skin than the acne appearing on the face. Treating Back Acne Luckily, there are tried and true acne treatments for back acne that work very effectively no matter how deep the root of the acne breakout. In order to get rid of back acne, you need only treat the acne in the same manner as you would treat facial acne. Back acne is really no different than facial acne. The treatment may take longer simply due to the depth of the infection, but all facial acne and back acne treatments serve the same end. Back acne can be an embarrassing problem. You no longer have to be afraid to remove your shirt or wear that dress with the low back cut. You can regain your self esteem and clear up that back acne breakout with a facial acne treatment proven to clear the skin. Why wait to TRY OUT a new method when there are clearly treatments that just plain work?]]> Facial Acne Versus Back Acne Both facial acne and back acne are caused by the same clogs in the pores of the skin.

- Hormones

- Diet

- Genetics

- Vitamin deficiency

- Steroid use

- Stress

- Cosmetics

And so on… most of these suggestions result in one or both of the following,

A sudden increase in oil production
A decrease in the speed of your skin cycle

The most common cause of blocked pores is a sudden increase in oil production. When your sebum glands suddenly produce more oil than normally, your pores cannot release is fast enough onto your skin and will block, trapping oil and creating acne. Should you be in a period of your life (e.g. teens, pregnancy, and severe stress) where your hormones are not balanced, you may suffer from sudden increases in oil and thus acne. Similarly, if your diet is not balanced, you will also suffer from this. A decrease in the speed of your skin cycle is the most common cause of adult acne. This might be caused by work stress, diet change or even menopause. What ends up occurring in this case is the skin is not used to how slowly the new cells are being pushed to the surface so it holds on to the dead cells for too long. These then end up blocking the pores. We don’t know why some pores block and others don’t however we do know that once you have had acne in a particular skin area, the walls of the pores will be weaker and more prone to folding in on themselves and narrowing the exit for the oil. A small blockage that would get easily swept away by the oil in another pore might then block that particular pore. Some types of exfoliation can help avoid a blockage in your pores from dead skin build up and we will discuss those later. The point to note now is that the surface of your skin is not flat. Using a regular exfoliant with little beads in it from the chemist is not going to remove dead skin cells from inside the crevasses of your skin. It is most definitely not going to remove any dead skin cells that have gotten inside your pores. If you can feel the grains of the exfoliant, they are too big to get inside your pores. Regardless of the cause of blocked pores, once the pores are blocked, the result is the same… acne.]]>
