Well, this may not be discovery of the century or anything, but I have discovered something that has changed my life.
For about a decade, or maybe longer, I’ve had terminal acne. Sometimes it’s barely noticeable, other times, and especially in my early twenties, it’s truely rife. I always used to get it around my cheeks, eyebrows and nose.
Now one starts to wonder after such long periods of time where this acne comes from? And if it’s not hormonal, what exactly is the catalyst? At a young age when my acne first started I was prescribed a very large bottle of pills. However at that time (around 15) I could hardly be bothered to do my homework, let alone take a pill every day. My pairents, at the time, didn’t really seem to care about making me do homework or reminding me to take some pills – they were in the middle of divorce – so that particular avenue of help did little to find a cure.
When my acne became rife, I tried everything to make it go away. Creams, pills, lotions & potions. Nothing seemed to work. So I thought, maybe it’s diet, and stopped eating all sugary foods. Nothing happened…
Until I moved to Japan.
Some 4 years later, I have moved back to Japan again. I did get some acne living in England in between (I lived in Japan for only 1 year the first time) and it was starting to get rather bad. However now I have found the solution! Cheeze! By taking cheeze out of my diet, (and it has to be said; there are few foods here that contain cheeze) my skin is now acne free!!
So in the end, it was diet. Something so simple, that cannot be affected by drugs. Only thing is… I love freaking cheeze!!
