Concerning wrnok84's statement about curing acne in 3 days... Fasting is wonderful for you skin. When you take the digestive burden off of your body, the body starts to clean itself. Lemon juice is also really great. Leo Kiesen recommends drinking a cup of lemon juice before you do anything else every day when you wake up in the morning. |

It's funny that everyone is talking about fasting because just a few weeks ago I was so sick (unusual for me) with a stomach virus (no temp. though) and I couldn't eat for 24 hours(highly unusual for me). My skin cleared quite nicely (probably because I wasn't fussing with it either). I think I'll try the lemon juice-I do put lemon in water and/or unsweetened ice tea when I go out to eat, but I'll try it at home in the morning. I think I'll also try rice milk when I finish up my soy milk. And I agree with the comment about stress. When I was really breaking out, I would check my face in the mirror every ten minutes, picking at it, etc. It really added up to alot of stress...and probably more breakouts. Currently, I try my best not to touch my face and I check it only every few hours. I've also become less self-conscious about going out in public with little to no makeup. I figure, lots of people have problem skin so why worry? Life is too short. |

Oh and I forgot that I agree with the running being great for the skin. I am a long distance runner (I run 5x a week for 1 hour to 2 hours at a time) and I find that my stress levels goes way down after a run. But, running outside is the best, don't do the treadmill! |

I would think both are bad, there is nothing good about artificial sweeteners. |

Here is my cure for acne and its free! Follow my advice for a few months and your acne will be improved! Acne is mostly hormone related. Do not eat things that mess too heavily with your hormones. Eliminate all soy/herbal/phytoestrogen products and foods from your diet. They cause your hormones to be imbalanced and not only that you can get serious health problems from them especialy women!! Eat less starchy carbohydrates. For instance, try to stop eating bread, grains, cerials, sugary food ect. They mess with your hormones too and only turn into sugar in the body! Instead eat plenty of vegetables. They will add the fiber and the necesary carbs to your diet without needing the starchy carbs like breads and grains. Eat one to two fruits each day but not too much or you will be eating a lot of sugar which messes with hormones. Eat oily fish like salmon at least twice a week. The omega 3 is very good for your heart and your skin. Make sure you get enough protein daily. Exersize regularly, it balances hormones. Also start a regular weight lifting routein. If you exersize you must weight lift because exersize is very good for your heart but it causes muscle loss. Your exersize and weight lifting routine does not have to be heavy duty either. Just 20 minutes or so every other day with light weights and exersize. That is my cure and you don't need to pay for it! Try it for a few months! It really works not only for your skin but you will feel better all over. |

Lol... what is the difference between "aspartame" in ZMA and artificial sweetners? Well - it's not aspartame in ZMA, its something called ASPARTATE... totally different, and it's just another form of the mineral. |
