Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Date: February 11, 2008 02:15PM I've always had sensitive skin but this last month, I have been healthier than ever before... tonnes of great raw food, water and exercise- but have been getting spots and some patches of dry skin that wont seem to budge :-(
It always seems to be in the same place- usually the left hand side of my face around my cheek. Also, I rarely ever get spots anywhere else on my body, but lately I've been getting a few here and there around my neck and shoulders. I'm definitely getting enough fats (avos, hemp oil, nuts and seeds). Possibly too much fat on somedays. I work in an office that has a heater that seems to draw all the life out of the air. Could it be down to not getting enough oxygen rather than diet? < confused ;-) Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Date: February 11, 2008 02:42PM Ahhhhhh, good idea- my clothes I tend to wash with Soap Nuts, but my dad usually washes the bedding in who-knows-what!
Thanks for the tip-off! :-) Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Just another thing to consider. (I'm sure you don't have enough! LOL).

Date: February 11, 2008 06:24PM Spots on your neck and shoulders are often caused by staphylococcus rather than propionibacterium acnes, the strain of bacteria associated with acne. I find that certain soaps cause staph breakouts, and also if I have an iron deficiency. Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

I'm quite hardcore anti-additive as far as toiletries and cosmetics go ;-) Something else has occurred to me though. This last week, I have been doing regular face exercises (circulation tapping etc), and it's weird that it's coincided with that. Maybe I am detoxing? Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Date: February 12, 2008 09:42PM For me, breakouts on my shoulders and neck don't have anything to do with additives - in fact I got my worst breakouts with a very natural olive oil soap. I think it was the PH of the soap, either too acid or too alkaline. If I were you, I'd just try a splash of ACV diluted in 5 parts water to the area after bathing. Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Date: February 13, 2008 05:11AM My skin breaks out if I eat more fat than I can digest or especially and most commonly if I food combine poorly such as eating fats with sweets or eating sweets too soon after eating fats.
Love, Uma  Re: Help! Weird Skin breakout!

Date: February 13, 2008 09:33AM Hi guys! To cover all bases, I changed my bedlinen, did the ACV-thing AND have been eating/intend on eating less fat.
Will report back if my skin clears up
